Last night I wasn’t going to train and give Frank a night off and he turned into little action prompting monster haha. We put that energy into good use and worked on heel entry, orbits and switch for our last assignment (hopefully 😅) This morning Abby didn’t feel like a walk so it was me and Frank- double trouble team. Tried a water search with him and he nailed it. He’s such a good little sniffer dog. Attached a video if anyone is interested. Finished with little focus heel practice to celebrate (heel was more focused than camera but I call it artistic video haha) https://www.instagram.com/stories/thecoastaltails/3729829587429970110?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=MWo2Ymg1emd0bXNwdg==

Have a go on this @Jenna Owen Mae'r diwrnodau diwethaf wedi bod yn dda iawn gyda'r astur. Rwy'n hapus iawn bod hi'n ddiddorol iawn i'w hyfforddi. Mae hi'n mwy cymryd sylweddol. Mae hi'n cymryd cymdeithasau cymhleth, ond yn bwysig, mae hi'n cymryd hynny i mi gyda llawer o cymryd sylweddol ac yn eisiau bod gyda mi os ydy hi'n cymryd sylweddol. Gallwn wneud llawer mwy o gynhyrchiadau gyda'i ddiddorol. Mae hi'n dal i fod yn unig. Nid yw'n cymryd cymdeithasau cymryd sylweddol fel y byddwn yn ei wneud o'r blaen. Felly mae hyn yn cydnabod ein bod hi wedi cael rhywbeth ddiffyg gyda hi'n ddiweddar. Nid ydw i'n gwybod yn unig beth oedd hynny. Rwy'n meddwl ei fod yn ymwneud ag ymddygiad, ac yn ymwneud ag ystafell, ond nid ydw i'n gallu darparu hynny. Nid ydw i'n mynd i ddweud hynny. Rwy'n hapus iawn bod yr hyn sydd wedi mynd, ac os ydw i'n sylweddoli ei fod yn digwydd eto, byddwn i'n mynd allan i'r ffordd ddigwydd, neu gweld bod hi ddim yn ei ffeithiau gorau, ac i ddod yn ôl ychydig, a ddim i fy nghymryd fy hun, fod y cymorth yw fy ymrwymiad.

Getting into a good routine now of 15-30 mins every morning focusing on new/current focus then proofing out on walk in new environment no distractions ( or very few) then progressing it to distractions in controlled environment ( Nicks classes) Morning focus is building motivation for sendaway & for hoopers start. Continuing confidence challenge exercises - box feeding working on holding him back by harness - same target for hoopers. Making good progress with confidence so adding in lead communication which I plan to do on an evening inside. Continuing food chase games to build motivation for play & keep training fun. Need to do an end of month review to see where I need to focus/adapt Happy with progress & enjoying training 😁

I run human fitness classes twice a week and finished late last night, so we just had a good play instead of training. I have learned not to push it when I’m running late and tired and do something fun instead. This morning we had such a nice training session on the beach. Street heel was 🔥 I’m so happy that he’s aligned without using food lure or leash. Finished off with a SAT search in the dunes. I love this dog so so much. The drive he has for scentwork is next level! Celebrated with a dip in the ocean before big day of human work and dog snooze 😴🤣
