We worked primarily on teaching the dog how to stack after various moves (gaiting, about turn, down & back etc.). The focus was on making it fun so the dog is comfortable and happy to be working. Their theory is that happy sparkle will often be the difference in placements. There was also a section on conditioning.Riley and Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387032619267051944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219306108416794316.post-88501694652598301612012-01-13T23:44:58.242-08:002012-01-13T23:44:58.242-08:00Wow, just figured out how to reply to comments :o)...Wow, just figured out how to reply to comments :o).<br /><br />They didn't give any specific tips on how to let her know the difference but as she began to understand what I wanted I could then put the behaviour on cue. I think as I work it a bit more she will figure it out. The hand position is very different from a heel command so that helps too.Riley and Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387032619267051944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219306108416794316.post-33734785021515239632012-01-13T02:45:23.910-08:002012-01-13T02:45:23.910-08:00So what did you learn at your seminar? :)
Donna, ...So what did you learn at your seminar? :)<br /><br />Donna, I find my dogs differentiate sports quite easily. For one, they're on a 'show lead' for showing and I'm wearing fancy clothes. ;) Very different for them, plus the environment is pretty clear. (Dog shows are noisy! Dog trials are quiet, comparatively.)Teganhttp://leemakennels.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219306108416794316.post-26732369225047861662012-01-10T06:17:32.544-08:002012-01-10T06:17:32.544-08:00Sounds like you made it a super positive experienc...Sounds like you made it a super positive experience for your girl. Nice job. <br />Did they give you tips on how to let her know when you are doing obedience and when you are doing conformation? <br /><br />Sorry about that other woman, I hate to see stuff like that, and it seems like there is always ONE at every dog event. Good for you for giving her the old stink eye!Donna and the Dogshttp://www.donnaandthedogsblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
