Back to Training

After four Prolotherapy treatments we are now back to training. Yippee! Sidney is doing great! So pleased with how his training is coming along. Each morning and evening meal we have been working on a lightning fast down and down back. Also a lightning fast sit and sit back. Once he can do a down from a distance of 40 feet with a signal only, I'll teach him a drop on recall.

He loves the utility exercises. I just love his speed with gloves, go outs, and directed jumping. With articles, Sidney had a set back with not being able to train for four weeks. Now he is finally back where we were when we stopped training. All articles tied down (8 articles), and the one with my scent not tied down. Now I will start to untie the tied down articles one at a time.

He cracks me up. He loves to train. To get my attention, he will bring me toys, prance around with his Nylabone, and even lick my face relentlessly. Now how can I resist a dog who begs me to train him?
