Can I just say how much I love this little dog?
She's so ridiculous. Her favorite piece of equipment? The teeter. Why? Because she loves the way it bangs! She rides it down and when it hits the floor she starts furiously wagging her tail.
And her focus has become so much better. We have been putting in some work on ritual building and now when the leash comes of she is able to stay with me and work with me until I let her know we're done. She decided to go exploring twice today during our lesson, and both times when I asked her to refocus, she ran back and did. A couple weeks ago, I actually had to leave the ring to get any kind of response from her at our lesson. Today she was able to run the dogwalk, come off my release into a heel to get back to the start, and run it again. And again. And again. And it was awesome.
Everything is coming together for us, and I just can't wait to see where we go!
