Felix Board and Train day 8

8/29/2013

1 Comment

 
Day 8 and doing fine. Felix is doing a good job with his obedience. He is now ready to start being really challenged around other animals. I am going to be calling in a few advanced clients who would like a free upkeep lesson to see if they would like to come out with their dogs and act as a distraction for Felix. He is now very good on his 20' line and he is doing okay completely off leash in the training room. 
I have been using a 6" training tab (it is basically a tiny leash) in the training room to allow me to easily correct him without a leash dragging on the ground but also without hurting my fingers by trying to grab his collar. He at first did not like the tab and when I went to correct him he reverted to an old back-talking habit of trying to grab the leash with his paws, however with the leash being so short he actually ended up engaging the collar and giving himself a pretty nasty correction. He didn't try back-talking again. His only issue with off leash is that he gets so wiggly and happy that he is just a tiny bit sloppy when there isn't a leash on. The leash makes him calm down a little and seems to give him a sense of propriety.
Tomorrow we are doing more with off leash but other than his exercise we are keeping him inside. It will simply be too hot tomorrow to do much with the dogs outside.

I can just imagine him doing his happy wiggle. Will be glad to see him tomorrow!
