| Skill | Comment | We focused on | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill learnt: Place Training | Comment: This session we worked on some place training. Phoenix seemed a little hesitant stepping on and off the bed today so we worked mainly on duration with some trainer distractions. He broke position a couple times when the trainer moved around him quickly so we made sure to build up from predictable movements to quick/random ones! Keep working on his place training at home, adding in those random distractions to test him out - see if you can fool him! | Focus: Duration | B |
| Skill learnt: Trick Training | Comment: This session was a mixture of hanky pull and ring the bell. Phoenix didn’t seem super into his hanky pull today, he did manage a couple nibbles on it but wasn’t overly keen! We decided to grab a desk bell and practice his targeting onto that. He did really well with short distance send to, so we made it increasingly difficult throughout the session, moving the bell further and further away from him. He did really well, we were able to have the bell approximately 1.5 metres away from him! | Focus: Repetition | B |
| Skill learnt: Middle Position | Comment: The last session was spent outside in the sunshine, working on his middles position. Phoenix showed some prior knowledge of this skill but still required a lure into position. We used the two treat method - have him in front of you, throw one treat between your legs behind you, as he gets that treat grab his attention, luring him back through into a sit position! Phoenix was quite happy sitting in between the trainers legs, watching the world go by! You can increase duration in this position, its a great control position for crowded places, to attach a lead, or to simply keep him safe! | Focus: Repetition | B+ |
