MicroTraining

The weather hasn't been cooperating and neither has my energy pool so I've been getting creative with my training. Since Blitz is always ready & willing to work he's become my "Laundry Buddy". This started when he was very ill last year. I'd carry him in the laundry basket and he'd hang out with me as I did the laundry. It transformed as he got better into our special time time together. Now when he sees the laundry basket he gets excited as he knows we're going to have special alone time. When I'm doing laundry now I do some fast dynamic little exercises such as pivots, fronts, finishes and work on attention. He absolutely adores this and hopefully he'll remember these exercises when we put it together in the big ring someday. Meantime the ripple effect is that Moto is beside himself with jealousy and wants to get in on the fun. His job is to sit-stay quietly while Blitz is having fun and then Moto can do some small quick tricks too.
The best thing is of all this is Moto's realization that he "gets" to train. I think it's helping develop his teamwork and work ethic with me.
Six weeks and counting until Blitz's big debut.
