Luby had a good day today. She was introduced to all of her commands except for Place. She Heels nicely now, even when her friend Ace is bouncing around her with a stick (though that is very hard), she Sits when I stop but it is not always automatic. Sometimes she still needs a reminder. She will Down with some help and Come is a breeze, she likes coming when called and will sit for praise when she gets to me.
For day two she is doing very well, I hope to start introducing the electronic collar here in the next day or two. To be honest the thing she has the most trouble with is sitting for her food and sitting to be leashed up. I insist that dogs sit and wait until their food is set on the ground and I have been able to stand back up before they start eating. She struggles with this and gets frustrated easily because she -wants- her food. She also gets frustrated when I make her sit quietly for leashing. A remote trainer will allow me to bust her for breaking Sit even if there is a kennel door between us.
She has been charming in the house and very polite. Mostly curious about things as she explores. Ace has been showing her what things are toys and what will get them into trouble for playing with (like the Poodle's coveted Giraffe toy).
Tomorrow we are working more on her obedience. Like I said, she has been introduced to everything but she still needs a TON of practice before I would consider her proofed in anything. Good job, Ms. Luby!
