RTH: recall to Heel; c/t: click and treat

That's what I mainly concentrated for my Jacks. I had a little course that consisted of 3 jumps, tunnel, AF, and table. The tunnel was stuffed inside the AF which would can discrimination issues like it did for Chloe at the last Wags n' Wiggles run thru.

I started with Chloe first and warmed her up with some flatwork starting from a walk to a trot and got her focused at me. I put her a sit-stay and took the lead off and so it began. Staying near heel, I walked and c/t when she followed correctly. She is not suppose to take an obstacle unless I pass the plane or tell her. Then I started to jog and create different paths and is doing perfectly fine. Never once did she go on the AF when I sent her to the tunnel and vice versa. Seems like she understood what obstacle I wanted. We ended on doing some teeter work where I am still working on a sliding teeter. Kind of funny that a 13 lb dog has to run almost to the end of the plank for it break.

Although it was a good session, her speed was not up to par and the only to get the speed what I wanted is to show her a toy. I hate using this as a crutch. Time to play with the dog without the toy. 

Scout's session was the same however, I decided to add in some weaves. He is very tuned into my motion. Over time, the tunnel started moving deeper inside the AF and he started refusing to get in by either jumping on the AF or stopping. For some reason he had to see the tunnel protruding from the AF. As we're doing RTH, I decide to start throwing some distance and sending him to jump and recall to heel and send him to the tunnel. I still have to babysit him when sending him to the tunnel so we're working on sends this week. Then we ended on teeter. He still isn't going as far I would like on the plank as he is stopping when it breaks. But for 6 months of training, he is doing the teeter faster than a lot of dogs that have been doing it for years. 

My clicker got a good workout and I guess I just keep out since my Yes has lots its value.
