Li's weave poles are going great! He is weaving 6 poles that are almost together. His contacts are nice as well. We are still on 36" high. I sequenced a little with Flick and Li today and worked on jumping commands. A little bit of everything, haha. Flick has a hilarious sliding table. I will probably train a sliding down unto the table as a default behaviour and ask for a sit if that is what the judge wants. Or just have two different commands for the table...I don't know yet. Flick is weaving 4 poles that are spaced quite a bit apart.

My goal over the next few weeks with Li is to remove all the emotional charge of looking at the donkey, horses, and people. I want him to ignore everything and everyone unless he is told to say hi...then he should go up and touch their hand with his nose. He does that on command with people he somewhat knows but now with strangers yet. I also want him to have a better recall when we are at home. He seems to have a good recall in public...probably because he is insecure.

I have to decided to build an A-Frame soon because they dog walk training is coming along so well. I have started working with my Sibe again! We are going to learn agility even though she is 5 years old. We worked on cik and cap tonight. I'll be training a good recall soon...that might take all winter. I hope we don't get heavy snow this year...that sucks for agility.
