Tonight was Mason’s last class. He was soooo good! Everything we’ve been working on he did really well at, with the exception of the moving lay down. Those were really sloppy. We worked 1/2 the class off-lead and he never lost focus once. I’m going to bring him to Midas’s Rally class during the next round. Can’t wait.

I talked to the instructor about his lack of attention span outside and she said that I should treat him just like I do in class. With treats and everything. Not sure why I didn’t think of that myself before but I can’t wait until the weather gets nicer so that will be enjoyable for both of us. My only worry with Rally is that I’ve been training Midas on my left, Mason on my right. Now Mason’s at the point where he whips around to my right if he accidentally gets on the wrong side, but in Rally, he’s going to have to work on my left…not sure how to approach this quite yet.
