I wish I could have gotten a video of Ziva's first bit of freedom with her new remote trainer. For 3 days she had not had the opportunity to really run and this girl is fast. I put her collar on her and we practiced the Come command a few times on the long leash and then the leash came off and she jubilantly bounded around the yard. Then we had a long play session with Zeus and Ace.
All of her commands are fairly reliable off-leash except for Heel. She seems confused about whether or not she needs to stay right on my left or if she can float around. This just needs a little cleaning up. Her Down from the front command also needs some fine tuning because she tends to end up on my feet instead of where I parked her.
Tomorrow we are going to practice more with her remote collar and we are going to do some Placemat. But so far the remote collar has been very successful for her. Her recall has been very reliable so far, even when she was chasing the kitty for a second. Good girl, Ziva!
