Bo and Knox Week 3A Exam

 




Here is Knox’s first exam this week 3. We were running from one thing to the next (literally) and I didn’t realize Knox wasn’t wearing pants until I started filming and he pointed it out. 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ sorry, yes we do know better. 

None of this is perfect but it feels like progress. He loves to wiggle around in the stand but he is improving. 

Would love some suggestions on what to do when Knox does the Kiss/sit and Bo wants to take a step back before he sits. I told him tonight to pull him up before he “good sits” him and that seemed to help but 🤷🏻‍♀️

  2. Needed for Week 3 Body Bend Readiness Test:
    *Two + minutes of video including 5 Auto Sits (yes you can cue the dog with your Sit hand mechanics (no verbal),
    *Heeling pattern any which way you choose but mix it up and make it interesting for the dog,
    *Sit/Stay @ nose-to knees for 1 minute.
    *Do a Stand for 30 seconds as you continually also do the Relaxation Stroke

    All of the above is on one video. This was a good practice, but not a pass. If you will work Bo on a Front Place Board, faithfully, that Sit will be far better. He is collapsing rapidly on the Sit (like Navy and Summer) and I reshape and reshape and reshape that Sit into a good Tuck Sit so I can do the "Good Sit" praise. Even off leash, I work the Tuck Sit, in Heel position, constantly.

    Try again..
