Trying to give both dogs a couple of light days. I think Tor may have just a touch of Panno. His right front pastern area seems just a little sore. I haven't seen him do anything and he isn't limping but he has yelped a couple of times in the last 24 hours when my hand brushed that area. He's just growing so fast that Panno seems the obvious choice. However, it's not like he couldn't have tweaked it half a dozen times over the way he runs and plays :-) I'm not too worried about it but don't want to diminish his enthusiasm for playing with me so will take it a little easy.
Having said that, I am astounded at how quickly and easily he seems to be picking up on the leash pressure work. We've only done a few short sessions so far but he really seems to be getting it.
Stopped at MPSC on the way home from work. Let both dogs out to run around for a little while since no one was there. Both were enjoying just hanging out on a really beautiful day - hard to believe it is January. Have noticed that Tor doesn't always like new surfaces so instead of doing any real work out there we just took advantage of the available equipment. He got up on the picnic table, both of the training tables, and even went across the lower A-frame a couple of times :-) Once he realizes that it is OK he is fine but he doesn't like to get on things that first time. Will have to remember to keep asking him to get on/walk across weird stuff.
Did some position changes with Gata, primarily in a stationary heel position for food. Then did a few out of motions with a few short ball tosses. And that was it for her. Let them both wander around again for a little while and home early for a change.
