Took Lilly to obedience today. Few weeks break due to our holiday. Usually Sophie does her and I watch but she was working today. Really good with her sit stays at a distance. Managed a down stop halfway back during individual recall. Then did a recall with another lady opposite me who was handling 2 dogs. Idea is the dogs cross each other on the recall a bit like the flyball clip. In a sit stay maybe at 15m distance., Lilly recalled perfectly despite the other dogs having a bit of a wander and being potential distractions. Phew. Feeling smug. Small steps...... Jac
Re: Good girl Well done Jac and Lilly , sounds just great ;D The Stay is Sams downfall , he sits immediately and stays for a short time but then comes bounding after me :
Re: Good girl He loves his mum too much ;D Lilly usually takes a loose dog as an opportunity for playtime : Thanks
Re: Good girl Wow great performance,really reassuring after a break too.Clever girl,Lilly and nice for you to enjoy the success too Jac if you are normally sitting this one out.
Re: Good girl Thanks The post holiday honeymoon period will hopefully last. Hasn't so far absconded after the wildlife since we have been home ;D Early start this morning. Now walked and fed. the pair of us are home alone. Lilly snoozing on my bed. I feel the sofa beckoning. .......zzzzzz
Re: Good girl good good girl Lilly!! it is small steps isnt it... ive managed to train brodick out of shrieking in frustration when not allowed to chase Quacking Ducks over past three weeks.will now sit quietly while being told ah ah....a small but very significant for him step lowering his frenzy levels on his way to learning not to Chase. we must celebrate them all! ive just told him about Lilly not wildlife chasing and he is looking solemly at me. mine just had lovely well behaved early walk too, fed, and curled up next to me on sofa...happy times huh....
