Below are his first 3 steps...
Step 1: Holding the head
I want Scout to be familiar with this, and comfortable when I hold his head and move it around. This helps be hold him still or shift his weight slightly as needed, but also preps him for examination later.
I want him to be confortable with my handling and touching him, while he is still letting me hold his head. I also want him to wait nicely during this.
Step 3: Holding the head and moving the front left leg.
I keep holding the head, and start moving the leg around from the elbow. At this point I don't care where I move it, I just click for his cooperation while I move it.
Next time we will place both legs and hold a bit longer... I hope...
Keep in mind this is secondary to his whoa work. But also enhanced by it as he learns to control his own movement and be still.
