Maci Board and Train day 1

5/28/2018

I adore Great Danes. They are just the sweetest, dopiest, happiest little students I ever get. They aren't exactly creatures of grace or dignity but they enjoy training and always make me laugh. Plus seeing as Great Danes are massive animals training is a must. Maci is a bright young Great Dane girl who is here for two weeks of obedience training. She is impulsive, sweet, and funny but she needs to learn some self restraint seeing as she doesn't realize there's a whole back end she has to control as well.
Today we kept things simple. I introduced her to a pinch collar (Titan, size small) and we worked on Heel with an Autosit, Sit and Down. Her leash manners improved almost instantly but her sit and down are still mild arguments. Mostly she just isn't sure what I'm after. She knows the word "sit" but doesn't quite get why I want her to do it so often an so I got blown off a few times today. All in all though, she did really well. She is buddies with Ace and Sophie but my other boarder, Bella, isn't a huge fan of how Maci plays and so they don't interact much.
Tomorrow we are pushing the basics some more and also working on not being a complete buffalo in the house. She actually did pretty well inside today but she was also on her best behavior because she isn't quite sure how strict I am. She'll come out of her shell a little more in the coming days I'm sure. For now she is snoozing in her kennel and resting up for more training tomorrow.
