Maitri Board and Train day 7

5/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Maitry is now a week into his training and he is doing well. He was a little stubborn today and mostly tried to get out of work by pretending to be busy with other things. When asked to lay down he would army crawl to a clump of grass and start snacking or if he was told to stay he would start searching for something to distract him. I always made sure he complied with what he was asked to do and we would repeat things he didn't do up to his standards. In the afternoon I took him on a long romp around the property and kept things very low key and after that his obedience was better so maybe he was just getting bored with the monotony of his workouts.
I have introduced all of his commands and he has been getting more and more responsive. I have worked on "go get it" and "leave it" a bit and he is improving but "go get it" is still not holding his focus very well. I have not been able to work on "quiet" because, bless his heart, he has been silent as a mouse this whole week. He has barked maybe once. I don't know if it is because he is out of his element or because we don't have anything worth barking at (no goats here) but he has not been very talkative. He hasn't even barked at the horses or the donkey. We will see if I can get him to bark here in the next few days but if not I will have to just send his owners home with some things to try and we can cover "quiet" in a follow-up lesson.
Tomorrow we will be getting more work done but I fear with the weather we will mostly be working on Placemat and other things we can do in the house because the weather is supposed to be a bit soggy tomorrow. Overall, Maitri is still a star pupil. Good boy, buddy!
