Kat/Niko: Lesson 12 EXAM

--- From 9/20 ---

Here is our first exam attempt! Working against a HEAT, toys, old dogs, and some curious neighborhood kids.

I touched her ear before the first retrieve and then forgot to! The one sad part is that I threw the dumbbell further than the recording could catch. 

Our practice Exam: 

I was really impressed with how well she did today!!

 Hey Roxanne and Everyone!

Today we worked against dirty dinner plates, raw chicken, and Jürgen. She did not do great, then she did a little better, then she deteriorated, again. I feel like I'm walking a fine line between not correcting her enough (to the point that she doesn't believe me), and correcting her too much (to the point that she shuts down). Her speed is also still 👎, but where I have to fight her to get any kind of retrieve at all... I may not be correcting enough for slow retrieves. 

Sorry about the visit from one of our neighbors at the beginning of the videos. If anyone is looking for a 6 BR house at the South end of Monroe, I have a very nice flyer for you. 😁
