Savanah had a good day. We went out to the farm and practiced hard at our leash manners. Heel/Autosit was quickly picked up and she was doing better with loose leash walking even when not in a command by the end of the day. She is still distractable and that won't change in 2 weeks but you can already see that she is thinking more about what she is doing which is the first step to self-restraint.
We also worked some more on Implied Stay which is hard for her. She wants to be in the thick of the action and so it is counter intuitive for her to park it while I walk off but she was improving in the afternoon work out.
This evening she spent a few hours with my husband while he tinkered around his office. He usually regards my boarders with polite indifference but he and Savannah have struck up a friendship and so I imagine she will be enjoying Placemat in his office again in the evenings as the week goes on. It's really pretty sweet.
Tomorrow we are going to work on Down and Come along with what we've been doing so far.
