Today we tossed her into the deep end and started everything. Heel, Sit, Down, Implied Stay (which she rocked because if she is feeling pouty she likes to sit still anyway), and Come. Heel went very well,Sit she kind of knows but isn't going to do it without help just yet. Down she loves as soon as she realizes what we are doing but she fights you to get there. Come is a game. She bounds towards be but hasn't learned the finer points of stopping yet. So we have some things to work on. I am looking forward to getting to know this stinker some more as the week goes on. Welcome Petunia!
Petunia is a sweet little harlequin Great Dane puppy who is here for a week of obedience training using a remote collar. She has a mild temperament and while this makes her a really sweet dog it can make training a little delicate as her feelings are easily hurt if a handler is too harsh. But she responds well to the collar so that helps a lot. It is more that she doesn't like getting an answer wrong and so she gets pouty.
