Macy Board and Train day 5

We are getting closer to the end of Macy's stay with us and now we are mostly just trying to clean up her new skills. Her biggest issue is her tendency to fidget before laying down. Instead of laying down nicely she turns in a circle and tries to lay on my feet. Funny enough, she does not do this if she is wearing a physical leash. Today we got up early and took a walk in the fog (we both got pretty muddy) and worked on radius training. This means she was not in her formal Heel but she was allowed to romp and play within an appropriate radius around me. Without any direction from me she chose to stay within 30 feet of me. At around 30 feet away from me she would sprint back to me and make sure I was okay before going back to her project or adventure she was having. The only time I had to admonish her for straying too far was when she wandered into the horses area, which is off limits. She didn't need a collar correction, just a verbal call to come back and she came back to me just fine and sat on my foot.
We learned Placemat today and will be practicing it tomorrow. So far she seems to really like her mat. But she hasn't been asked to stay on it yet while fun things are happening around her.
