Well our friend Bubba Lee goes home tomorrow. He has made great strides and still has some road to go. However, the work that lies before him is for his owners. It will come in the form of making obedience his way of life. He now knows:
Heel/Autosit
Sit
Down at the handler's left side
Down from the front of the handler
Come (and sit) at the front of the handler
Implied Stay with all commands
Placemat
Stay (for longer than 3 minutes)
These should not be looked at as cute party tricks but his rules for life. If his family is watching a movie then he can be on his Placemat. If they are going on a way then that is the perfect time for Heel/Autosit. Cooking dinner? Down/Stay. Only with constant high expectations will training like this stick. What is nice is that he can do it. He has thrown himself into the training this week and has been a little sponge for the work. He is happier when there are things his people expect him to know and to do. It is like a job for him. And who isn't happier with a job?
