Review week 31 and Plan 32 All the time: People, harness, muzzle, touch-for-sniff, mat. - Review: A couple of small harness sessions - mostly keeping it from deteriorating further, but not much in the way of progress. Fine with looking at a person on their own balcony doing their own thing at a 20 m …

Journal Mid Week 26
August overview! (Tuesday Topic)
Ahem. Cutting, cutting, cutting. I never get as far as I want - and although there is merit to lofty goals, too lofty is just depressing and disappointing. So without further ado: Review July: Manners - Sit for leash is good. Sit for release, needs more work. Matwork needs loads more work. He is far …
Review the little 30, plan 31
Review week 30 and Plan 31 General review: Holy $%%&& it's hot!!!! Some bucket-splashing and river-play. Walks very early and very late. He slinks into his kennel under the stairs; back of the house, under ground, next to the mountain side. Or he lies on the cool tiles downstairs. Since those are probably the coldest …
After the break and a short week
Review week 29+ and Plan rest of week 30 I splash, you catch the wiggle-sticks (aka fish, though he didn't get much). The vacation was mostly that. We worked on sheep (scary!), cows (really scary - and potentially actually dangerous (well, the sheep too. Ewes protecting lambs, according to the farmer.)), being friendly (the farmer; …
Holiday wind-downs
Review week 28, plan week 29+ All the time: People, harness, muzzle, sit-for-leash (and release), touch-for-sniff, mat as needed. - Review: Touch for sniff is coming along; the life reward of doing stuff afterwards is reinforcing enough. Tried harness once, not as consistent this week what with the other stuff we've been working on. Sits …
Last of the diet

Rewiring family pathways
Review week 27, plan week 28 Well. This has been interesting. Unfortunately somewhat in the 'May you live in interesting times'-curse definition. His mummy-diet is affecting stuff all over the board. Training becomes a lot more complicated - since I have to both manage, tutor, motivate and instruct family members, the dog has to learn …

July overview! (and the first week)
There is absolutely merit to a month's plan, and I will continue with that. Since June ended up having one week's plan covering two weeks, we didn't get as far as I'd hoped in certain areas. I split up into Topics covering manners, obedience, rally and agility. Since the foundations often overlap, I have put …
