Digging & Weaving

I'm working on teaching Kastle proper weaves using the 2x2 method in the basement - we are very close to four straight poles! He's starting to do the skip from paw to paw between them.
We also had a family "Scratch Off". We were challenged to teach all five dogs in five days to dig on command. At least 4 scratches in three seconds. We succeeded! Of course, we turned it into a competition.... ;-)

Kastle did really, really well! He learned the basics the very first lesson. Started with food under a towel and then moved to the tupperware, he transferred fine. I had him so revved for it he was screaming :-) I also experimented with having him down then release him to dig and then back down, he did great.
