John Vanek Webboard User Reg: 03-26-2008 Posts: 251 Loc: NY Offline	So we have the other thread series "What did you work on today," which seems to be about what you are working on with your dog(s). However, I'm interested in what YOU are working on, ie what handling skills are you working on perfecting? For me, I'm mostly working on: *my timing of the mark *consistency in using words to start and end my training sessions *ending play sessions before Carlin gets bored *being more observant of Carlin's stoic behavior so as to better "protect" him from stressful situations(proximity towards strange men) What about you?

Mary Velazquez Webboard User Reg: 12-24-2007 Posts: 575 Loc: Texas Offline	I am always working on timing and trying to remember to implement all the little things I have observed and analyzed and decided to tweak for our precision obedience and engagement. I tend to slow down trying to remember all this stuff and then the sessions get too boring and I lose engagement. So yes, predictably the dog is fine, its the slow-witted human who takes too long to learn

Sharon Empson Webboard User Reg: 08-27-2007 Posts: 1197 Loc: Offline	oops John I am sorry, I put the wrong stuff on this thread. What I AM working on: Remembering the rally cards. Help!!! Remaining calm when Terra barks and barks at every behavior she does! Getting a lesson plan book and planning out my training for my dogs every two weeks. Working on being in shape to keep up with my dogs training and their energy! Taking a dog training course -working on my timing in clicker/marker training. I think that is it. I just need work. My dogs have it together, I am just trying to keep up Ha! sharon Sharon Empson

With a mirror! I was amazed (and not in the good way) the first time I did this. Both timing and telegraphing (movement toward the reward).

Jamie Craig Webboard User Reg: 09-01-2009 Posts: 986 Loc: Munroe Falls, OH Offline	Looking at jumps (not the object I want retrieved over them) when I send Ryuk over them....in hopes that will stop him jumping everything but the jumps (like innocent bystanders) Timing and releasing rewards properly with Gambit when heeling around corners. He doesn't know how to turn right and stay with me and my crappy reward release doesn't help him....I know better than to reward in front, but so far my proper positioning of rewards has ended in us tripping over each other... https://www.etsy.com/shop/Blitzava
