Gracie Training 10 - 14 weeks
Gracie's training is coming a long nicely. In the house we work "sit", "down", "free", "touch", "left", "right", "through" the legs, "crate", and "stand". I have started working crate games and also front paws on the blue disc to have her come to "close" and "side" while working the rear legs moving laterally in each direction.
I also work "get it" for the food and going to a target. She has also been exposed to the Velcro "lotus" ball.
In terms of agility specific exercises, we have worked the tire, the ramp on cinder blocks, the ramp propped up on the table, follow the handling, tunnel, and started offering the single wing jump.
In terms of training ideas, I am taking the puppy training online course through OneMind Dogs. In doing so, I recognize that I rushed through foundation with Frye and really should revisit some things.
In addition, Gracie has completed 2 of the 6 classes in the Puppy Star class series at RDOC. This purpose for me is to have her focus for 1 hour around other people and dogs while I ask her to do the commands she is learning to perform. In short, she has been the star of the class. She shows the most energy, the fastest mental processing, she stays focused throughout, and she is extremely confident in the building.
