I am sorry. Life served me with some troubles lately… I will give more time at the end to make up for lack of feedback.
So starting routines – i didn’t see how he was outside but already coming in he was a bit low. Not totally disconnected bit not very high in energy either. So we will go one step back – do the outside routine, than run in and start food throws over the first jump immediately, than proceed into hide and seek. After some sessions like this, run in and stop, make classic engagement game, make him “turn you on” with attention. Don’t ask too much, just looking at you is enough at first, get active and reward, than freeze again and wait for attention,…
The heeling game looks good. If you don’t have any ambition to do more precise obedience you can include that into your engagement/hide and seek game from time to time to add diversity.
