By day 5 it is my goal to have the dogs where I would want them at the end of a one week Board and Train, more or less. And I am happy to report that that is pretty much where Savannah is. Her only toiling point right now is the Implied Stay. It's getting there. She knows what her job is. But she sometimes just can't help herself and she springs up to join whatever action she feels like she is being deprived of.
The next few days are tricky. Because of the Winter Weather Advisory and the Wind Chill Advisory scheduled for the weekend we are going to limit her outside time. So a lot of practice in the house and training room with quick runs outside for potty and play but we aren't going to be outside for longer than 10 minutes at a time.
I am happy with her progress right now and I am looking forward to her moving on to off leash early next week. It should be fun! We are also going to start incorporating a second dog to her walks to make sure she can keep her composure even when her buddy is walking with her.
We are right where I would want to be for Day 5. Good girl, Savannah.
