Betsy training!

I don't know anything about placeboards, but she looks so calm doing it! Her leash walking is lovely. And I loved how you included the bit of crocopup at the end, but she responded immediately to your "thank you", nicely done.

 

Very impressive with the placeboard and I did love the play with the stream of water at the end.

 

I perhaps shouldn't let her do that, she is starting to attack the tap. She loves it though.

 

So disappointed, the video wouldn't play for me.

 

Managed to see it by going to a different browser! She looks far better than I thought she would from your previous comments, thought I would see a Tasmanian Devil biting you I loved the way I could see her working out what got her the treat and the way she enjoyed the water. She is going to be fun.

 

She is pretty much fine now when she has something to do. She gets frustrated when training (and treats) end, and starts snapping and biting then. She also snaps and bites when she doesn't have anything to do before training starts. I'm trying to get a good settle going, to give her a default behaviour around humans but that's still very much work in progress!

 

She is so beautiful! I love the way you can see her really thinking things through, always a positive sign. Bramble is sitting next to me and everytiime you clicked she pricked her eyes up, spotted betsy and nose bumped the screen in excitement!

 

HeeHee - I love the way dogs can hear training on videos and get excited. Means they love their training, I think!

 

@JulieT, I think you are winning the battle

 

I think so! Slowly!

 

She is SO flipping cute.

You're doing an amazing job. I've decided that when I get my next puppy I'm sending it to you for the first 6 months for training. That ok?

 

HaHa - only if it doesn't bite!

 

Oh no! I'd get one of the non-bitey ones

 

I made such a mistake in not ordering one of those this time!

 

Haha, oops!

 

I went to the vets last night and saw the most beautiful black lab puppy and watching Betsy has made me think and it helped me make my mind up. Sod all the other dogs I,'ve been looking at it s black lab for me
why fight it, they really .are the best

 

She's getting so big! Coming along very well, too and she clearly enjoys it

 

Betsy is SO like Charlie it's scary. Although this time round, I'm prepared for it....and doing a lot of things differently.

Tonight on the field Betsy was so Charlie like! She even ran straight over a tennis ball and kept running - and I really mean kept running. She ran out of field before she ran out of enthusiasm.

Lovely recall though. If a bit painful....

just like Charlie by julieandcharlie julieandcharlie, on Flickr

 

Wow, she really flings herself at you, doesn't she lol.

 

Hilarious. I could feel the impact myself.
