Ruby and Ripley Board and Train day 2

3/31/2015

1 Comment

 
Well, as promised I was booked solid for most of the day today. The pups were worked early morning and mid morning and then they got the rest of the afternoon off while I was in lessons. However, their short work day was not without it's successes! Ripley is now Autositting after the heel most of the time and Ruby is getting pretty good at Down (after a bit of pouting). 
They are catching on quickly to the Heel and it is getting better and better. I look forward to moving them on to the off-leash stuff but I want to make sure they have the basics down pretty well before we go harder. The biggest concern is that their Come command was pretty hesitant today. I don't like taking leashes off while the Come command isn't perfect so we will work on that a little more tomorrow. 
One nice thing is that these guys are so short that we can work in the training room without falling over ourselves. This meant that we could make up for lost time today with a workout after it got dark. 
These kids are settling in nicely. I keep them mostly kenneled together so they can get their snuggle time in. Ripley didn't like working without Ruby but Ruby didn't seem to mind when it was her turn to work alone. Brothers can be pesky I guess.
Tomorrow we are back to normal and so they should get plenty of work done and I hope to start introducing them to their new collars on Thursday. So far so good!

We are so pleased that you are taking such loving care of our little pups. Your account of their behaviors are spot on to what we see.
