Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. I know ours was fabulous. So grateful Jared was here, it was a memorable visit, long overdue, and absolutely delightful getting caught up. Sometimes, the best gifts are just time well spend with people you love that love you also.
Anyway, you both have made tremendous progress in training your dogs to retrieve on command. Here are the remaining lessons that need to be accomplished to graduate.
Lesson 14) Retrieve on the Flat (tossed retrieve not a placed retrieve), extend distance
Lesson 15) Chair Test (different from Stair Test)
Lesson 16) Retrieve over High Jump (RoHJ)
Graduation Party celebrating the RoF at extended distances, Rally run-thru, the HOLD game, the RoHJ, potluck and certificates of graduation. My goal is finish the last 3 lessons just before Christmas week, the Lord willing, get together on the 1st if possible for a Graduation Party.
Beginning tomorrow I will teach you the mechanics for the RoHJ as you'll work on that so by the time we get to Lesson 16 all the pieces are already in place. You and your dog graduate when your dog can do a RoF at extended distances of 30' & the RoHJ.
See you both tomorrow for class. So proud of Team Sophie and Team Riley - you all ROCK!
