Carolyn&Tycho - 1/28/11 freestyle training session

NOTE: I do not recommend or generally have training sessions of this length. Shorter is almost always better. :) However, I was at the Planet specifically to tire my guys out, and Tycho doesn't really do the run-around-and-play thing. Thus, super long training session.

As much as I love this song, I'm not sure I can actually use it for a routine. :( It's fun to use in practice, though.

Total moment of brilliance at 1:38. I know it's possible, now I just have to make it repeatable! 5:05 is the new trick we've been playing around with this winter. Tycho gets clicked if he actually pushes off of my leg.

@billie84105 My goal for the last seven years has been to get the Tycho in this video to show up in a trial setting on a consistent basis. We're going to try an obedience trial next month, and I'm fully prepared to run circles around him or have him do spins off of my leg in between exercises if it will keep him happy and engaged. :)

I love this dog! He's such a happy little worker. I laughed to tears several times... he just makes me so happy!
