Well, I guess this is where we are at.  Didn't realize it until it was pointed out in my last video that my marker was too close to my movement so working on that but it still creeps in.  A couple distractions with both, someone walked by (you can here her low growl in middle position and the cat was ripping around upstairs, who was previously swatting at her tail while she we played the clockwork game. I was able to move into heel a few times then realized I was blocking her in the video so didn't post those ones. It was a ton of work in the "lab" with these things this week.

Looking good, Reanne! I like your systematic circling, marking, and flooding of rewards in place. Excellente!

You do some nice, tight circles, too, which more closely resemble the picture Elsa will see as you add the clockwork game. 

Wow, really like the head position I see at :43 and :46 and :53 and 1:04:))) That work from the middle is looking quite nice! 

Great job charging "ready" as a focus cue, too - good forward thinking. And your 'click' and reward delivery is timely and precisely executed. 

I was really happy to see you feeding from the left hand at 1:52 when you approached closer to heel. That will bring Elsa's head up. And if you want to, you can even reward in a way that keeps her head up but also causes it to angle to the side some.

Really lovely work, Reanne. It's where you're at... and it's a great place to be. 

I'd focus your efforts on proofing focus and rewarding a lot from that side heel position. We want to see if we can get a reward history in place that really draws that head up and straight.

Well, well done.
