Target Training Third Lesson

I had to take several days off from training Lola since I was away Trialing one of my other dogs. As a result, it’s been six days since Lola has had any training. If our earlier work was successful she should remember what we had done. Normally I would start by doing a little work from the previous lesson, but Lola is a smart girl, so were going to continue with the next lesson. 

For the next lesson we will toss the target down as always, but we will not say anything. We will make her figure out what we want. In the first two lessons we did a lot of luring, here we will just let her work out what we want. 

As you can see in the video Lola did not take long to figure out the new game, and was able to target consistently without being told. Then at the end of the video, she was going to target on command. This is what we wanted. Next we will be asking even more of Lola.
