Well cute, bouncy, Ava is wrapping things up here at Free State K-9. She goes home on Monday and has a decent foundation in her obedience. She is right now snoozing on Placemat and has been for the last hour and a half. Her attention span is still very, very short. This will be the biggest thing for her and her owners to overcome. They must commit to correcting unwanted behavior appropriately. If they let little things slide they will notice a lot of backsliding in her training. They don't have to be drill sergeants but they do have to be willing to put their foot down if she gets too silly.
Ava is jogging nicely now. If she gets too happy she will pounce around but a quick correction gets her back where she belongs.
On an interesting side note, she randomly murdered her ball she has had in her kennel all week. Not sure what it did to offend her but it is no more.
Tomorrow the task on hand is to take Ava's glamour shot for the Yearbook page of the website and to take her go-home video. The video will showcase her obedience so that her owners see what it should look like. Happy girls like Ava are usually very happy (i.e. useless) when they see their beloved families after a week away from them.
I don't post blogs on Sunday so look to Monday for a final word on how Ava did.
