Okay, today we started on working on more eye contact. I'm trying very hard to keep the leash as loose as possible (trying to mimic off lead ) and her attention on me with good eye contact. While we worked on easy stuff - heel, down, stay etc, I c/t'd every time I had eye contact. If it was prolonged, I pretty much just kept the bar open as long as I had the eye contact - when she'd look away, I would not verbally or physically correct her, I just kept going with different exercises and waited until she looked back to me. Is that right? While the bar is open and I'm pretty rapidly feeding her tiny bits, should I click before each bit?
She did pretty well, it's been quite a while since we've really worked on anything. I did notice that she's swinging her hiney out when we stop so she can face me - I did not correct or reward these sits, would just step up a few steps until she sat correctly (correct sits with eye contact earned a c/t).
