Devyn Backyard Training 8-7-23

Devyn had her turn working the serps and threadles in the backyard today as well. She worked very well and tries to please me every run. Her threadle was much better than I expected. She knocked a couple of bars but that does not really concern me at all with her. I am much more concerned with her focus on my directions and her willingness to try and desire to please. I look forward to

Devyn Class 8-1-23

Today was all about showing up. I have a bum knee and really did not “feel” like going to class. But both pups look forward to their training time with Dad and I knew that there were skills that I really needed to work on that could be done without much movement. Besides you never know when you might get to a big event and have something limit your ability to run. The warm-up run

Her start line and focus on the start of the runs continues to be an issue. Perhaps part of the issue is on my part of not giving every command needed and assuming she is going to do what I expect. we will need

DEVYN CLASS 7-18-23

Today Devyn had another great day at class. She is getting very comfortable in the building waiting for her class and has much more confidence running in the ring. I am able to maneuver around the building and into the ring as needed without her reacting to anything. She still has a little to say when headed toward the crowd in the middle of the run but as you will see she did get over

DEVYN DOES CLASS WITH DARRYL JULY 11, 2023

We decided Devyn needed to be exposed to some more distractions by doing a group class. The private lessons Kristen has been doing are great, but she still needs to learn that self-control and confidence around others. This was the second week of this class. I did not video the first week as I really wanted to remain focused on Devyn. It is a very nice set up as there is a class between MeiLi’s
