I started with Scout first and I had to completely start over from the end of the ramp all the way back. I had to divide each section into fourths thus you're looking at 1/12 for the total obstacle. It was very tedious because he would not hold his 2o2o when we switched sides. In fact, he was cheating by getting the treat and then pulling off the ramp. This is where I wanted the Manners Minder so much since I don't train with another person and I really wish I did as it would save me $100! The farther I was the more he broke the behavior.With the MM, I can remotely dispense the treat.

I am going to have to get back to the 2o2o training where we do it everyday like I did with Chloe in the beginning. I moved way too fast for him and since we had a communication problem on what I wanted - remember he doesn't want to go past my knee - I am going go back to teaching him more tricks so he understands how to learn better. I'll probably teach him the same stuff I taught Chloe and have them do it syncronized for the camera. You can see Chloe think alot while Scout just does it. I prefer Scout's behavior for drive but I prefer Chloe's method for learning. Having a thinker does give you a softer dog but its a wiser dog to a point IMHO.

I have noticed after 4-6 attempts, you can see Scout getting confused as his tail would drop and his head would drop. So I changed direction quickly for quick success or just play with him. He is a high drive dog no doubt but that can lead to a lot of frustration in training. In comparison, it takes Chloe less than half those attempts for her to show those signs.

We managed to get 6 feet away from the dog walk with me on each side and he was doing it but he was breaking the 2o2o. I can look at this way, I broke the velcro strap at me kneecap! Afterwards, we played fetch for a bit and then ran the same sequence since it was left up from yesterday and the concluded his session. 

Chloe's session went faster because she knew the game; bait plate, food, 2o2o, but can she go more than the full distance of the dog walk? She would make 15-20' and just look back compared to Scout, he goes up 5'. I broke each ramp into thirds for the entry and exit ramps and half at the center section. She ran on every attempt and held her 2o2o. She looks funny when she is some 50' away from you. With such success and me being the ambitious type, I sent her through the tunnel to the DW and she nailed it! Then I added a jump, tunnel and then to DW. And the last one was that I added a table that I sent her to the tunnel with a jump in between to the DW. She nailed it everytime. So now I need to fine tune or proof it and get it faster. Now, the DW is still at 18" and I'll probably have it at full height (48") by the end of the week. And I also need to start timing it. I hope its under 2 seconds!
