Loki did well today. I am working on putting the finishing touches on his off leash stuff. He won't be perfect when he goes home on Monday (no dog is) but his owners will have a very strong foundation on which to build and adjust his training into a way of life for him. His recall, interestingly enough, is one of his better commands! It's Heel he is being a pain about now. I've had this happen before where the simple things get a bit foggy after working on the more complex things.
Tomorrow Loki is going to get a bit of a low key day. I am putting the leash and prong collar back on and we are going to take a hike down to the lake and really work on that Heel and get him pepped up about it again. Then back at the farm we will remove that leash again and see if we can't get some better off leash. What he has been doing when asked to Heel today was either feign deafness or bolt to the door saying in his best toddler voice "I DON'T WANNA!" I think he is just getting a little burned out. He is ready to be back with his family. I hope the change in scenery down by the lake will help make things less monotonous for him.
