Well we are getting ready to say goodbye to Miss Lexi. She has been a very spirited student who was very gratifying to work with. She challenged me more than once during this week but I am pleased with what we achieved.
She now knows and understands:
Heel and Autosit
Sit
Down from the Front
Down from the Side
Come
Stay (implied and formal)
Placemat
And house manners like waiting at doors and staying off of furniture.
I will have to take a picture of her and her friend Linus. They sure do love each other. I even had to pull Lexi out of Linus' crate last night. They both hopped into his crate together and snuggled right up for a slumber party.
I am certain that she will continue to challenge people she thinks she can manipulate but her owner and I will have a lesson tomorrow about follow through and making corrections count.
I fear it will feel a little boring here without Lexi keeping things interesting.
