Zia Board and Train day 6

5/15/2013

0 Comments

 
Today was a day full of hard work for Zia. She had three 20 minute workouts (four if you include the walk which required general good manners and a few Recalls) and she only needed real corrections during the first one. She bolted to the door again and tried to get out of working. I feel that once her obedience becomes her daily lifestyle and less of a work-on-it-at-this-specific-time kind of thing she will be less likely to run from workouts out of boredom, stress, or laziness.
She has a tendency towards stressing herself out. She does this mostly when she has tried to anticipate what I am going to ask her to do and she guesses incorrectly. When this happens she becomes pouty and sometimes tries to hide. Even when I only give her a verbal "no." I just build her up from this and give her something she definitely knows how to do so that she can get some praise and feel better.
Tomorrow afternoon she is mostly going to be in her kennel because I have some appointments in town. But in the morning we are going to work on off-leash some more and work in some distractions. She loves frisbee and so a helper is going to play frisbee with my Akita (who admittedly is terrible at frisbee but tries hard anyway) while Zia has to work. Should be hard for her and thus very good for her self restraint.
