Have taped few clips of my shaping sessions. Good for taping, bad mechanics. I think for time being I will try to train with one dog only and crate second downstairs. Also am chatty too much still even if I am paying some attention to it. Dog is really not actively engaged in tugging so need to run more before offering brief tug.

run thru
Am upset with myself. Both boys have decent start line but our box work is serious hole. I DID NOT TRUST EITHER DOG not to bolt out of box or change position and as a results was very late on front cross with Che- sorry buddy, mommy messed it up.
Leo blew entrance to the weaves-,still no sure of his independence- need some more work on it.
Have sat on run thru watching others. some better than others, seen few mistakes I do too. Talked to Marianne today, tired of seeing her messing up that RC with her pup. Do not know if it will do her any good- can I teach people? Couple people at class nice bu clueless, have high energy dogs, both dogs have same pattern- run wild, have zoomies after each obstacle yet handler continues to send then to next obstacle. I want to ask them- why do the continue to build crap on crap... get crappy response on one obstacle and then send their dog as a reward to the next... they really need to stop chaining obstacles, return back to shaping single obstacles with responses they want and ONLY then allowing dog to the perform 2 obstacles in the row. Hate to see them in beginners forever but do not see how they can work it otherwise. Doubt I can be nice explaining that though... so just shut up?
Tried recording myself today at shaping session boy do I suck! Why the heck I am so cheerleading? Pls stop me.
Am working on making routine with Che on transition in and out of the run. VERY IMPORTANT. need to do better. Dennis was running before me, asked to hold Kelly- I think I glared at him nasty. I know it is not his fault that I can not explain that I need to work with Che and figure out routine. First run Che was distracted in teh beginning so whatever I did he was not focused. Second run, yeah we had two- Che was looking at Sammy leaving, again, not focused. Great feedback buddy. Some day I am hoping to be a number uno in your life and that is when we can compete...
Both boys we need that D of the DASH upped up... shall I make a necklace of live squirrel for the runs?

puppy training
Have been shaping puppy today. What a fun thing to do! Coallie is most receptive pup. Few things noted- he was offering various behaviors, sit, down, back up then stopped and started barking in frustration-gotcha! Made him work through that. He also does not want to tug in presence of the food anymore- bad sign. better up that excitment.
