FC Week 9 & 10 are uploaded.

The homework and EXAM for both weeks is the same, AKC run-thru's. And I have created the Retrieve Course new section. Not sure if we'll keep this RC on this Blog or if I'm creating a New Blog based on other students joining. We'll see how it plays out. Roxanne

9-20-22 Tech Savvy Course

 I updated the Tech Savvy Course so all that information is available. Please note that I have uploaded the TS Lessons through Lesson 2 as that is where Ruth is right now.

I will begin her TS Lesson 3, the Utility Turn'n'Sit ONLY after she passes her FC Week 10 Novice EXAM. Why? Because introducing the Utility Turn'n'Sit to a dog still in FC undermines a learning dogs understanding of "Stand" and the Stand for Exam. So, I wait to teach that concept till a dog graduates from the FOUNDATION Course.

Ruth is 6 months old today. AND SHE PASSED HER WEEK 8 EXAM BEAUTIFULLY THIS MORNING.

 Here are some of Ruth's training this morning.  

I had Loni/Shadow present for a lesson on Polishing and Preparation for her upcoming obedience trials this weekend.  And Loni needed to do a FC Week 10 run-through for Tony Ancheta as she's in his current ISTA Course.

So, it was a perfect new location and space to train both Loni (as Shadow her GSD is fabulous, just Loni needs work for the ring) and for me to train Ruth.  I opted to do part of her upcoming Week 9 AKC BN (Beginner Novice) work as part of her training this morning.  

So, here's the first session.

 

 Then we did her Week 8 EXAM Walk-Away 100 yard Sit/Stay.  

 Time for her AKC Week 9/10 EXAM work  

 Ruth rested while I worked with Loni. Then I used her to demonstrate how to fix a few common errors

Well, did Ruth retain or lose her understanding of FC obedience training while I was gone?
