De's Training Update....

Demon's been on the ruff love program for just over two weeks now. He's taken to it really well and is giving me all his attention in most situations now and works nicely. When i take my puppy class at sutton i still take de along as he tends to settle in the corner and no-one bothers him. We do some work outside with the bronze and silver groups with me and de slipping off to the side either when i think he's not focusing right or if i choose to do a differnt excercise. We've been training his send aways quite a bit just because to my surprise he loves this excercise alot!!! I've tried all sorts with him from me running part way to speed him up, to sending him on his own....i tend to put him back on a long line at least once at the start of the lesson because i always think he'll of forgotten but he deff knows what he's doing. I've used the little flower pots and flags so far. At the min i've been doin it so that he runs between two front markers and to a back one, and my god he likes it lol. His heel-work is coming on now slowy but it's coming on so i happy with it.
The only other thing we've been doin is learning tricks, he can nearly get three feet in a container now lol but he aint to sure about it. He holds his back left leg up on command and he walks back wards and lifts his two back legs up on to boxes and on to the sofa lol :)
I haven't done any directional work in agility with him as yet since about a month ago because he just lost concentration in me for a while so wanted to sort that first before that he was doing his lefts and rights and his bend and wraps ( tight turns round wings) Although i have been doing his contacts at the bottom of the A-frame which he can do nicely.
Gotta go now got three kids running riot round the house and de's looking at me as if to say "please mum let me herd them". Oh that's the other thing i've noticed he's become very herdy these past weeks and he crouches dead low lol and then pounces...which i mite add... my little girl finds very funny :)
Will try and get some vids although i cant manage to convert them atm :(
