@Matt Poulter ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Willow and Aster would get on a treat then
Days 309 and 310: Rest, Recovery and Release Work
Aster has been doing a lot of enforced resting, which luckily for her is extremely easy. I don't know how people with incredibly high drive dogs manage in these situations. I remember seeing a post by the ModernMalinois guy (I really loved his content but I don't think he does much anymore which is a shame) on his training of rest days which he builds into his schedule as a must. I got to say I have it easy, although she is still trying to play and get excited when I stand up to stretch or go for a wander between working... We've done a few very low energy reps of leash pop focus and indications and whatnot, which has been good. I have also looked up and contacted a couple of physios as I would like to have Aster looked at more routinely. I spent a long time last night just giving her a good massage myself, using some fascial release work on her hind leg and around her hindquarters. She absolutely loved it, loads of yawns and squidgy eyed looks. A lot of muscle twitching happening and "disco leg" - quite a lot going on. I also did some tail pulls/bounces as I think this is a very tight area for her too. She is definitely better today on it today. We have a way to go but she's putting more weight on it. I really hope she is OK for the meet up this weekend!

278-281 - focusing in on the little things!
So sorry not to make the meet this evening! Now feel like I missed out! Fill me in if you can! I was cooking with my daughter and making tea for everyone to catch up! My focus has been the little things, someone said what you allow/put up with is your standard and it made me think about the little things! So we are working on not bouncing at the cupboard when I get her food in the morning! I tend to put up with the bounce as she then lies on the floor while I make her meal! Instead we are getting the down straight away rather than after bouncing! If she bounces the food goes back and we try again in a few minutes. When someone knocks on the door she has to get on the bottom step and stay there. Iโ€™m sharpening up not moving until released even if itโ€™s one of the kids coming in! Sheโ€™s pretty good but sometimes moves before I say and Iโ€™ve not been as strict as I could be! We will be picking a few things and focusing on sharpening the manners!
