Today was a fun day training Hoot.  Sure we accomplished some things, but she revealed even more how she learns.  The incites are worth way more than what you actually  accomplish.

Hooty is a smart little girl.  She loves her motion.  If the learning is slow and methodical she is not going to be with you for too long.  She needs action! That is OK, it is fairly easy to sandwich the methodical with games of tug.

She reminds me also of my son and gifted children in some ways.  If there isn't value in the activity, she isn't doing it or won't really be in it with all her heart.  That is OK too, easy to build value with her.  Actually sometimes it is very relaxing to work on value building.

Here is a video of today's work.  Getting some distance on sends, nice wraps, learning to stay out of the tunnel until cued, getting some consecutive obstacles.  She is a "hoot" to run!
