Today I had two really good training opportunities with Hattie on our walk. The first was she was in a sit/wait the other side of a stile whilst I climb over walk about 20 meters so that she can't see me, recall her. Today there were about 20 ramblers walking through the footpath, Hattie could see them in all their colourful clothing, different hats, walking sticks, rucksacks all chatting etc. I got her in a sit/wait and I walked right across the paddock about 25 meters whilst she watched, recalled her and she totally ignored the ramblers in favour of me, well a fish treat actually Second opportunity, walking across the playing field where again the Primary School children all 100 of them were running, playing ball, screaming etc. she was rock solid walking on a slack lead I know she's a mature lady of 7 years old, but still proud of her none the less xx
Re: Unexpected Training Opportunities And justifiably proud! No chance we would manage this though Lilly is just a whippersnapper You are getting on well with your training.
Re: Unexpected Training Opportunities I can only dream of that level of self control in my dogs. Hattie you rock x
Re: Unexpected Training Opportunities Top job, Hattie! You really never know what's round the corner on a walk, do you? ;D ;D
Re: Unexpected Training Opportunities Good girl Hattie....Dex might have been bribed past the ramblers but not the school children x
