Max Board and Train days 6 & 7

1/21/2017

Max is doing great. Friday we properly introduced his remote collar and started making steps to going off-leash. He responds well to it and the vibration is something he is sensitive to so hopefully we can get him to a nice low-level of correction and then perhaps only have to use it rarely. My one concern so far has been a tendency to try to hide from corrections when the leash is off. I need to build his confidence up in his ability to get the right answer even if he needed a correction and that he doesn't need to run from a correction. For obvious reasons an off-leash dog who runs from corrections is not ideal. But he is very responsive to praise so just a bit more practice and I am sure we will be seeing more confidence.
Today he got pretty well a day off. Saturdays are my biggest day of the week for my weekly lesson clients and so he spent a little extra time relaxing. But tomorrow I am going to work with him on a 20' line and his remote to give him as much mistake making potential before actually removing his leash on Monday or Tuesday. I think he enjoyed his break and will be ready to get back to it on Sunday.
