However, I am probably my own worst critique.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a two and a half minute video of Clover doing some heeling training.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v-gHqjZrSo0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>My own comments:<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I am happy with her attitude and willingness to work, especially considering she still has a bit of &#8216;baby brain&#8217; (her puppy was born 4 weeks ago!).<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure, after watching this video, if I should conduct tug-rewards on this slippery surface. Clover doesn&#8217;t seem unhappy about her lack of traction, but I am not sure if it&#8217;s great for her body.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t realise how wonky I am on my feet! There are a few times I look like I&#8217;m going to fall over, and my feet go weird ways. Some of this is probably due to the hypermobility of my joints, but I am going to be more conscious of having clear body cues. I think at the moment, Clover has to make some guesses about where I was going next.<\/p>\n<p>I am not quite happy with some of my reward points.I should&#8217;ve rewarded her eye contact more, and sometimes she was out of position. Next session will be a food session to help try to pinpoint the heel position.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, we haven&#8217;t done any training\u00a0sessions\u00a0for at least 2 months! So I am pretty happy with her comeback performance here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clover is now almost past her whelping and milkbar duties, so we can start training again.
