Week 6
Twill is working on her distractions while other dogs are working. I am using her Bed Games on a mat to help her understanding while around distractions. I am careful to keep her under threshold to continue to work on her success and confidence of her job. I am also very careful to keep her 'accidental' introductions to other dogs limited to well mannered and socialized adults. I also spent these two weeks reviewing and refreshing the skills she's learned so far. To see the beginning stages of 'Bed Games' or it's also known as hot zone or hup it up, take a look in the bonus section Bed Games
This body awareness exercise is all about using different objects and rewarding your puppy for walking across them. You can use different objects all all shapes, sizes and textures. Let them think about each step and reward thoughtful behavior. Have fun and don't step in the 'hot lava'!
