June 7

Over the weekend, we were at the WC/WCX test where Morgan went into water up to her elbows but wouldn't swim, even for a duck. We went to the building to train today for just a little while. We worked on heeling in a circle and stopping. We did figure 8's (big ones) and 270 degrees. We even did some tiny Rally style 270s and 360s. We worked on her stay for the recall. We worked on a fast recall. We also worked on the drop. Not bad for 15 minutes. I left my training bag in Caroline's motor home so we couldn't do anything with the dumbbell. I think I have some larger articles I can work with here at home.

Tomorrow, I start to fade the treats in heeling while I work on turns. The plan is to stop luring and give her a cookie at every sit and every turn. My physical therapy is progressing so that I am working on raising my are on my own. Maybe I will be able to actually do some things in agility and obedience by next week.
