| Skill | Comment | We focused on | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill learnt: Place Training | Comment: Waffle started his day with the place skill. This skill is great for impulse control as well as developing self-settling skills. We use a treat to lure him onto the bed. Once on the bed we mark yes and give him the treat. We then let him off the bed and start again. Waffles had good engagement throughout his lesson. He was happy to hop on the bed when asked and did a good job staying on the bed until his release word of break. | Focus: Foundation | B |
| Skill learnt: Loose Lead (No pull) | Comment: We worked on waffles loose lead in the classroom. His sister was in eye sight which was a big distraction, although doing very well considering for his first lesson. As we made our way in the direction of his sister he started pulling ahead, but as we turned and walked in the opposite direction, he happily stayed next to his trainer's side. | Focus: Foundation | C+ |
| Skill learnt: Crate Training | Comment: Waffles finished with leave it. We used low value treats to get his attention, waiting for him to stop trying to grab the treat. We then mark yes and give him a high value treat. Once he starts showing he understands what we want we then add in the leave it verbal. Waffles took a bit of repetition to start ignoring the treats but once he did he quickly understood what was wanted of him. | Focus: Foundation | C+ |
