Today Riley started with Longe Line. A ball was thrown around her for distraction and to make her make choices of whether or not to go after it or stay with handler. It took a bit but she finally started to make good choices and really think about what she needed to do. Jessi and I were able to complete two - week 1 exams. After testing, Riley worked on short leash doing right turns, left turns, right about turns, halts and sit stays. Riley is starting to have more frequent times of paying attention to handler.

ReplyDeleteDistractions are a major hurdle for most dogs.
ReplyDeleteThat is why we train against them, because then the dog learns self-control.
