Drax is such a little sprite. He is so fun to work with. His vocabulary has improved so much over the past few days. He struggles to lay Down on command without at least one correction first but I think mostly he just doesn’t laying down when it’s not his idea. He knows the command just fine. He stayed on his Placemat for an hour today and only needed 2 corrections quite early in the exercise.
He is still struggling with jumping up. It’s a very ingrained habit and when he is in working mode he remembers not to but when he is celebrating or playing he still forgets and needs correction. The best correction is to stop the game or affection he is insisting on and ask him to sit before the game or affection can start again. It’s difficult to take the time to stop and do that as he bounces around while you’re just moving along with your day but it’s so far been the most affective response when he is not on his leash.
He is such a happy dude and he has enjoyed this training so far. He likes the challenge and his go-get-em attitude makes him a blast to work with and a funny bloke to have around.
