I should have explained the tasks (although some are self-explanatory!):
1. walk round the bed without the dog getting up
2. apply slight lead pressure without the dog moving off the boundary
3. Distract Mark Treat - apparently similar but not the same as LAT; we used a remote controlled car, which got the dogs looking at it; the handler says 'good' and then treats
4. drop food off the boundary, the dog stays on the boudary
5. handler sits down next to the bed (lots found this tough)
6. drop food, call dog off boundary towards you away from food, release to food
7. put dog on a different boundary (e.g. on a chair, in a hula hoop)
8. use a rubbish word for release (cheese! monkey! etc.) - dog should stay on boundary
9. release dog to boundary (I think, all went a bit hazy here!)
10. make it to 2 mins without treating
11. run away from boundary, dog stays on boundary
12. release from boundary, wrap round object then back on boundary (we didn't even try this - not yet wrapping)
