Jan 18 session two

Kitchen/hallway. Orijen kibble. Alternated dogs.

Caiman
20x - db at mid-shin. 1x he didn't raise his head (about rep 5). I waited, he dropped db on my toe. Said "ouch!", picked it up, held behind back for several sec. and then retried. No other probs.

Kona
20x - LT around island. C/t for swinging his butt around.

Caiman
20x - db held just over toes. 2x errors in a row around rep 10 but no other probs.
1. Dropped db. Recued "take it" and he picked it up and raised head nicely.
2. Downed while taking db. Cued "sit", he did, and raised head nicely.

Kona
20x - L U-turns in the hallway

Caiman
20x - db on floor in front of my toes. Too big an increment - he had real problems with first three reps - multiple ignored cues (physical & verbal), lots of whining and attempted eye contact. Waiting him out didn't work but eventually got him to pick up the db each time. Next 17 reps went smoothly - almost rapid fire - although he was standing and I didn't ask for a sit.

Kona
20x - repeat prev.

Caiman
20x - repeat prev. All good. Next time ask for sits again.
