I did much the same today with Glory. But this time I clicked her for sitting in the center of the table and then sent her 'over' to the food bowl. It went very well.
I tried to do some free stacking with her on the ground but she was so focused on the food that I got little done with her. So I did several sits and stands on the table. That went much better and I added the words stand, sit and stack. I hard stacked her and clicked brief stack stays. That went so well that she was starting to stand with the hand signal.
I ended the session with 4 or 5 fun retrieves with a toy....letting her have it for a bit before tossing it out again for her.
She enjoyed the training and it is fun to watch how quickly she picked everything up.
I did not take her to members night because I didn't think there was much to gain. Instead I took Addie who desperately needs more Utility work although she was remarkably good tonight in spite of having about 3 months off.
