Today was fun. We started with some radius training along the driveway. He only needed 2 corrections in a half hour. His collar ran out of batteries and needed to charge for a few hours. We spent sometime in the house working on Place Mat and had good workouts with major distractions (a dog friendly barn cat decided to visit us and tried to say hello to Wally and Wally showed very good self restraint). I had to spend more time in town today than I anticipated but we should be able to get at least one more work out done while the daylight lasts.
We haven't had to use a physical leash for the past few days. He is actually defaulting to a heel position if he has any question in his mind about what he is supposed to do. Once today we were walking down the driveway and I had to holler at Kylie who was being naughty and Wally (who was trotting happily about 20 feet ahead of me) stopped and actually walked/hopped backwards until he was in the heel position. He got a hug for that because he wasn't even in a command at the time.
I am having so much fun with this little guy!
