Boris Goals for UKC Competition: (March 12 2011 is UKC trial)
1. Heel on (week 2 started) and off leash
2. Figure 8 on leash
3. Stand for Exam (week 3 started)
4. Drop down
5. Recall over high jump (week 2 started jump)
6. Recall over broad jump
7. Honor down stay
8. Group sit stay (week 3 started)

Special notes: Boris jumpy around kids that move quickly, excited in public needs more training there.

Magoo CD (in other words has his CD) Goals: (first trial opportunity for high scoring Novice March 4)

1) 190s in Novice before going onto (ongoing)
2) Open exercises, preparing to be off leash entire ring time (ongoing)
3) Figure 8 off leash (should not be a problem, we are maintaining)
4) Retrieve and recall over high jump (working on jumps until we get to his height then send or recall over)
5) Jump over broad jump with handler in different position  (working on jump right now before send over and recall)
6) Drop down on recall  (ongoing and maintaining)
7) Sit and down stays while handler out of sight  (ongoing and upping the distractions)
8)  Working Retrieve (about to start with week 2)

Special notes: Magoo still very enthusiastic about small dogs when he sees them (they are not so much here, and he lives with a Westie that he loves), Magoo hasn't been worked in city public settings lately or in Petco. If his owners are going to be at trial, going to have to do very much training around them first. Magoo is a BIG dog, who does not know his own size:)

Leon Goals and ORT:
1. Working Retrieve (in progress-now on week 2)
2. Calm while working other dogs in front of him in a stay and behind something (or playing with a toy)  (coming along, training and maintaining daily on this)
3. Add to freestyle dance moves and add onto routine  (added handler crawl under to stand as possible move, need to outline a routine to do has a spin, weave, heel of course, stand until thru and back thru)
4. Nose work (in progress week 1-auditing class)
5. Seamless go to place and stay on place  (in progress and maintaining in different areas and different places)
