So our 4th class on Saturday went pretty well, I think! We had fun, we worked more on touches and introduced leave it and boundry training. They both went well, infact leave it went a little too well... When I threw treats as her reward, she didn't want to get them, thinking she had to leave them. At this point she was definitely getting discouraged... So I just reached over and hand fed them to her. After this, she started to perk up again. (:
Karen (trainer) told me to just teach her a "get it" cue, which seems easy enough. Will be working on that and what we've been doing, of course. I'm also really going to town on the leg weaving! We're almost there, Ellie's doing so well.
After the class ended, we let the dogs off leash for some play time. Ellie's really gaining confidence, while she spent more time hanging with the people, she also played well with the other dogs! She actually played this time, too. We practiced recall during this time, and of course- great as always.
Have also done some some jump work these past days! Gah, she's doing so well, in the two sessions we've recently done, only one knocked bar.
We're going to possibly attend a Fun Run at DogLogic after our Saturday class! We'll probably just enter JWW and just skip the weaves.
