Delia had an easy day today. She is nursing a sore foot (hopefully just a growing pain) and so I gave her the day off of training. She has been working so hard a day off won't hurt a thing. She spent a long time on her Placemat (close to two hours!) without making a mistake! Considering what a wigglebutt she is this is saying something.
She is still doing well in her obedience. She will need her folks to practice with her and make obedience her new way of life but so long as they are firm with her she should do fine. She likes leadership but she is still a very goofy young puppy who, it is certain, will make some mistakes here and there.
Right now the bit she is still toiling with the most is that tricky Implied Stay. She just can't help inching across the room to get onto someone's feet. You can also see her inner turmoil sometimes with the Come command. She is seriously thinking about playing instead but she is still Coming on command more often than not.
Tomorrow there won't be a blog but we are going to start videoing her workouts to make the video to show her people when she goes home early in the week. For now she is curled up on her mat with a toy she stole from Ace while the family watches TV.
