First Duane it is "au pied" it just bug me, yes it is "at foot or feet"
Some fun ob with Harley but some very hilarious communication failuremwit Dexter and PB. Whatever I asked Harley, Dexter did for PB plus every other commands PB may asked Dexter. Dexter was going nuts but he was spot on. just a bit confused as to who he should listen
Harley did some very nice down in motion and very far send away with either sit, down or come. He get in very crazy high drive when I mix treats and a ball for reward.
He would drop in a down regardless of the ground (grass, sand, gravel and asphalt)

Tracking this morning was much more solid. Won't change anything for a while. Continued introducing articles; using nosework methods in den for this, and Sadie is having fun with it.
Also, did a little indoor brush-up routine to further sharpen the things that were brought to my attention on club night. Included some "au pieds"; Sadie responds better now that I can spell it!
I do teach touch pads, but I was using a round saucer from a large planter. I asked my husband to make me a square one. Right now I realized I could even use a square piece of carpet or plexiglass. I just haven't taught the pivot in the heel yet. I am excited about it. My other pup cody already swings his rear around as I walk toward him while he is on the pad. I am going to start teaching bindi and then terra this week. I like using a perfectly square pad rather than a round saucer because my dogs can get closer to my side in the heel position and not have their toes hang off the rounded edge. Thanks for you advise and help. I may need it, if I run into some problems. My pups are pretty smart and learn very quickly, so any trouble we have will probably be my mechanics.

I may start teaching my Terra nose work. She is always hunting down something with her snoot. I think she will like it.
Love hearing about all everyone is doing with their dogs.
Today I actually did nothing, went to church and to families, and came home. Might work on the pad tonight with Bindi.

Here is a nice series of videos teaching the touch pad. He explains why they use square pads. Not saying that you needed instruction at all Sharon. I just wanted to link the videos for anyone interested in the process

Sharon;
The first link that David posted is an excellent visual of the same process that I described earlier,
The link that I posted shows the initial lesson in touch pads. I didn't know if you had already introduced them. It is great for anyone who hasn't already begun touch pad training.
