I spent a really enjoyable morning with Kiros yesterday. We had a training session booked at NADTC and it was lovely to spend some time just with him. We did a lot of work on motivation and contacts, fast and fun.
Reno and I went to our first Puppy Class with Pen this morning. It was a bit of a shame that Sky was the only other puppy there (maybe because the class is normally on Saturdays) but Reno didn't seem to mind.
The class started with Reno and Sky running around, playing with each other and us recalling the puppies to us regularly, treating them and then letting them play again. Then moved onto some more formal recalls.
After that we did a little bit of heel work (On both sides, of course, to prepare for Agility) and onto some short stays.
To get him used to having Agility equipment about Pen "banged" the See-saw a few times, we encouraged him through a short tunnel and walked him over some poles on the ground. Then, with use of his clicker, he was encouraged to firstly step onto the plank with two paws, then four paws, then walk along it.
We finished off with starting to learn some hand touches to prepare him for target training.
We've got plenty of homework to be doing before our next lesson!!
