Cheese in the tug toy trumps salmon treats in the Manners Minder.
Shorter sessions are definitely better.
Start the camera AFTER the timer, or else it shuts the recording off. Hence only the one, shorter video. But we did three sessions.
I like his energy levels in this set of training. However, I am not sure he "gets" the idea yet. I know, the video I am following says to let the dog fail (so that they can learn the right thing on their own), but I'm not sure that he should be failing as much as he is. So, for tomorrow, I am going to go back and take a page from another "modified" version of this training and work the arc in a very systematic way and see if that gets him to understand that his job is to find the entrance and go through the poles. Right now, he is good at it if I am low on the arc, but still not getting the idea high on the arc. And I will take notes on where we have issues, success/failure ratio, etc.!
