I noticed a BIG improvement in Zio's focus on the tug and ignoring the other dogs yesterday. The "Step on It" team was practicing in the left lane, so I set up the box in the right lane for Zio to practice. We would wait until the other team was between runs and then practice some turns. Although he looked at them a couple of times while we were waiting, he was focused on what he was supposed to do! Awesome!
The negative is that his box turn disappeared during practice once again. He keeps reverting to punching the box. I liked Connie's suggestion that he not be allowed to go to the box without his props... even during warm-up time at tournaments.
