Well, today was a fascinating day. Kim and Kara too.

First, I worked my dogs in the snow and 'Jump' and dog log walking.  That post is already up for your enjoyment.  

Then, it was Hannah's turn, what a great day of training we had together. Hannah's Week 6, Day 4 Saturday training day with Roxanne

And Kim texted me and joined me at IFA for some great 'on-the-spot' training time. Hannah was wiped out after nearly 3 hours with me, so I kenneled her in my warm truck, and she simply curled up and went to sleep pronto.

Kim and Kara had QUITE the training session at IFA. Not sure who was more fried, Kim or Kara?

So how did Quiet Time go with Kara, Kim?

2/24/22 Hannah/ Jessi

 Today as you know started the day at Roxanne’s. As everyone could tell Hannah has definitely excited to see Roxanne. She was just mesmerized with her and taking notes as Roxanne pointed out. 

We left and it sure was cold. So in doors I was thinking. Alvey lumber here we come. It was a good day walked into the store. She was little nervous/ excited. 

Hannah crane necking so heeled her about for good 20 mins and started are sit stay stand stay down stays. Pictures it was good day. 

Week 6 is uploaded

 Please note I have added several pages of other Week 5 posts that will help with a dog lagging or a dog that is either NOT doing AS's OR a dog that is consistently forging on AS's.

Good class today.

Week 4 tests 2nd try. Stand, down, approach by stranger

I know she never stood perfectly. we did manage 6 times around though. on the down it was hard to get up off floor with out her getting up with me. But we managed.

we were just leaving park and workman accross street helped with approch by stranger. not very good but it was a stranger and not some one she knew.

 

 

 

Another test attempt for Nellie for sit stay come

I had to download an app to delete all my duplicate photos, video, and music files from my hard drive, I couldn't get anything to upload to youtube anymore, my computer was frozen, there was no more storage. I was manually doing this it was taking all day. there were over 66000 files to go through for only 2 GIGs. And my battery kept dying. It's an old computer. Praise the Lord I am getting a new one in March. But timing-wise, it is frustrating to upload and get this training done and love upon my neglected husband too. 

 

Nellie on the elevated platform for stack stand and down stay at sunset,

Just killing my back trying to get this stack stand to go around thing down and Nellie breaks every time, she almost made two circles but was distracted and I couldn't do it anymore.

 

down stay sunset

left about turns 

Nellie's Left about turns, I start off all katty wumpus and mixed up as usual. But I think I get it down after I get warmed up after a few turns. Hopefully, by the end, this will work. 

 

Nellie sit stay come yes nose knee EF she was all jacked  up was hoping this would be the exam. she did really well on the way home the day before and Friday I should have video taped her in California she was perfect. But nooooooo she can't perform here tonight.

2-14-2022 Roxanne works Kara for Kim

Whew...after working Hannah for 2 hours, and it took WORK to get her to settle and pay attention, then Chonnie and I picked up Kara and I worked her. WHEW...it took repetitive countermove turns to convince Kara her best place to be was in heel position. Started with Downs and got 25 done.

Then onto a new location - the old theater on Main Street in Monroe Afterwards, we went to Bullie's for lunch. Kara is not used to doing QT at a picnic table as she never relaxed. But all in all, a very good training day.
