Everyday, Echo gets in the pond, lays down in the water and blows bubbles
Think we could do competition obedience? Maybe schutzhund?

Working with Rumor on some obedience for a tug reward
Rumor and her favorite friend, Sophie the frenchie. Rumor is such a gentle and passive player. Even Sophie knocks her over sometimes
Some clips of Sophie from last week.
For Rocky’s owner (1/31-2/06 assignment)
Practice this short routine in different environments and with varying levels of distraction.
-Feel free to guide Rocky into a down until he learns to reliably obey the hand signal and verbal cue.
-Practice on-leash so that you can reinforce each command as need
-OK to use a food lure for focused heeling and getting into the Here position. All other commands do not require food lures. You may reward with a treat for Here, Heel, Down, & Come, but try to wean off the treats in low-distraction environments. No treats allowed for Sit.
-Be sure that when walk away from him in a Down, that you do not use the word “stay”, instead just calmly remind “good down”. When you get about 10’ away, turn around, breathe, stand up straight and remind him once again “good down”....Then, you can call tell him to come to you. He doesn’t have to sit in front of you, but he must show you his beautiful eye contact.

Meeka's first day on HRD. Pretty impressive. Still learning the sequence with the auto-reward system, but she's getting the hang of it quickly.
