Booker
At agility class last night, Booker refused to hold a sit! At our class, the instructor lays out a course for the class to do, and we students have an opportunity to walk the course without our dogs to familiarize ourselves with the course. I had been leaving Booker in a “sit-stay” out of the way while I walked the course, and he had been really good staying for the entire time. I would come back once in a while to reward such a nice sit, of course. But last night, Booker was “running amok!” Breaking his sit-stay after only a few seconds.
Our instructor says that dog training is like that circus act with a performer balancing a dozen or more plates on sticks. Each behavior is a plate. Obviously, the sit behavior plate is wobbling. It will get extra attention today!
