After an afternoon of practicing the silent sit in the basement with Fido on a rainy day, I headed out with Molly the next morning to practice. Watching the videos helped me see I still need a bit of work. Well, a lot of work! Just a few things I notice are: my footwork and timing on the sits is off, my hand is too high on her back when I shape the sit, I’m not taking half steps during the right about training turn or the right turn, then I often pet Molly a little too vigorously on the left side of her head which puts her out of position.
Sometimes I feel I’m never going to get this but I’m not discouraged. Yet. 😂 I just keep practicing!
This is definitely not as easy as Roxanne and Jessi make it look!
