Thread: Your Training schedule

Just working on him stopping/sitting on the whistle and turning on the whistle command. Also the recall while he's on the long line and I can haul him in.

He has got into a habit of playing 'chicken' with me and hurtling past very close at great speed. I was told last weekend to stick my foot out and he wouldn't run into it. He did and his face connected with my outstretched foot. He hasn't done it since though

The biggest success I have had this week is not having the dogs screaming with excitment or having dogs bounce several feet in the air as they see me approach the runs. They are finally back out there again - and that is a story in itself (complaining neighbours - fortunately they have left).

The 'OI' worked quite well with me refusing to move until they had settled down but tonight I went out there armed with a water bottle. Two squirts and no problems. I just hope they have been quiet during the day as they are when I am home and they're locked up. I did tell the neighbours to let me know if there was any noise and a loud 'OI' should shut Steel up. Fingers crossed.
