Well we are nearing the end of our time with Dane and so our goal is to REALLY start pushing the distractions. Treats and toys and his friends Ted and Kylie on place mats on the floor of the training room and outside we are going to have strange dogs working at the same time as him and maybe we will even have a visit from one of the barn cats!
It is yucky outside today so we kept the outdoor workout short today. Maybe we will head out again later if it dries up soon. But if it doesn't we will work hard on his "Place" command which is really what is giving him some trouble right now. He isn't being defiant as much as he is struggling with his doggie ADD. While working on it yesterday he got down-trodden and pouty after only 15 minutes of working on "Place" because he kept getting into trouble. We are hoping for a little bit longer today.
We got a good jog next to the bicycle yesterday and he very quickly got the hang of not ever passing in front of the bike and always staying a safe distance while not being at the end of the leash. I may even risk saying that he was a little tuckered out afterwords.
As we wrap things up with Dane I look forward to handing the leash over to his mother but I know I will miss the excitement and sass he brings to the tra
