Annie Board and Train day 2

12/11/2013

Annie did well today. We started using her Dogtra collar after solving the problem of her thick hair keeping her from feeling the corrections with an emergency hair trim on a one inch patch of her neck. Even with the patch trimmed she takes more of a correction than her brother did, if I am remembering correctly. I don't know if it is a girl dog thing but Kylie, my female Akita, takes the highest correction setting of my dogs while my male shepherd mix and male pit bull take much softer corrections.
Today we worked more on Heel Autosit and she is now sitting automatically quite nicely. Still prone to distraction but it is much nicer than it was yesterday. We also started the Come command and the Down command. Down did not make much progress but it was introduced at least. Come went surprisingly well. We were able to let her off the leash (with her electronic collar on) to run and play and only once did she need a correction to remind her that Come means "Come now", not "come when you're done sniffing the apple trees."
Tomorrow it is more work on the basics and really pushing Down and Implied Stay (she still toils there a little but is getting much better). Right now she and Ace are playing a fantastic game of Bounce Around the House for No Apparent Reason and having a wonderful time.
