We started the session being comfortable putting our nose in and then immediately pulling back for a treat. We end our session comfortably (loosely) bucked in

#with a little walk around the house and a loooot of treats. then off and done #and she wanted to keep going too #but i know I'd end up pushing too far. better to stop early... especially since im not a very good trainer and undoing issues would be hard #anyways. this because i want to try whippet racing #and i know sometimes its required for coursing so may as well be ready for anything #or like. “a natural relaxed yet alert stance” as the racing rulebook says... im assuming basically stacked? #pretty sure that's how she's arranged for the measurement wicket at roll call #she doesn't like standing on the board and she doesn't like the wicket either so a couple people helped me arrange her #would like to not need that. and that wont be allowed for racing so like. double the reason to improve #idk idk i just want her to have a full enriched life. as much as I'm able to give #fastcat is frequent nearby but seems kinda disappointing for her. since its not really that much running/chasing #lure coursing is infrequent and very satisfying for her #i dont know yet how frequent or nearby racing is but at least it would be another fun thing for her! #getting a rc car is in line with that goal. more frequent fun chase games + conditioning for other things we do #we just dont have any fast friends nearby so she rarely really runs the way i know she wants to #anyways. this has been a rant #whippet #misdemeanor #dogblr #petblr
