Right Sided Heeling with The Corgi
I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I started training right sided heeling with The Corgi. 2 months, and sadly not many sessions and thus results.
Lance still needs work on his pivots and doodles, but his forging is way down. It's a bit difficult for him to physically do the pivoting now so I try not to do it too much.
So mainly I've started to work on forward motion. It was no shock that his natural tendency of forging keeps trying to rear its head, but the wideness Lance has been showing was a surprise! I've been working on doing a pivot before each reward to get Lance in the habit of moving in towards me. Eventually when wideness is the problem I'll throw in a moving side step each time, but he's not quite ready for that.
The horse flies are just starting to appear at home and The Corgi thinks they are his mortal enemy. I don't disagree, but I've never taken it to the point where I don't want to come off the porch! Thus I'm really proud of Lance for doing a training session out in the yard yesterday. You can see how hard he thinks about it after each cookie!
