Lesson 1 today - I'm exhausted and so 's Murphy!
We covered 'focus' and keeping our dogs attention, 'leave' (dropping treats and using the command) some recall, off lead amongst other dogs using 'leave' and murphy ate loads of sheep poo. Very good so far, my confidence has increased and they have shown me my bad habits (too tight a grip on the lead, not praising enough at the right time etc) but also identified that in order to hold Murphys focus, he's a dog that doesnt' respond well to lots of speaking, instead he responds if I'm almost silent and use hand commands only.
Really, really impressed so far - looking forward to next Sunday!
