Dream Weaver Dalmatians

I thought it would be fun to start blogging about Laci's training! Right now, she is enrolled in a "Puppy Prep" class at Jumpstart Dog Sports to get her ready for her future performance career and we are also continually training for her upcoming show career. Laci is so much fun to work with...she is smart, energetic and very enthusiastic!!!

Her breeder, Carrie Jordan, let me borrow her set of Happy Legs to help Laci learn how to stack.  I try to work with her on them at least once a day and she gets all excited when I take them out and start setting them up! They are really helping her learn to keep her feet still...and we are also working on her learning to let me bring the bait to her...not her reaching out to grab the bait. That part is hard for her! LOL!!! She IS doing great with the wating part though...I got up to the count of five today...which is HUGE! LOL!!!! Ok, so here are the pix. You can see how it looks like she is up on pedestals...those are very strong magnets and you set them up inside the box which is lined with metal.

Here she is getting the bait:

and here she is waiting......notice that she is still stretching her neck out trying to get the bait...she should not be doing that but we are working on it! She is keeping her feet still and having fun!!!!!
