Advanced Obedience: Week 3 & 4

This is a continued post chronicling Buster's Advanced Obedience class at Petsmart. Weeks 1 and 2 are here. There was a 2 week interval between week 3 and 4 due to the holidays.
Week 5 & 6

Week 3: We worked on 

• long-distance, out of site stays again. 
• heeling side by side with another dog
• leave it using high value treats
• come when called with distractions (yummy food on the floor) 
• bow

Buster did excellent with all of this. The Shiba Inu in class with us was very jealous when it was Buster's turn to be called to come through the "valley of yummy treats" (which he had to ignore. The Shiba let out a scream to express her displeasure at not coming with Buster, which scared him but he came to me anyway after giving the Shiba a 'what the heck' look. Very cute. 

Week 4: We worked on

• heeling side by side with another dog, with distractions (next to the aquariums)
• come when called with distractions (yummy food on the floor) 
• back up
• "heel up" dog starts on opposite side he heels, then goes behind you and sits down on the side he heels
