Sansa Board and Train Day 4

Sweet Sansa goes home tomorrow. I am gonna miss her snuggles! She is one of the sweetest dispositions I’ve had in a long time. What comes with that territory is she is a big giant wimp about training. She knows her commands and when she feels confident she can do them really well! If she is nervous though her default is to lay down. Her owner’s big homework assignment will be to boost her confidence by warmly praising obedience ESPECIALLY when she is stressed while also insisting she do what was asked of her regardless of whatever thing Sansa has assigned a stressor to. She thrives on a calm handler who doesn’t get frustrated but who also doesn’t praise her anxiety. She also learned who she can manipulate into feeing sorry for her and she will lay those big brown hound eyes on THICK if she thinks it will be an advantage.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sansa and watching her enjoy her training.
