Down stays and agility!

I am taking "Agility in da House" through FDSA, and the first game is about stays. And what would you know, my in-person trainer wants me to work on down stays with Rigger.  What can I say?  I don't really like working on downs and stays, so this seems like the perfect impetus to do so!


I will say... he's not doing as awful as I was thinking that he would.  Of course, this is in my low-distraction boring home training room, but it's a lot better than I was expecting.  He broke several times, but self-corrected, so I think we will get it with some more practice!

Here's video from yesterday.


And today's round.  I pushed it trying to see what he would do without the mat as a location cue.  The answer:  not as good!  We will work this some more and see how solid we can get it before adding in the next stay games (which do look fun1)  And tomorrow I will start on turns.
