Two nights ago I posted about Shasta running through and flying off the puppy teeter. She showed no concerns that same night but it usually manifests the next time, especially with berners. I was able to train last night and tonight and, voila, no issues! Yea!!
There is still fear/stress at the chute but it's improving a lot over the last week or two. With Kris' help I've spent some time focusing on treating her low coming out of the chute, trying to help her understand she doesn't need to pop the chute up. I think that has helped a lot. Last night she did all chutes with no hesitation. Tonight she hesitated briefly on the first one but went in without much of a stop or a re-approach.
The last two nights have continued a stretch of really good training sessions. She looks really happy. She is very focused. She is learning. Speed and drive is increasing. I am really happy with what I am seeing. It's early, really, really early. But I love how things are going so far.
