I do work with them together on basic sits and downs, but it is very hard because if one is acting up (usually Dexter the lab) I can't focus on the other.<br /><br />This is OK for now, but I want to be able to work with them seperately even if we are all inside or outside. What would you recommend as baby steps to being able to have them take turns?<br /><br />If I put them in a sit stay and one gets up but the other doesn't, what do I do?<br /><br />If you like, you can email me directly at<br />backupdogATcomcastDOTnet<br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Mango mommaDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-74768118738201261192009-07-23T17:15:35.333-05:002009-07-23T17:15:35.333-05:00Hey - great going with Lance but even greater news...Hey - great going with Lance but even greater news about Vito's progress with no crying/anxiety!! :-)<br /><br />Hsin-YiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-31442172725052010652009-07-22T14:17:13.809-05:002009-07-22T14:17:13.809-05:00Thanks for the info on agility at TCOTC.

He tried to pull me to the door the whole time. We didn't really do any foundation at all and we were "doing" all the obstacles at full height by the fourth week or so, and sequencing things. It was terrible--we quit the class early. I don't know much about agility, but I know there is more to it than just doing the obstacles. Lok's eyes are now too bad to try agility again, but I might like to try it with Jun this winter. My prior experience has made me paranoid about beginning agility classes. Also, I have to say, I haven't been completely impressed with our obedience classes at TCOTC--except for Patty's class of course. She is great, but the rest of the instructors (or at least the ones that I've had) . . . I've heard good things about Agile Canines, so we might try that out.<br /><br />Let me know if want to try disc! I'd be happy to help you get started. It's a pretty laid back sport and not much of a time committment, unless you want it to be. <br /><br />Yeah, it's only been two day for me of fixing Lok's habit of bolting out the door, and already kind of a pain. But your committment to fixing Vito's SA is what insipired me to just do it!<br /><br />See you at class tomorrow!Ninsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926615638315977082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-12268965573025058292009-07-22T09:13:18.149-05:002009-07-22T09:13:18.149-05:00Do you take agility at TCOTC?
