Carpets look great!

He still loves his chair!

Much to my surprise all of the Red GA clay come out of the carpets. So you guessed it, Toby has been band from the areas of the house that has white carpet. Poor Toby, he gets to hang out in our huge kitchen when his paws are red.

Toby is doing great with his training. He has not zoomed in several weeks. I sure hope this keeps up. I was reading an article in clean run that talked about dogs that liked to run off and they said exactly what we did in class to stop his zooming. It works! I am still working on being able to work with him in the back yard. There are just too many distractions to let him off lead while working in the back yard. Maybe some day. Back to class, this week we worked on teeter, A-frame, and dog walk. Toby loves to hang out at the top of the teeter. I can't wait until I get to watch him ride it down! He is going to have the perfect teeter! The A-frame is going good. He hits the contact every time. I think that little incident at the park a couple of months ago may have taught him that it just doesn't pay to bail out early. Toby has an awesome dog walk! I on the other hand need to learn to keep my entire body out of the mix. When Toby is at the contact area I have been using my whole body to reward and treat him. No! it doesn't look pretty! And that is what I love about my instructor! She shows everyone just what they look like when running their dogs. What a rude awakening! So when we start competering I will look very graceful. LOL
