Just went out for a quick session outside rather than inside. I got some resistance similar to when we tried Walking Fetch the other day, so we worked through that. Only did 4-6 fetches, a couple...
Thanks Wayne. I'll start working on it outside. Hopefully he can connect the dots from there. I just hope I haven't committed an irreversable error by having two 'not-good' sessions outside

Hey guys,
First post here. I registered a couple of days ago and spent the whole time since just going through past topics. Lot of info (almost overwhelming, especially to a noob like me).
