Over the past few days I have continued to work on Molly's sitting. She is very good now at sitting when walking on the lead. Still not 100% and needs the odd reminder. Most of the time all that is required is a sharp tug on the lead and she sits immediately. I had intended trying her when dragging the lead but I have decided against this now for a few days until she is 100% when on the lead. Hopefully by the weekend we will be well on the way.
We are also working all the time on her recall and this has been going so well so far that I started to introduce the whistle last night as I was calling her in. I will continue doing this over the next few days and watch her reaction. She seems to be taking to it well so far. I won't introduce the whistle to the sit until she is progressing better at it.
We continue to do a few short retreives in the lawn and she is a very determined retreiver. I hold her when I am throwing the dummy and she is really straining at the bit to get after it. She is much better now at coming straight back to me with the dummy and gives it up easily with no tug of war. I am still using the kennel wall at my back to prevent her running past me. It seems to be working well.
