Tug Drive

I’ve been working hard on Dylan’s tug drive and ball obsession since the Rocket Relay seminar. Not making huge progress on the ball obsession, but it’s getting better. I’m finding it a little difficult at the moment as I’ve got a 6ft square to work in and it’s a bit tight! A couple of times, Dylan or I have knocked the dead ball whilst he’s tugging and he’s not tug-focussed enough to ignore a rolling ball at the moment, which means we take a step back. Just need some more work!

Away from the ball, I’ve been trying to be more involved at agility. I always reward Dylan appropriately, but I was really reminded at the seminar that a few lazy tugs isn’t really good enough. So Dylan now gets a proper play, with me putting in as much effort as he does. It’s exhausting for me, but his focus is improving. His Aframe was very nice at training, but I can’t say that’s necessarily from the tug work as he does like doing Aframes at training anyway. I’m not sure it’s making a massive difference actually, apart from making him more tuggy obsessed, although I don’t suppose that’s a bad thing!

I’m trying to make an effort to blog more often, I’ve really been slacking recently.
