Stitch's Blog and Landry

Where Stitch is at 13 Weeks:

  • Distance (2' around pole)
  • Go to Mat (5', 2 cues)
  • Target (end of stick)
  • Watch (10 sec, 2 cues)
  • Zen (5 secs off hand, 10 secs off platform)
  • Sit (1 cue, no treats)
  • Down (1 cue, no treats)
  • DownStay (20' out and back)
  • SitStay (20' out and back)
  • Stand (2 cues only - eeuuww)
  • Trick (choice)
She's retrieving (retrieve becomes bringing it back), has acquired bite inhibition, nail clippers and grooming, dumbell (quiet mouth on the bar and a 3 - 6 sec hold).

Time for me and for Dale to be keeping up to date w/the Blog. It's a wonderful training plan and Landry is more than capable. He has passed Level 1 and we are already adding both Distance and Duration. Just need to get back on track and organized.

Dale and I need to get back on a weekly mentoring schedule, just the same as when we were working with Dale and Lily.
