First of all, is it Guber? Goober? I just am convinced I am spelling this girl's name correctly. On her tag it is spelled one way and on her food it is spelled another. I guess we can have fun with it!
Today was FANTASTIC for our friend Goober. We had our first lesson with her dragging her leash in the training room and she only bolted once when a leaf got caught on the loop of the leash and started chasing her. Leaves- they're only fun until they bite back. She has shown many instances during house-time when she restrains herself from jumping on furniture, people, or Ted (FSK9's "Grumpy Grandpa").
Tonight she had her first completely off leash lesson, again in the training room) and she did really well. Bolted to the door twice but I did not have to go get her. She came back to me willingly with a "No!" and a repeat of the command. She is VERY sensitive to tone of voice. I do not know if I would trust her off leash outside at this point but we are going to start trying it in the (fenced) garden and on our walk with a tether on her which gives her 20 feet of mistake making opportunity.
All in all, I've seen a very different dog over the past 2 days but still our cute
