• Staying down (1,5 minutes with treats). Good.
• Heelwork (with turnings to the left and to the right). Just perfect! We are able to do the 360 degrees as well.
• Going down in the middle of the heelwork. From perfect to not satisfactory (my fault!!!)... I did this exercise too many times and I made a mistake in one attempt by giving wrong signals to Ruudi. After that Ruudi was not sure if he has to go down every time or not. However, finally we managed to correct this exercise.
• Stop in the middle of the heelwork. At home I could not figure out how to teach it, because every time I stop Ruudi sits, which is right behavior in the heelwork in general but not in this exercise. I asked our trainer Piret how to make it clear to Ruudi. She said that it is better not to ruin the correct behavior and I should not stop in the middle of the heelwork and when giving the command I have to throw a toy behind me - so Ruudi will learn to put his breaks on to go after the toy.
• Again one stay down exercise (1,5 minutes with treats). Very good.
• Recall. Very good.
