Zoey is a sweet little doodle girl who is here for a week of basic training. She has the sweetest personality but man oh man is she all puppy. She is a LOT of dog when you combine her size and her energy level. However she is the perfect age to start work and her first day showed me two things. 1) that she can, in fact, restrain herself and 2) that she actually has pretty good instincts for obedience once she gets into working mode.
She will be puppy for a while but with these two things being true she should take to training just fine and then as she ages into adulthood she will be an absolutely delightful companion. A little training and a little maturity is all this girl needs to be the absolute best Zoey she can be.
Today we worked on Heel/Autosit, Implied Stay, and Come. She did well and enjoyed praise. She REALLY wants to velcro herself to you and that makes Implied Stay hard but she's getting it. She is already autositting like a champ. This will be a fun week for sure.
