It’s drizzly and cold today (about 45 degrees F) so I took Laev out and practiced heeling in the rain, downing on wet gravel and sitting in the mud. We were using a tug as a reward, so she was fine with all of it. 🙂 But I want her to be comfortable working even in icky environmental conditions.
Then we went into my training building and starting playing with weave poles. I’m trying out Susan Garrett‘s 2×2 method for the first time; we’ll see how it goes! We got through step three today, with Laev finding the entry between two off-set poles.
Trained… CHICKENS?????
/laugh/ why yes, I have. See for a short music video I made to exercise the right half of my brain while the left half trained chickens for 100 hours or so….Seriously, Bob Bailey is a fantastic trainer and instructor.
