Sydney and Nadia B&T day 4

So this is going to be an update from the weekend since my internet was being lazy and was making life difficult the past two days. The girls are doing really well. Nadia is still quite emotional and keeping her built up has been the biggest task. She learns quickly and loves praise so she is easy to teach but she gets so in her head about things that frighten her or make her nervous that it's easy for her to shut down. Sydney is also learning fast and she is so funny and silly that she is usually easier to tease into working happily. 
I've been working with the girls individually so far but today I am going to start working with them together to ensure that walks together can be calm and peaceful and that they can be on Placemat together without it becoming the Sydney and Nadia Show. Placemat has been more of a challenge than usual because for whatever reason poor Nadia still acts terrified of being inside and so while she does really well on Place I worry that when she gets home and is happy and calm, like she is when she is outside here, that she may need to be retaught a little. If that's the case we can cover it in follow-ups. Hopefully it all translates for her even tho she isn't super active here. Sydney is usually happy to just do whatever I'm doing and so getting her to sit still on Place and not army crawl to my feet has been a very endearing challenge.
I am pleased with how far they have come and we are gonna mostly be proofing the next few days. I adore these sweet girls!
