Training levels test day

Grey passed his level 2 downstay (Dog Downs and stays while partner walks 20' away and back. Partner may give extra cues while away. An official "return" is not required) and the level 2 distance (the dog goes around a pole from a distance of 2' with no more than two cues) today. Big yay to Grey!

So today was 7 days since we've had no more offlead running. We're doing lots of training in short bursts. Had a nice session this morning out on the pavement. But by this afternoon it was more stressful.

Other things we worked on was putting his sit on the whistle. I used a single short peep. He seemed to get it quite quickly, will test it out tomorrow.

Yesterday was a really busy day. Grey and I drove up north to get a new car. Was a long journey with lots of stops. He was quite reactive at each stop. I think he settles better in the new car as it doesn't have as much static electricity. Must go to bed now as v. tired.
