Last night they gave me the go ahead to enroll Bruce in Advanced Beginners instead of retaking Beginners or taking Manners
Congrats!! That's great news!
At home I'm trying to practice with fewer treats and use them only as a reward, not as bait, with my left hand pulled into my tummy.
That's great news, too! It can be a funny transition sometimes, so stick with it
And if they haven't already mentioned...When my left hand is at my waist, my right arm swings smoothly in sync with my left foot so they go forward and backward together. It's a perfectly natural thing that can sometimes become perfectly unnatural when your arms are not both swinging freely.
What that does, is helps both of you keep your rythym, and cues the dog to turns, pace changes and halts.
Have fun in advanced!
