Happy girl doing Recall.
Today was a great day for Piper. Her recall is solid enough to take her up to the big pasture during our walks for a good run around. She was doing off leash obedience at a fair distance and only making a few puppy mistakes (like army crawling closer to me when I ask her to lay down).
She is also doing better at restraining herself. She isn't jumping up on the door anymore. She is sitting for her food, before she goes outside (that is the HARDEST thing in the world), she is choosing not to jump up on people. Even today, I called her and she came sprinting towards me at full speed and I said "Uhuh! No jumping!" But she was already in the air. However she ended up doing a flyin belly flop into the grass just next to me instead of into my legs. She was very pleased with herself.
Right now she is laying on a blanket with her boyfriend, Bear, and sleeping sweetly. Tomorrow we are working on her motion commands, and her Implied Stay when in a Down. Half way through the training I am very pleased with where this kid has gotten. She has some growing up to do but she is fast becoming a team player instead of a bully.
