BOING BOING BOING! We have an energizer bunny on our hands. We took a nice long walk up to the big pasture today and worked for about 15 minutes on the way back. When we got back and the two older dogs were tuckered out she was ready to PLAY! So she amused herself with pestering the cat (don't worry, the cat is a very good sport and indulged her for a few minutes while I straightened her crate out a little).
I am comfortable saying that Macy knows and is reliable with Heel/Autosit. She had a hard time with Down earlier today but now she just has to sit and think for about 4 seconds before she lays down and looks a little bored. Her Implied Stay is getting better but she still has a hard time if she thinks I am going to go have an adventure without her. Tomorrow we are going to keep on fine tuning everything and working a long distance Recall. If she does well we may learn Placemat in the afternoon. I am afraid a good chunk of the middle of the day may be a bit boring for her as I need to go into town for a few weekly lessons with some other clients. Saturday is always demanding for my schedule.
She and I enjoyed some cuddle time on the floor today in the living room. She curled up in my lap and after wiggling around for a few minutes (and booping me in the face a few times with her little foot). This little girl has a lot of energy but she is extremely people oriented and if she thinks she has displeased someone she acts very downtrodden indeed. In fact- during her last workout I didn't even bother turning on the remote to her electronic collar. She is very sensitive to the word "No."
