Training diary / 7th March a.m.

Field at Marshside.
Time: 8am.
Waited for calm before allowed out of car. Settled quite quickly. Lead in A-B style with hand on collar to the field. Waited for calm before released with 'your free'. He zoomed around for 34 secs before checking in for first time.
Did 5 x voluntary check ins with treats x 10. Last 3 check ins was really close and short time between each one. He stayed standing and didn't do the lying down thing to take treats which seemed an improvement.
Put on the harness and long line. Worked 'This Ways', much less hard running and only pinged on the line once. End of line released and did 5 x recalls and he did every single one. Yay! Got the toy out and he bounced off me once. Toy put away. Parked him and released him after check ins. Toy out again. waited nicely but excited. Couldn't get him to sit. Threw the toy 3x. First time had to walk the line. Second time he dropped it near me. Third time I walked the line and took it off him nicely. Walked quickly A-B style back to the car. Jumped into the back of the car with no lure.
Session length 34 mins.
No afternoon session as he went to kennels for the night.
