Lately - well, let's be honest - most of the time, I feel like I'm lagging behind in my dog training. Susan Garrett would have her dogs speaking Mandarin Chinese by Cash's age! My teachers and local mentors would have their dogs all set to win their Working Trial Championships, Obedience Championships, and Agility Championships at Nationals this year right after try-outs for the World Team! LOL well, maybe not....
I spent this am showing the flag for our law firm at a boring video conference. However, it was the perfect opportunity to sit there and think while looking interested in the TV screen. I began to take notes. Or well, I began to make notes about my dog training. I listed every game/exercise/event/behavior that we practice now. Holy cow. I had no idea we were working on so much stuff!! And I began to see how these pieces fit together to build the more complex behaviors. That's what my obedience instructor told me to do - sit down and figure out how the small pieces build up to the Utility title.
Aha. Not there yet, but much closer than I was this morning.
