Yodel, Down Training, Video #3

Here are some snippets of our training sessions from day 1 after we had done our base line. It's a good thing I've started to video our Rally training because I am not training clean! He is getting faster and is thrilled with the high value reward (cheese). What I didn't realize until I watched the video was that he was releasing from the down before I gave the command at least 50% of the time. I'll have to deliberately pause, make sure he is still in the down and then say my release word. Poor Yodel. He really needs a better trainer! Fiji is being a really good girl and staying on her bed while we work.
