So, some stupid idiot scheduled 12 trials on a Monday night. Never again. I never feel like working that hard the first day back to work for the week. Things are getting switched this week! Anyway, terrific practice. Charlie slowed down and lost focus on the last set (sit/stay with "Free dog" in between on leash), but he was getting hot and tired by then, and just plain lost focus after hearing "Free dog" The behavior itself was really good, jut the timing was off a bit. John came home early today, so Charlie's been outside all afternoon. However, not bad at all! A bit of backsliding in the eye contact with leash, too. I'd probably not be horribly focused if hot and tired. All and all, I'm very pleased with our session. Everything but sit/stay was under a minute at 10 attempts each trial. We also increased the stay time of the sit/stay pretty significantly. I think we're ready to really focus on SHORT healing sessions outside. He's getting darn good at staying with me.
