River is 7 months old and I've done quite a bit of foundation work with him on my own. Lucky for him he's my second dog; Ruby has had to go through a lot of re-training as we had some holes in her foundation, so to speak. We did Ann Braue's Puppy Agility Camp and I've taken a few privates with my current instructor, Dana Pike, and split them between River and Ruby. We train at For Your Canine in Schiller Park, IL - near O'Hare Airport. Most of the stuff I've learned is from my great instructors (Ann and Dana): Positioning on a travel plank, one jump exercises (call to heel) and Clicker training, also did Crate Games with him. It's amazing what you can teach an operant conditioned dog. He's just a wicked smart little puppy. Your aussie is really cute. I have a friend that has a bunch she runs in agility. Great dogs!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534381117860892250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051576572400882152.post-87538950328590663772009-01-28T12:22:00.000-08:002009-01-28T12:22:00.000-08:00Wow!
