Your journey does not end here, it has only just begun!

Skill Comment We focused on Grade
Skill learnt: Loose Lead (No pull) Comment: First session we worked on Alfie’s loose lead outside. Today we were working on holding back that reward a little longer, we still need to reward our dogs for doing what we ask as they will start to think I’m not going to do it if I don’t get a reward. Basically like us we don’t want to work for free, but we can definitely reward less frequently as he starts to understand the skills really well. Focus: Distraction B+
Skill learnt: Drop/ Down Comment: Secondly we worked on his drop skill with distance inside. He did really well with his skill today we were able to walk around him while he stayed in his drop, we were also working on our release word which is ‘break’. Focus: Distraction A
Skill learnt: Paws Up (on object) Comment: Last session we worked on paws up. Paws up is a fun skill for a dog to put their two front paws up on an object, he did well with this skills but did struggle a little bit with the smaller object. Focus: Repetition B

We recommend your next step should be…
