Training!

I'm having a sudden inspiration this week training wise. Not that I don't always enjoy training but sometimes my interest wanes and frustration levels peak. But not that week!

Traveler was up first and his ever increasing love of his butt was put to the test with shaping a reverse leg weave. His love of flipping and twisting his butt around won over and we got the concept down in a day. Now just perfecting it, getting it smoother with more reps in between and while walking. Also working on cue discrimination and NOT throwing it at me randomly while we're walking.



Didgie on the other hand has been getting the fun stuff, Disc Dog! She's been learning along with me (I'm the much slower of the two of us). So far I'm trying to learn to throw a disc in a straight line and she's learning to catch them even when I throw them bad.

It's not a quiet feet, barking needs to happen during the whole thing and I'm still waiting for the neighbor to call out a window for use to shut up.


She's doing good though and I'm impressed! Next up is some leg weaves and learning to jump into my arms.

Hello!

First post of my not really new but kinda is blog.

So not really sure what to post in this so I'll just say hello, my name is Lindsey and my main goal in this is too keep a current blog to help me sort out thoughts, training, dogs, life, interests and what have you. Quality would be nice but isn't being promised.

These two will be staring in many of the posts:


The small one on the left is Didgeridoo (Didgie for short) and the one on the right is my boy Traveler. Both are Australian Koolies, both are evil (the small one being more so) and both are my world.
