Productive Week

Snaggle Tooth, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.

I had a good dog training week- partly due to the fact that I didn't have any classes to teach. :)

Scenthurdle was super, we are getting consistent scenting from all the regulars- which is awesome.
Obedience was good- I did a full run thru with each girl. Pixel's heeling was pretty good, although a tad wide. We need to work on our slow, and our figure eight was a bit choppy. Her stand was great, and she did both stays. Wicca was a wild woman, but she had been crated all during scent and was a little excited. She anticipated the retrieve over jump, and most of her finishes. Things she has never done before. And she went down on both sits.

I don't know why I torture myself. This battle with stay seems so stupid. Why won't she just stay? We've done it a thousand times, and she still doesn't get it. I know it's something I am doing, or have done. Maybe it's me who doesn't get it.

On a better training note- Pixel can shake a paw. Really. She is cute about it as she really doesn't want you to touch her foot...

Next week she is going to learn how to be "sad." A trick a week. And I'm only a week behind.

Going to do some training this weekend with the dogs too- hope to even get some agility in.
