Lunch Training and Flower Picking


I went home at lunch and worked with Fly. I worked on the 1-2-3 Game. I am at Stage 3 and should start Stage 4 tonight. I can get Fly to sit and I can get back 25' before I say "Tug" and run. Fly has a good idea about sit means sit and stay. I have to be careful about attention span with any one game. We did assorted recalls from a sit to me standing or running facing both ways. I also Had Starbuck out in the yard talking to me as a good distraction. I also let fly get a drink while were out and do a small about of sniffing so I could call her to me. Head-up and rocket to me when I say "Come." Not high distraction maybe a 3 or 4 on Fly's list. We did a little targeting to my hand and to the paw disc. I was hot for us today so we played in the shade some. The grass needs to be mowed. It rained Sunday, mowing day and now the dandelions have pop up. Fly finds these fun to pick when allowed to run free. She can run right by them when we are working.

So many things to do when we are in the yard. My biggest thing to remember KEEP IT SHORT.
