Session #9 March 10th

Okay, so this video is LONG, but I wanted you guys to see I really am trying to get her more motivated! (Not necessary to watch after the few jumps we do - just playing after that and I didn't want to stop to shut off the vid!) We played before and after our session, even after the cameras turned off. I need to find a happy medium between getting her really razzed up and then composing her enough to keep focused. I felt much better about her attitude this session... if she were a Chinese restaurant her name would be "HAPPY NOODLE!" LOL!

BAD dog trainer for treating with the wrong hand (couldn't get coordinated quickly enough when I went to kneel down) and I'm sure my moving release to the tug will get a NO-NO!! reminder, which it should, and no, she has never had a strong retrieve so you'll see us horse around a bit fumbling for the toy, but that's not as important.

This morning, we played around a bit when we woke up, then raced downstairs to the living room where we did 4 quick jumps then played some more. She was *BEAMING* and thought that was BIG FUN with the mama! What a great start to the day! Feel like we are more "on our way..." Thanks for watching!
