Yodel, Forward, 1st Session

After much negotiation, Yodel agreed to be a Demo Hoopers-Dog-in-Training. It took a bit of persuading, mainly because he was a tad offended when I explained that I was looking for a slow, senior dog with virtually no distance skills so that we could work through the program from the ground up. Although he has signed on, he has been very specific about the number of training sessions he will perform each week and about the number of repetitions per session. (I'll have to be very organized!) I suspect that the videos will reveal my errors more often than his. I am having to use a pre-placed reward for the forward send. Yodel has done a lot of obedience and we're having to work at changing the handler focus.
