I was surprised when I took Jaxon for beginner agility classes - he was a super star too. But I think it was ALL about the treats.  |
Good point. I think I may need to re-examine his rewards. I give him the same treats at home as in class, and I should probably cut down on the home rewards and improve the class rewards.
For a while, toys were working better as motivation, but he's getting bored with those as well. The big problem is noise. In class, when the teeter starts slamming and the big dogs pounce on the A frame, he tenses up and wants to go home. I've been told I should record the sounds the scare him and play them when he's eating or doing something fun.
Either that or switch dogs.
