Flash is absolutely loving his training for Top Dog. His face lights up when he can learn something new, and he loves to rehearse older stuff.
Last night, we practiced the running to and lying down by the marker and started to introduce the barking when lying down. Then we did the crawling bit. We also started with looking for a ball under a pot. The slow recall with an emergency down is coming along very nicely and the recall across distractions (food and toys) went really well too without a sideward glance (and also without actually avoiding getting near the distractions).
All in all... Flash is making good progress and seeing the joy and enjoyment in his face is priceless and worth all the effort. It's great to have a happy dog.
