Maddie and Gordie's B&T Day 10

7/21/2012

0 Comments

 
Well today's the day! The pups are going to get one or two more workouts with me today before they get to be reunited with their people. After some hugs, kisses and some butt wiggles we are going to jump right into the first follow-up lesson. Maddie will likely need to stay on the hot collar when off leash outdoors because of her severe bolting problem. This is not something that can be fixed in a few days but she has already made progress. With a hot collar on she no longer tries to bolt at all but we want to keep the hot collar on her for a little while longer to make sure the habit is broken and then we will need to ween her off of the collar in case she has become "collar wise."
The follow up lessons will be on leash at first then we will transition to off leash when the owners feel confident in their ability to give commands, praise, and corrections well and consistently.
The dogs seem to know this is a special day. They have been anxious and talkative all morning. Might video the reunion. 10 days is a long time to be away from family and I don't know who will be happier and more wiggly, the people or the dogs!
Good job, Maddie and Gordie!
They now both know the following commands:
Heel/autosit
Implied
Down at the side
Down from the front
Sit at the side
Sit from the front
Recall
Stay
Place mat
They know these things on leash and off leash (Maddie needs a hot collar when off leash outdoors for now).
