Well, I really thought I had written and posted about this already. I guess I only did it in my head. Hence another good reason for keeping this blog... To keep track of what I actually have worked on and keep a record of what I want to work on.
It's been so cold here lately, the girls haven't had much outside exercise. We've been doing lots of playing in the house and mini training sessions. The only one I really felt worth mentioning (and keeping track of) was when we worked on their group stays.
Now, I wasn't sure how it was going to work. But since they already have a pretty much group sit (for cookies!). I decided to try a group stay. They all do a fairly well "front", with or without a lure. So, I practiced "front" and managed to line them up side by side. They held their stay for about a minute with me standing nearby. That was good I thought.
Then I decided to work on my being able to move about a bit. So, I lined them up and would do some jumping jacks and/or spins before releasing them. Unfortunately, the last dog was anticipating and getting up before being released. I'm not quite sure how to fix that. I might just need to cheat that a little and give a "group" release.
