Today we started the 1-2-3-Break Game. This game is designed to build excitement with self-control at the start line. We are hopeful that soon this game will transfer for Devyn to the agility ring. This would allow us to take her off leash and practice a lead out before playing tug.
MeiLi has always enjoyed tugging. She will tug with the other dogs or with us. You can see she really wants to play. She is just learning this game and her stay was a bit weak at this point. We will continue to play this one to build up more self-control at the start. I would really like to have a solid start line with her.
Devyn has always tugged with her sister but has just recently started getting into it with us. We think this is going to be a big break through toward gaining more focus in the ring. As you can see, she is very into the game. This is clearly building some self-control while waiting for the release and a ton of drive to come to us.
