Lexi Board and Train day 5

1/9/2013

Wow, Lexi sure did turn things around today. We made huge progress in her obedience. I think what did is is that she finally relaxed enough to play with me and once we played one good game of Run Like Crazy she considered me her buddy and working became fun. She now consistently Heels, Autosits, Downs (from the side is a little better than from the front) and she is okay on Placemat. She was on her mat for around an hour today and only made one mistake. Her problem areas are the Implied Stay and the Recall, though her Recall got much better today. 
Her recall is now solid enough, though not perfect, that I feel comfortable to take her up to the big pasture for a good runaround. Even if her Recall isn't perfect she is sticking around me nicely and she could definitely use a good hike.
The ticket to success for this girl is going to be working with her after she goes home. Much of the work will fall to her owner. Consistency, firm handling, and well timed praise are going to be essential for her to get all out of this Board and Train as she can. Obedience will have to be a way of life, and not just a bag of tricks, or she will likely back slide into stinkerdum.

Emily......I am so looking forward to seeing Lexi and all you have taught her in obedience. I will call you when I am on my way to give you a better estimate of pick up timing. She sounds like she is doing okay.
