Notice that the dogs are off leash while I am taking this picture, It is the first time that we took a walk together into the deep woods. And now, with the daily training that I have been doing with both the dogs (Sofie on the e-collar and Lulu on the Clicker & treats), they are actually at a point where I can drop the leash and even Sofie stays where she is placed. OMG!!!! What a pleasure. In only 2 weeks I have really seen an incredible difference. Sofie is coming in from the yard when called, she is much more attentive, and seems to be calmer over all. Last week we worked on “Sit,” “CalmCome,” and “Break.” (I just made a Fruedian slip and wrote “Calm” instead of “Come,” until I just edited it. LOL ) This week we added the “Place” command. I like “Place,” it is going to really help me to have them sit on towels at the door instead of go charging into the house with muddy paws. Now don’t think that I am kidding myself that these two angels won’t go charging off after a ‘SQUIRREL!!!!!’ or a fox, but at least I have a chance for Sofie to return. And I want to give a shout out to Sofie’s trainer John Poole, who is starting his own company and actually has created his own WordPress site, LizzasK9Training. So far, so good with my little SoSo (Sofie Bear).
What was that noise? Can we chase it?
Just another DogDaz morning at our house ❤
