14/9 Pip & Bonnie training

Pip - looked at the dog walk - need to work more on the ends and have him driving FORWARD to the target.

2 exercises to practice separately
1. have him target and only throw food when he is loking forward to stop him keep looking to me for the reqard and only driving to the target when I'm there.
2. stand in front and heavily reward each nose touch.- moving in an arc
Practice them and dont do whole dog walk for a whilse as we know he can do it now

Jumping - very pleased with the course but on my right arm he is reluctant to stay out.

Get Tony to video me on both arms a few times to see if I do something different.
Practice going round a fan and the jump jump turn and run to front cross posn on the outside - practice rewarding here.

Most focussed he has ever been and came everytime called. Torro was by garden gate and he wasnt too bothered though clearly interested. Didnt bark or react much to men at end of field or van coming up drive. Played well and had a lot of fun!

Bonnie was on fire - So keen and enthusisatic bless her. She loves doing courses and contacts. Need to work on tunnels - esp rear cross on tunnels and cloth tunnels. She isnt happy when I'm not running too. So love her when she is like this to run :) she is so much fun and really loves it.
