Today was day one for little Macy. Macy is a Miniature Australian Shepherd who I actually had in a Puppy Preschool class a few months ago. She is a very sweet and snuggly girl who has a spitfire side when she wants to. She is being trained on an electronic collar so the training itself should go relatively quickly.
Today for our first few workouts we only worked on Heel/Autosit. She got heel in about 5 minutes and she sat down completely without help or correction during our last lesson. One hiccup we had that was kind of funny is that she keep trying to heel Claven, my husband, even though I was the one talking to her and giving her the command. She seems to really be a guy's dog.
I am looking forward to pushing her even harder tomorrow as we start work on the implied stay and the down. She has already learned that she is the fastest dog out here and LOVES teasing the Akita into trying to chase and catch her.
