Sorry for the lack of videos lately - I promise we’ve been practicing daily, just haven’t had a chance to set the camera up. In the meantime, I do have a question: Kairo’s first obedience competition is coming up this weekend, and I’m planning to ask for a training round. This means that we’ll be able to bring a toy into the ring and reward during/between exercises. How would you recommend using play to give Kairo the best experience in the ring? Would you play at the start, before asking for any behaviours? During the exercises themselves, would you break it down and reward more often, e.g. every few steps in heelwork? For context, the exercises are: - Heel on lead - Novice recall - Heel free - Retrieve But I think I’ll ask to only do one set of heelwork and skip the retrieve this time. @Alex Lato

Seem to be short on time lately so not had time to film but have continued with daily games. Rewatched confidence videos from classroom @Alex Lato love the name game for recall ❤️ - I can see this is going to work really well for faster recall with Freddie. I need to do a review of where I am at & what my next steps are so I have clear criteria to progress.

Just for comparison to Tokaji’s Session :)

@Alex Lato so this is some of the obedience we do around food, ie recalling away from food when stationary, recalling away from food after been released to it, positioning facing away from food (this is the toughest to date for him). Not our sleekest session but still you can see some of our exercises and hopefully provide me with some pointers for improvement :)

Please introduce yourself to everyone (and me if we meet for the first time☺️) - tell us - Who are you? - what dog/dogs you have? Don't forget to post photo of you and your dog/dogs! - What are you mainly working on right now? - What would you like to learn here? This is live course so it will be adjusted to your specific needs!
