Mr. Reggie is back to finish his on-leash training! I am very happy to have this sweet Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier back for 5 days. You may remember he stayed with us for a few days a couple of months ago to learn to walk on a leash and now he is back to learn Sit, Down, Stay, Come, and Placemat.
Reggie did some nice Heel work for me today thought he did need some corrections at first and he also picked up the habit of trying to stop training by sitting or laying down and refusing to move. This is called "dropping anchor" and is a form of passive-aggressive back talk. Forutnately Reggie was easy to get going again with a small correction and lots of encouragement. We also introduced Down (which he seems to sort of know already though not very well) and the Implied Stay.
Reggie definitely remembered his friend Ace and they had a long game of tag in the back yard. Now Reggie is settled in his kennel with his toy and he is ready for bed. More tomorrow about how this nice guy is doing. So glad to see him again!
