After all the modeling we did last week — http://www.kweaver.us/MacyStudioPictures/MacyStudioPictures.html and the Hollywood Dog Class, I realized that Macy didn't really know how to move away from me. In other words, she didn't know backup. That comes in real handy in photo shoots as you really can't get into the set.
So I've been working on that several times a day, and just about have a crawl back, and sometimes I get a walk back and occasionally I get a backup in a bow position.
In fact, I've started to put the crawl back on cue.
I'm also working on the stay at the start line. We don't have one, and that would also come in handy for modeling, so I've put a set up in the living room and working it as a back chain. I started out sitting in a chair and clicking whenever Macy was on the other side of the jump and have added a sit, and have started moving while she is sitting. Hopefully it will come soon. We've only been working on a stay for 3 1/2 years.
