Macy Board and Train day 6

12/10/2012

0 Comments

 
Today Macy got a bit too overconfident about things and I had to correct her for the first time in days. This often happens with boarders (usually earlier than day 6) and we had a day of arguing about whether or not it is a good idea to sit or lay down when I say so. As usual, I won the argument but not without Macy's significant use of manipulative tactics such as pouting, feigning deafness and or parylization, and trying to tease me into playing with her.
Her biggest issue today was her wanting to lay down instead of sit when I stopped walking. Not a catistrophic issue in the grand scheme of things, in fact, I have found that most herding type breeds default to a down position more readily than other breeds. But the point was that, this early in the training she needed to follow direction. When she gets older and obedience has become a way of life for her her owners can revisit the topic of Auto-Downing rather than Auto-Sitting. For today I tabled the idea.
She is sleeping inside tonight. It is just too cold in the training room for her to get restful sleep.
