Walking loose lead with distractions, inside or out and about.	4	8/1/17	2
Currently a major challenge, walking down the road, high chase instinct takes over.Solar did very well in Training sessions, off lead walking at heel, Sue thinks he was unaware he was off lead, which is even more credit to both of them; This was in a village hall with other dogs and trainers doing the same thing.
Training (Class)	Score	Date	Previous Score

Obedience	Score	Date	Previous Score
Sit	9	1/1/17	0
Follows well, often will give a free down.
Down	7	1/1/17	0
Takes a little longer than a sit, but it takes more effort
Sit-Stay	7	1/1/17	0
Reinforced with the "look at me" command.
Down-Stay	7	1/1/17	0
Good down stay awaiting release command, while inn focal view. The next step is to step out of view, around a corner etc.
Drop it	8	1/1/17	0
Works well especially when obeys a treat or alternative is provided as a reward.
Leave it	2	1/1/17	0
Work in progress and not used in much of a structured way yet
Watch me	6	1/1/17	5
Responds well, keeps good eye contact, but will choose to sometimes look away at a distraction.Solar is responding better outside, saying "Solar Watch me" gets his attention and a follow up command seems more successful.
Come	4	1/1/17	0
Inconsistent with coming when called, especially when out in the garden.
Heel / Close	4	1/1/17	0
Has successfully done a few paces, but keeping focused is an issue at the moment.
Tug and play	5	1/1/17	0
Has a tendency to grab too close to my hand (Not the same with Sue, holds onto his end of the toy only).
