recalls - day 2

I'm loving this method. I've been carrying a tug toy with me on walks. When I notice Kenzi is in a positions to respond, I call her and reinforce with an "atta girl" as she sprints toward me. We have our tug "event" for a minute then I swap her a treat for the tug.

It seems as she is really loving it, too. I was able to redirect her off some crazy birds using this method this afternoon, which is pretty awesome at this stage of the game.
