Back to Work

Now that Fly had a "Junk Food" day we got back to focus in the evening and this morning. Fly has a solid sit when she she sees the tug toy. Tonight I will add the cue "Sit" and see how that goes. The hand targeting is going great too. I need to find a disc to now move from my hand to the ground. I have been very happy with the house breaking. She goes outside on command off lease right now. Fly has her place. I now need to add the lease and see if I can still get the "Go Potty" command to work. Well this is how it is going and the red stuff is what we need to focus on. This is along with playing in the rocky coaster and time to add some new obstacles to play on and get the whole dog involved.
Where we are in Training

1. Game #1 Attention - rapid fire now with treats. She look to me now a lot.
   
2. Game #2 Tug - solid - she loves it and will break from anything I have distracted her with to play tug. I need to add a "Tug" cue.
   
3. Game #3 Smoke Ya - Fly loves the chase and has picked up on the correct side, I need to confirm she is making the side decision and not me.
4. Game #4 Sit, Tug - Wow is this ever solid. As soon as the tug toy appears the butt hits the ground. I need to add the "Sit" cue to this now.
5. Game #5 - Smack da Baby - This only makes the tug game a whole lot more fun. Fly loves it!
6. Game #6 - The Out Release - I need to start this. I made one attempt and Fly didn't even notice the food or I had stopped and then there was another distraction I had to attend to. I need to get this started.
7. Game #7 - Come - This takes someone to play with us. I have been doing 5' - 10' stationary. I need to add the run into the game and do more. We may have 15 -20 tries at this and it has been real successful so far.
8. Game #8 - 1-2-3 Tug - Time to start this. Fly sits and waits now till the tug comes down to her so we can start to grow the waiting time now with a count to "Tug".
9. Game #9 - Hand Targets - We have had three great hand target sessions. I have used 100% food reward with clicks. I have had success with both hands. This is a fun game! I need to find a target and progress to a disc.

I am very happy for two weeks of progress. Since I am going to be gone a week I want a set of things for Spark and Ana to practice with Fly while I am gone. No bad habit s need to start.
