Consistency

It's hard getting what you want in this venue without being anal and making it boring. I've got a few BIG problems to solve - one, the aforementioned sit, and I discovered another this morning, and that's a dropped head on right turn/about turn. As usual, this is completely my fault and I discovered it's because I am not consistent.
When I had group training classes before the accident, our trainer does pivot drills. While Moto does these just fine, I didn't insist that his head be up during these drills. Then, when teaching heads-up heeling duh! his head drops because he's learned he doesn't "have" to keep his head up all the time. ARGH.
This leaves me quite a conondrum, as my group training class is lots of drills which can be both good and bad, but it's the same thing all the time. I enjoy my trainer a great deal and he has great insight into lots of problems but I may no longer attend weekly. Not sure how to handle it yet. I don't want to go against his teachings but I cannot do a lot of the group exercises (group heeling) as they are too long and asking too much from a green dog if I want the attention heeling. I have to see how this all plays out.
Meantime, we're working on heads-up pivots and those fronts and the stand-down-sit stuff. Interspersing it with some go-outs, retrieves and jumps so far. Next week I'll re-introduce articles.
Lots to do, never enough time....
