Petunia Board and Train day 6

11/12/2016

1 Comment

 
Sweet little (giant) Petunia goes home tomorrow. She has come a long way and I am sure that with the right practice she will become an outstanding adult dog. This is not her owners' first rodeo with me so they know the drill about making this a way of life and not letting her "opt out" of listening. She does try to do that though and it's something to watch for. If told to Sit (for example) and she thinks it will lead to an end to whatever fun she is having she will bound away and need a correction. Also if she is told to Down (for example) but she gets stressed out and overwhelmed she will throw a little tantrum and need to be corrected and praised through it. The worst thing you can do with a dog who "opts out" is to allow them to do so. Remote collars make life ten times easier with this habit because even if she looks at you and says "bye" and lope away instead of sitting you can easily correct her and boy does she change her mind fast when she feels that vibration warning.
I am looking forward to her go-home lesson tomorrow because I think her people will enjoy it but also because I get to see her BIG brother Zeus who I trained a while ago and see how well he has retained his training. It is always gratifying to have customers return with another dog. There is no higher compliment.

I'm really happy for Petunia. She's done a wonderful job in the unit. I'm sure that she'll live a happier life with her new family. I hope that she's taken care by her new caretakers. I'll be checking up on more news regarding her new life in her new home.
