Today is the halfway point for Valentine. She is doing fantastic. We are now reliable without a leash on. We have established a boundary at the farm and she is learning to respect fences and established boundaries. It will require some work on her people's part to establish boundaries at home and keep an eye on her for a while when she gets home to make sure she understands but she is showing me that she can understand the concept of boundaries.
Her obedience is very good. Implied Stay is pretty good and while Down at my side is solid if I try to park her at a distance she tends to ooze around until she gets closer to me. This is cute until one wants to put her into a Down with a boundary (like the paddock fence) between them and her. So we are making sure she gets more solid with this.
I am pleased with Valentine and am looking forward to the next 5 days. She is a good little Wigglebutt.
