Daisy and Pepper Board and Train day 4

Well Daisy's obedience is now to the level where I can expect her to understand what is expected of her most of the time. This meant that today I made things a good deal more difficult for her. She had to work today, on-leash, around a strange dog. We started in a Heel walking behind Ace down the driveway. This went fine with only some hackles going up. I then had Ace turn around and walk past us as if passing us on a sidewalk. Other than some hopping and a nervous bark she did fine. She actually did better than I expected her too. When I had Ace following closely behind us it made her very nervous but she consented to laying down next to him without sniffing or barking or pulling once we had made it down the driveway. She was trying really hard and was very nervous about Ace. I then encouraged some play time between her and Ace and it took a little a few minutes but they ended up chasing each other around the meadow. Daisy is still nervous about him but Ace is such an easy-going guy he is pretty easy to like.
Tomorrow we are going to push Daisy's normal obedience. She still toils with Down a little bit but she's getting there. We are also going to practice Heeling around a strange dog when Pepper is with us too. Adding a third dog to the equation will make things a lot more complicated but with Daisy's new focus I am confident that these exercises will help her. Tomorrow we will be using Kylie. This adds another element to the workout because, unlike Ace who is a submissive male, Kylie is a dominant female dog who can be very intimidating even when she is being friendly. If this is too difficult for Daisy we will bring Ace out again and practice with him again before bringing out the boss girl.
I am pleased with where Daisy and Pepper are in their training. Daisy is right on track and Pepper is perfect as always.
