Well, Bailey and Ace go home tomorrow and I am pleased with what they have accomplished. They now know:
Heel/Autosit
Sit
Down from the left side and from the front
Implied stay
Stay
Come
and Place
They also know informal commands like "Careful!" meaning they have gone too far, and "Lets go" if they are being pokey They respond to the word "No" very nicely.
Bailey is a little sloppier and slower moving than Ace. Ace is pretty sharp with his obedience and can be expected to comply with commands pretty quickly. Bailey takes a few seconds to process things before she does it but should be held to the same expectations as Ace, just give her a bit longer to do it.
Ace is better about going into and staying in his kennel quietly. He does much better if he has a peanut butter Kong toy to keep him occupied.
I will miss these two. They are so goofy and wonderful, the house will seem very big and quiet without them. But they will be excited to see their people and start their new obedient lifestyle with them.
