Yesterday (day 5) became pretty busy in the afternoon and so I was unable to make a blog entry but training went so well I have to talk about it. We had an indoor off leash lesson and it went extremely well. He did scoot off once but after some redirecting he was back at my side and heeling like a champ. He worked around treats strewn about, toys, other dogs (one being a strange dog he didn't know) and he was able to focus and keep up with me. Recall was a little difficult for him because he had to ignore the treats on the floor but other than a quick sneaky sniff he came all the way across the room while ignoring them.
Today we are working outside on a long-line again and we will work at least once indoors off-leash.
Baxter is going to have the training room to himself after today as Dane is picked up this afternoon. But don't worry, he won't be lonely. Some of his training is going to move into the house-proper as we work on the "bed" command and being polite while people are eating near him.
