Slacking
We didn't train much last night, as I was just too tired. I did have Charlie go out and "find" 10 treats. I placed 10 treats in different locations in the yard. He's getting really good at this. I've been increasing the distance where I stand away from the treat. We were last at ~4 feet. I'd look and point at the treat. We went out, and I didn't even have a chance to point. He actually followed my footsteps to the first treat. The next few, I pointed. However, in one other case, he found my footsteps and followed them to the next treat over, and then came back to the one I pointed at. Next time, I'll plan on pointing them out in order of placement to see if he even needs help. I may be seriously underestimating this dog.
