Today was Chloe's first full day in a remote collar. She did really well. It helps that she is extremely sensitive to the collar and so can stay at low levels most of the time. In fact, in the house simply using the vibration/pager setting is enough to get her to leave all but the tastiest bits of dropped toddler food.
On our walks she needs reminders regularly but was able to go without her pinch collar. She still is very pouty about the Down command but is getting more and more willing. Where she toils most is with the Implied Stay. However she stayed in a Sit in the driveway while I crossed the street to check the mail. Everyday she comes a little farther. I hope to get her ready to go to the farm for some really truly off-leash work by this weekend. Good girl, Chloe!
