Sealy and I have mostly been training outside the past few days, so there have lots of distractions (for both of us). Yesterday and again today a cherry tree was in that state I like so much, the three-in-one state (simultaneously blossom, flower, and leaf).
How in the world did I ever go from having 9 days left to train, to only having 5 days left? Oh well... I have been doing a little bit each day, not all that much, but a little bit. Which is a lot more than I was doing before holding myself publicly accountable on this blog (then it was just one day a week in class).
It's been interesting to identify the gaps in Sealy's knowledge - once I take away this cue, or that one, it's been evident that she often really doesn't understand what I'm asking her to do. Once I teach her - show her, help her - she does gets things, especially when I reinforce it every day a few times a day for several days in a row. Starting tomorrow I'm going to try and do one run-through each day, so Sealy gets used to concentrating for longer periods, and I get used to the flow of one exercise to the next.
