Contact training

Ruger had lost his contact behaviour at Wigan and has been dodgy for the last few shows. We haven't trained contacts though since last October, or not on a regular basis. Now I have the contacts back and painted, thanks to Deb, Danni and Ali :) I have spent this week training. Ruger is really over the top when it comes to toy focus so I decided to use food instead and reward correct, calm behaviour. This has worked well and after 3 days and various short sessions, I can now run on and he will stop, if command is used :) I am happy with this as I will move on to independent contacts later. Next thing is to put this into practice at Ribble tomorrow
