Butters Board and Train day 3

11/25/2013

Well Butters has decided that I am her safe place out at the farm. She wants nothing more than to be in my lap in order to grumble at the playing dogs from a safe distance. I allow this because I don't think she feels very secure any where else other than in her crate. However, she must walk everywhere still and she is getting better about doing that. She can walk around the dogs and even share a water bowl without snapping. She did not like it when she accidentally got knocked over by Ace as he clumsily bounded through the kitchen.
Her obedience is going alright. We have hit a bit of a wall when it comes to Down. She Heels and Autosits like a champ, and she comes when called. She does fine at Implied Stay. But Down she just braces herself and refuses to budge. We will push this hard tomorrow because I think it is coming from a place of stubbornness and not confusion. 
I am going to fashion her a little neck protector. Her skin is so sensitive and thin that she is sometimes getting pinched by her collar and I don't want her to be uncomfortable. It will be a small sleeve (likely cotton) that fits like a scarf on her neck and it will just keep her from getting pinched. She has not had a single accident yet while she is here and so I am going to give her a bit more freedom tomorrow with her water bowl and see how she does. She isn't a fan of the cold and I think that has helped her learn that as soon as she goes she gets whisked back in to the warm.
Tomorrow, as I said, we are going to try to push Down again and we are going to try our hand (paw?) at Placemat.
