A good day

So Orion started his 3rd L2 class last week and he kinda was a poop all through class last wk, actually almost convincing me that he wasn't feeling well. Haha he fooled me, after class he was tearing around and playing and totally normal. Brat. So I told him I wasn't falling for that crap tonight. : ) And he overall did very well. I actually got him to go from a down into a sit for the first time ever! Woohoo something we need to work on for the table in agility and for when we start rally, although, I guess they don't actually have to do that until Rally 2, but still. He also did super well in agility class today with very little reactivity (none at all in his L2!), and also did well with the sequences, and when I sent him out farther than I usually do after a rear cross to a pinwheel (i think thats what its called) he did all 3 jumps a fairly good distance away from me. He was very good. No sign of the little limp that bothered him last week in class on the A-frame and dogwalk. I think the problem with obedience and him is that its just not fun! In agility he gets to run around and play with toys, etc and thats really fun. I think rally's also going to be a problem for him. We'll see when we get there. I stopped in on the rally class on Mon. night with him just to classically condition him, and he was super reactive, especially to a keeshond in the class and the great dane of course. So, I'm just going to try to get in there every Monday with him and feed him. Things should get better, they did in all of our other classes. There was a lot more ovement of dogs and people in the Rally class than I expected (I guess I don't know what I expected!). But we'll work through it, we've got nothing but time. : ) Good boy Orion.
