There were some issues that I have been struggling with: Rigger's devotion to gazing adoringly at me while go through the poles (how he does that without running into them amazes me!), and his desire to run back through the poles to get to the start line. I think I have solved the first problem yesterday by using the Manners Minder to reward him. Our video for that day is below.
And today, after getting some good advice from my Fenzi friends, I have added tugging in to keep him from going through the poles when we reset. I am actually very pleased with how this is going, and plan on going to the next level tomorrow. Which means watching the video again to see what that is!
Here's today's video:
And having watched the video again, tomorrow we move the poles to the other part of the yard where there's slightly more room, and work on more of the arc. And I may start mixing up the food and toy rewards, just to see what happens!
