August 9, 2012


My mpg speaker arrived yesterday, and I tried it out today.  I used march music for both Belle and Dusty, but I ended up dubbing in the theme from Rawhide for Belle’s first session.

The MSDA Seminar group is working on heeling and attention this month, and when I went out that is what I fully intended to work on.  However, I ended up working each dog for too long and had to throw in some spins and such to reward them for the heelwork.

Points to Remember:

Keep pure heeling practice short and intense.  30-60seconds
Belle lags when we go slow.

Dusty doesn’t quite get spin and twirl when we are moving.  I must remember to keep my hand lower for him.

Dusty's rear flares out walking on either side of me; Belle's only flares out when she is on my right.
 
Have to mark all four corners so I don’t go off-camera.
