Took Jack out for a walk and threw in some training with his leash work. I had previously attended a private session with where we learnt proper corrections and techniques to keep him in a proper heel during walks. I fell off the wagon with his training due to my dad passing away so he lacked any intense training since April last year. This actually was a learning experience as it showed that just because you trained your dog to sit once or twice doesn't mean that he will remember it after 10 months has past with no repetitive training. It goes out the door and no matter how many times you repeat the command the dog will not comprehend!
Though on our walk today it did show me that Jack's brain 🧠 is amazing in recognising an old pattern (if that's possible!). As he picked up the heel position almost immediately with as little corrections needed between our house and the footy field that we visit. I am happy with how he is progressing and look forward to continuing this path in connecting with my dog and building a strong bond 💪 ❤
