Linus Board and Train day 1

1/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Today was the first day of training for young Linus. He is a Yellow Lab that I had in my Puppy Preschool group a few months ago. He is all big now and definitely ready for some obedience. His leash manners are non existent and he is manipulative (like most retrievers). He learned Heel/Autosit today only after throwing one whopper of a tantrum. He wanted to rocket around me and play in the puddles. He went through a few different stages of bad temper before he exhausted himself to the point of seeing things my way. First he put the breaks on and thought if he just planted his feet I would let him play. Then he bit the leash and whined. Then he pretended to be physically unable to walk. Then he just barked at me and jumped up and down as we walked. It wasn't until we were on our way back to the house that he was tired enough to simply walk next to me. He at first was walking all sullenly, like I had canceled Christmas. But as soon as he started getting the positive feed back he perked right up and trotted along happily. He was Autositting nicely by the time we got back into the house. Then he hopped right into his kennel and slept for 2 hours.
He just had a BLAST having off leash play time with Lexi the Goldendoodle and Kylie the Akita. He will meet Cowboy the Cattledog tomorrow.
Tomorrow our goal is to start Implied Stay and Down.
