Tomorrow we are practicing more of the same as we continue her training and transition to off-leash.
We had so much fun with Arrow today. We spent most of the day at the farm and she had 3 off-leash walks/work outs. She did well. There were some mistakes, sure, but she never needed her leash put back on in order for her to get the right answer. Her biggest mistake was when Angela, the cat, popped out of the woods for a while. Arrow has a very strong prey drive (luckily she isn't stealthy and Angela is very dog savvy. She was never in any danger) and she lost all focus when she saw the cat. I hat to turn her remote up to tap her and turn her around. She didn't run very far, just to the garage door where Angela has a cat-door through which Arrow doesn't fit. She did eventually come back to me and I was determined to make her come back to me instead of me walking to go get her. She needs more experience off the leash before I would consider her trustworthy but today was a very positive day for her. She really impressed me with how smoothly she transitioned to off-leash work.
