That is awesome news FG!
I took my dogs out to work on tricks for our trick show repertoire and discovered that they have even better stays than I realized! I'm working on getting them to hold stays on upturned buckets while another dog is working for future show use and figured I'd have to do a fair amount of re-placing them, but only Snipe broke the stay more than once!
Some of the distractions they were exposed to while on stays:
- Aeri tugging with me, including being swung around in the air and me rolling on the ground
- Snipe doing flirt pole
- Z jumping through hoops and doing agility jumps/tunnels at speed
- Kes playing with frisbees (catches, jumping over my leg, weaving between my legs, all with barking)
- Aeri doing a long jump and crashing the poles a few times
- Kes retrieving
- Ziva spinning and crawling on the ground
- Kes figuring out where I hid treats under cups while I sat on the ground
- Neighbor taking her trash cans out to the curb
- Another neighbor watering flowers with a hose
- DH coming home (driving up the drive, opening the garage door, and walking out to where I was)
Soooo awesome to see them performing so well!
