Today we just played. At the advice of Ted, Sophie and I took the day off from training. I grabbed the chuck it and well, chucked it for her until her tongue was hanging out of her mouth. Sophie and Harley had a good time chasing around after each other. We may just play again tomorrow.
It was time to take a break. With all the "practicing" we've been doing you would think we wouldn't have had a day. I swear it seems to me, if we practice twice a day in between training days down at the field, we do horribly. By horribly, I mean both Sophie and I do not do well.
One of the most important things people seem to forget, dogs are living beings. Like humans they too have "off days". It's really bad when we both have an off day.
Yesterday, was one of those days. Sophie did the long down without any problems. After that, I have no idea what went wrong. When we started off doing the routine, she was distracted. I had to correct her several times. Then when she would look up at me like she is supposed to, I'd forget to say good girl. It just was not a good day.
I felt like we didn't practice at all.
