Pip lesson 1 week post op.

1. Forget agility lessons - I need Karen to give us tug lessons - cannot believe how she had him addicted in seconds! Practicing today but just not as good at getting him tugging as she is. This is PIP and I did a restrained recall away from me to Karen for the tug - THATS how much she got him hooked!

2. did some end contacts which were good - need to keep and eye on his front feet as he was splaying them. Not sure why as have not noticed this before.

3. record keep attention span.

4. jumping - straight through was fine - but asking for turns I didnt have enough attention and he went to Karen. I should have seen that as he wasnt focussed on the start line. 3rd time he was really on me and did the turn both ways very well.

5. grids - vary them - 6, up to final jump being as much as 18. Some dogs will bounce that, but not necessary. Change them each time so he learns that distance wont always be the same.
