Frisbees just end up forgotten at the bottom of our hill, treats are ignored (YES my dogs will ignore treats if there's a possibility of someone petting them) tennis balls, etc. If there are any suggestions you have they would be greatly appreciated!<br />--Sarah (adventuresofbugandmoo.com)Sarah, Bug and Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706865756046292561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-84703688501528605542016-05-02T19:10:09.407-06:002016-05-02T19:10:09.407-06:00Wow!

The only hope I have of getting that kind of focus is really yummy treats (and doing some "warm up" recall to let her know I have those really yummy treats before the dog is in sight). I'm so very impressed.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497873574218444965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-49136740536982340302016-05-02T18:38:11.241-06:002016-05-02T18:38:11.241-06:00Go, Ruby, go!

I'm glad it's helping her with her reactivity and it reminds me of a story that Lia told me about her friend's dog. Ask Lia to tell you about the blue ball of courage. :) zoepheedogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959397251791559890noreply@blogger.com
