Days 38 and 39

After a helpful call with

yesterday, I have some new bits to work on for Kairo’s food drive and play skills.

Yesterday, we practiced our play skills and discovered something weird - Kairo’s toy play is much better outside. Possibly the extra space or grippier surface? Not sure.

Thanks to the advice from

@Holly Pearson

, Kairo’s source focus and contact heel are progressing nicely. I will film an update video soon!

Today, I think Kairo offered hard focus in her toy play (video attached).

@Nick Benger

, is this the kind of focus you would expect? It’s a bit hit and miss at the moment, so need to build consistency.

Plus, both dogs worked on their hoopers barrel cues. I’m impressed with how quickly Amigo has learned the cues for loose barrel turns. Kairo is working with distance and no arms, and it’s cool to see her little brain figuring it out.
