Ferguson is practicing his focus game outside with a fenceline distraction. He is very easily sucked into running on the fenceline with other dogs so it was great to see how much focus he had with me playing these games!

Zuri is working on step one of getting comfortable getting her nails done. Today she is getting used to the table, being leashed in and pumped up. I am going to do a few short sessions and see if we can get to nail clipping today. My goal is for Zuri to be relaxed on the table before starting nails.

Ferguson is practicing focus, recall and working on stillness for longer periods of time around distractions. He is a very busy dog who has a hard time settling. In this video we start with movement games then progress into rewarding for longer periods of stillness and focus. Ferguson has already done the foundation games for these skills so I am letting him figure out more of what he should do on his own. When he chooses the position I want I will tell him he is good and stay engaged with him through my focus, eye contact and energy but delay the treat delivery for longer periods of time. The position I am looking for here is laying down on one hip and staying in that position when I deliver the treat.
