Just Wow

I have been working on the Brilliant Recall E-Course with Susan Garrett since the first of August. The homework has done amazing things with Fly and especially with Starbuck. Last night I did some rally practice with Starbuck. He was glued to my side or where he was suppose to be. He has focused on me so strong. We normally do the equivalent of one course and he has enough. Last night we kept going and going and he was loving it. This morning I took him for a walk on his long line(50'), still don't trust him. The dogs next door came to the fence and started carrying on. He headed over to check it out. I called him and he turned and came right back to me and even better he park himself at my side in the Reward Zone. I had no treats (opps) but he loves being rubbed and patted real hard as he rolls in the dirt. He got a good reward and we both had a big party right then. I also took my puppy out and she is on a 6' lead in case I need to catch her. She got to run and again the dogs next door started in their noisy things. She ran along the fence with them until I called and she came right away. Tugging is her top reward. I let her run again a few more times and when she was involved in something other than me I called and she came. I have had a bit of trouble when I call her she locks on me, sits and waits for something. Today she came. We need to tighten up the position in the reward zone, but it has moved from out front to my side. All where at distances over 100'. Oh what fun we are having!
