I am SO excited!
The light bulb in Jak's little brain is flickering on finally! He'll be 2 in June and ever since we started doing bitework with him, it's been a fight once the sleeve is slipped. :evil: He would take it to the ground and try to maul it rather than carrying it around like most dogs do. Up until now, we've just been choking him off it as soon as it's slipped, but last week the TD said to try and see if we can get him to carry at the end, and he did! All the way to the car, but then when he got to the car and I tried to get him to sit with it, he started fighting with it again.
This week, we worked on it some more, and he seems to be getting it finally! The helper has to kind of go with us when he slips it, but it's a big improvement from before! We had a few little flubs (one time I was almost tangled in the lead
, one time the helper slipped the sleeve like he does with the other dogs instead of going with us, etc.), but overall I'm satisfied! 
The video is almost 6 minutes long, and my cousin didn't loosen the tripod thing enough so it would move more smoothly, but I'm really glad she came with me this week, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten anything.
