How was my day? Glad you asked! Pull up a chair.
I started the day out videotaping a session of Behavior Adjustment Training for a leash reactive Anatolian Shepherd. My kids graciously rushed their morning school preparations to assist me. We staged encounters with four other dogs and made some good progress.
Then I set a rabbit trap. My goal for the week is to teach two half-crazed cattle dogs to come when called, even when they are engaged in hunting their "achilles heel."
I got a break mid-morning, so I did some maintenance training with my own three dogs -- mostly obedience stuff. I need to start warming Alie up for pheasant season.
Did a session with Rex, a Labrador that is going through my retriever training program. We are working on his conditioned retrieve, and he is coming along nicely.
I finished a Level One Obedience program with a Golden Doodle in Stapleton. Very smart dog. Great personality too. She picks up new skills in about two tries and then gets bored.
I now am on my way to do a follow-up session for Coda, the Bernese Mountain Dog who recently graduated from my Level One Obedience board-and-train program.
