Well,yesterday I learned how to lay a track and to show D how to run that track,I think I will do that 3 or 4 times a day with him.He flubbed all but one of his obidiance commands when I was showing the trainer.He has never worked around other dogs or peole,so when he TRIES to do it,he wants to play instead of work,so he is not allowed to play with the other dogs in the park from now on.He HAS to learn to ignore them.I am to go back to the reward after EVERY good command.He was sent home with a toy made from the smae stuff bite sleeves are made with.THAT part he loves,lol.I know he will do good with the bite work,lol.He is doing good at holding the dumbell,he is up to about 4 seconds of hold while sitting.He has a long road ahead with this training..I hope I am up for it!!
