I forgot to write a blog about our exciting day of training on Sunday.  We saw some visible progress!!

We went to Pam's to do some work at her place.  It is always good to train in a variety of places, so the dogs know that they have to work everywhere.  We did some agilty and she did her normal great job.  She had some trouble with the metal ladder, but did a great job on the wooden one.  We'll start doing some horizontal work with the metal ladder until she gets comfortable with the feel of it.

We then went to work our directionals - the baseball diamond.  Juno had to run over to the barrel to see if there was anyone there.  Yippee!  A sign that she thinks this might be a fun game!!

She did a great job on directionals - a mini miracle.  (We went home and did them on Monday and she seemed to forget again.  Go to Pam's on Wed and she did fine.  Now what is that all about???

But, what I was most pleased about was that while she was barking at Pam in the bark barrel, a bird flew over.  She stopped barking, followed the bird with her eyes, and then barked again!!!  Pam gave her a fast reward at just the right time!  This is the first time she has given an indication that she might be able to work past a bird and that is a very good thing!!
