Rihm Board and Train day 4

6/14/2013

Rihm is doing very very well. We have now introduced all of his commands, including Place. Place is posing its own difficulty because whenever I put him on his furry blanket he is overcome with a need to murder it. He truly acts as though the blanket has done him some great personal wrong. I am using a squirt bottle to reprimand him for blanket murder and it is surprisingly effective.  Rihm struck me, originally, as a dog who would enjoy having his face squirted with water but it is doing well as a correction for the time being.
When it comes to his obedience he is now on a long line. This is the last step before we put him on the electronic collar. His collar is charging and we plan to use it tomorrow. He is still making mistakes but he knows what is expected of him now. Later this weekend we are going to work him around some strange dogs. The dogs will be trained and under control but we will work up to having him around dogs that are strange and also not in a command to help. He has not shown any dog aggression so far, in fact he has been very submissive and appeasing. But he gets very over excited and needs to learn that even if there are potential doggy buddies around he must still listen to his handler.
For now he is relaxing calmly on the floor while the family watches a movie. He has been absolutely charming in the house and my mother in particular is in love with him.
