Pearl Board and Train day 5

3/20/2013

I missed yesterday's post but Pearl has been doing very well. She now lays down from the side and from the front on command with 80% reliability. If the cat is around I have to correct her but she is getting it. I am actually a little surprised at how well she is doing with Placemat. In a calm environment she has stayed on her mat for 2 hours straight without getting off of it. But if I played with a toy or ran around she would likely make a mistake and get up. Children playing might make it difficult for her but it will certainly build her character a bit.
I need to get ready to take her video and glamor shots for the website. It is hard to believe she goes home in 2 days! It feels like she has only been here for a little while but then I think back and she has made so much progress! I am very pleased with her. Terriers are very rewarding to train because it is such a difficult thing to harness that focus (or lack there of) and turn it to something constructive (Dane, I am thinking of you here). They are also such fun dogs to have around. She plays non-stop with her buddy Loki and those two make the whole family laugh as we watch them play tug-of-war or wrestle together. Loki is so much bigger than she is and he could easily win both of these games but he lets her win sometimes just to be nice. He will roll over and let her jump on him and grab his ear like she won the fight and he just smiles and waves his legs in the air as if to say "Oh, you have killed me with your giant strength" and Pearl just eats it up. They are quite the odd couple.
