Obedience class night at K9.
Weather: Warm and humid, between 75-80 degrees
Worked on: Choose to heel, heeling close, fast accurate sits, fronts and sits with bringing her hind end up to meet the front, down without moving the fronts (the backs scootch back), accurate finishes using a cone to wrap the dog around, teaching the dog to scootch sideways with you while heeling (cone), and left turns using a cone to teach the dog to swing their butt out.  Also, sits and downs, and a motivated recall.
Details: Izzy was VERY attentive the whole class.  She had five weeks since her last training, and she remembered everthing.  Her heeling was excellent with minimal loss of focus.  She picked up the fast accurate sits quickly and loved the down work.  She also did the finish work really well.  She snapped at one other dog who got too close to her during work, but refocused on me quickly.  She also lost focus when other dogs got too close, but a quick "leave it" brought her right back.  Sits and Downs were excellent, she didn't break at all.

Daily training
Weather: Warm and Humid, storm brewing with a lot of thunder.  80 degrees plus
Worked on: Choose to heel, fast accurate sits, down without moving fronts, accurate finishes, scootching, left turns, long sit, recall, stand

Details: Izzy was pretty distracted in the front yard.  The neighbors chihuahua's were barking in their yard, and the other neighbors back yard dog was barking.  It took about ten minutes for her to really get into working.  Once she focused, she "chose to heel" beautifully.  She ignored the other dogs and oncoming traffic. We used the trees as cones from class.  The finish work I think will come quickly.  Stand is coming.  She got it a little confused about down and stand, but after a couple of repetitions, stand really clicked.
