A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin.
I need help with the turns, Sofie was distracted at the end of the line while I was trying to turn, maybe I should have corrected her by walking opposite direction? Sorry, it still feels so awkward. But, we keep trying. She is so smart, she knew when I usually turn and started turning before I stepped on the line.
Making steady improvement. LOVE the playground distraction. Notice that Sophie's head, as you are doing LL, moves towards your knee periodically? That is called a 'check-in' and exactly what I want to see as the dog is checking in to make sure they are still with you.
