Yesterday we mostly just got to know each other and started work on his leash manners. Today we brushed up on the basics like Heel, Sit and Down and introduced him to his remote collar. He is really quite sensetive to it but he is having a hard time focusing long enough to realize he is being corrected for something so I am being very careful to use my voice as a marker so that he identifies the sensation with me and not just an invisible consequence. He is already showing improvement but I am taking it slowly so that we don't end up confused. Tomorrow we are doing more basic stuff and introducing Placemat.
Rudy arrived yesterday for 2 weeks of advanced training. He is a perfect candidate for it. He is a young, healthy, bull-in-a-China-shop lab who is very sweet natured but also smart enough to get into trouble. We are going to work on his self restraint and his ability to calm down and be a bit more quiet in the house.
