Last night's class seemed long. It was definitely a struggle for Blarney to keep his concentration for 45 minutes when all around him there are noises and moving dogs. The strain shows on the owners too. We're constantly bending to the dog and coaxing him with treats. We ran out again last night. It must have been a meal's worth. We had purposely only given Blarney a half portion for dinner, in fact the instructor had suggested no dinner at all but knowing how our boy loves his food we figured half was a fair compromise.
We came away with a few things to work on, mostly to do with obeying sit, down and stay in the face of distractions. We're also going to use a new command, Watch ME for keeping the B's attention.
