Ahh!

I know I'm updating a lot recently but that's because my dogs are being so amazing!
Li and I did a little agility today. The plan was just to do tricks and cik/cap a little with lots of rewards while playing the "Give me a break" game. Well, whenever I gave him a break he would start jumping on me so I used his enthusiasm to practice some agility. His distance work was fantastic! And the best part.....he ran his first dog walk! I usually put him in the middle and have him run down because we have running contacts and are back training the obstacle. Well, he ran up the contact, past the middle, and down the other side and hit both contacts with perfect stride! I am ecstatic! I wasn't planning on asking for an entire dog walk for a while yet. I'm so happy with my boy, he didn't even look at the donkey today. Starting out with heavy rewards and making him ask -me- to train with him worked awesome.

I took Flick and Li for a 3 mile walk today in pouring rain, lol.

I am on an emotional high still because of what Li did!

Edit:

I sequenced with Flick as well and she did great with distance work. =]

I am going to read Control Unleashed. "When Pigs Fly" and "From the Ground Up" are also on my list. CU mostly for Li's focus. I'm reading "When Pigs Fly" for more info for future reference. Aaand I am working through "From the Ground Up" as well as Anthony Clarke's foundation books for Flick. =D
