I spent day yesterday really working on recall games. This morning again I worked with Fly on recalls. It is going great. I did find a big distraction that didn't happen right away - I cleaned the fridge last night and the garbage bag was very tempting. I called and no response but as soon as I turned and walked away I had a little dog at my side.
It is so fun to sit your dog and then move off while she waits and then call her or call her and run and then play super tug! I hate having to leave her in the kennel and go to work. I would like to do more short sessions but I am keeping aware to not go long.

Fly and Me
Our Training Journey
Where I came from.
I was born in Bonham, Texas.
My mom is Charlie and my Dad is Haze. Becky Edwards and her family raised me. I was first named Jazz but Dianne and Steve named me Fly. When I was only a few weeks old I helped Becky's daughter do her homework. She read to me and my brothers and sisters while sitting in the whelping box.

Training
Fly and I are going to learning agility together. I have been studying to get ready for her. We are following Susan Garrett's books and videos.
1. Shaping Success, The Education of an Unlikely Champion
2. Ruff Love, A Relationship Building Program for You and Your Dog
3. Crate Games, DVD
I will get more of her training books and DVD's soon. I am going to get a good base on my dog.

I have learned so much here. Great online classes. I know dog training on lone souds weird but it works great. An hour class is almost a waste for me. Fly works great and learns for about 5 minutes at a time. Training this way we go out and play(train) 5 times a day for short bursts, 5 minutes and gain more that way.
Susan Salo - for jumping http://jumpdogs.com/ get her videos and build jump grids into regular training. You can get her videos at Clean Run http://www.cleanrun.com/
Greg Derrett for foundation and Handling training. He has videos at Clean Run http://www.cleanrun.com/ and online classes. Online stuff http://ultimateagility.com/

Dog Prayers
Dog's Prayer
Lord please let me be the person my dog thinks I am
The Border Collie Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I’ll spend the evening counting sheep.
I hope I see the morning light.
So I can herd everything in sight.
