I've been taking Quinn to a Novice Ready class taught by another club member. I haven't been able to attend all the classes, (darn work!) but I've made most of them.
We did some heeling working on fast, where Quinn jumps at me a little; and we practiced our fronts and recalls. Then Robin had each of us do a Novice run through. Quinn got to go first, he did outstanding on heel on leash, and the figure 8, he did a good stand for exam. Stays have been our bugaboo, so I was thrilled he held his stand.
Heel off lead was fine, then we got to our recall. Again, that stay command really threw us off. He would get distracted the minute I got more than 10' away. I did get to do two recalls with him successfully, but obviously were not ready to go into the ring.
