Well very little work got done on Sunday. I will work in almost all weather but I won't put dogs through a blizzard warning for the sake of obedience. So we spent our day cozy inside while the world outside turned white.
Today Marise had a TON of fun in the snow and we also had our first remote collar work outs. She transitioned pretty well but she also didn't make many mistakes and so we didn't get a ton of practice with the corrections. While it's fantastic she didn't make many mistakes it's important that we get a good feeling for what sort of remote corrections work for her so I hope we get some more time to troubleshoot tomorrow.
One mistake she did make was that instead of sitting when we stopping in the Heel she would flop to the ground and stick her face, gleefully, in the snow. It was so cute how delighted she was by it that I didn't want to correct her for being so happy. But I did encourage her back up to a sit after her little snow celebrations and that worked well. She sure did make me laugh today.
