Even though it was pouring down I went to the training. It’s crucial that dogs learn to work under different circumstances and a little rain won’t kill us.
However, one of the girls took pictures and you can see that we’ve made some huge progress. I know that we could probably be a lot better already but since he first had to learn how to play, all the socialization, and tons of other work in between, I am taking it slow. We have all the time in the world and taking it slower is sometimes better. Especially in Yukons case.

Anyhow, check this out. That picture was taken last summer which was almost a year ago.

And this one was taken today. As you can see Yukon has a much better focus on me and the way I am holding my body has changed completely. We both are much more confident in ourselves. I am literally taking Babysteps.

Big difference, huh?

Anyhow, here are some more pics from todays training session.

Good boy! It is very important that they get a reward when they have done a good job. Besides the clicker and the treats I use a rope to reward him. Sometimes a big ball that he can’t swallow. There’s been to many horror stories about dogs that swallowed their ball and passed painfully away.
