More crufts practice on the morning walk. I am trying to extend Dora's work using praise and play rather than titbits so she will keep going in the ring. Very icy out so could not do much on the carpark at the lake as it was too slippy.

Went to Middlewich to traain later on. I did lots of food circuits with Dora and used people arriving and getting out of their cars as distractions while doing heelwork. Dora does tend to look at them but quickly looks back at me. Of course nothing replicates the Crufts environment. Also played with her teddy and practised setting off.
When Chris came we did stays. As i was talking to Chris I kept rewarding Dora for staying.

Did food circuits and played with Saffy. did circles with a hand touch held low to get drive.
