    Brag on Brianna

    Well, we started our second go-round of Basic Manners 2 tonight. 7 weeks of classes and she did way better then anyone thought. I was worried about the new group of dogs and people but also because it was at a later time and we normally have a pretty early bedtime. But she followed instructions 75% of the time and took a treat about as often.

    I figured out that 'touch' (nose to my hand) is working well at getting her back in the game. That and liver brownies have us smiling. I'm so proud of her!! She had fun too, head and tail were up anytime she wasn't laying down.

     I love "touch". That's how I get Joker to check in with me on walks. He has to make sure he makes contact or I will have him do it again before he goes running off. Trying that with Lillie but it's not clicking.Confused

    I'm not the only person that has success with 'touch'! Woo! Congrats on her good work!

    Are you clicking and treating the 'touch' during walks?

    In class her loose leash walking is great... in the parking lot its horrible!!

    • Gold Top Dog

     Yes but Lillie could care less. She just wants to RUN!!! As long as she comes when I call her I am happy with that right now. She has been doing great with her recall. So I will just keep working on that for now then put more effort into her touch.

    Oh, I meant are you clicking and treating Joker for the touch?

     Oh yeah!! Joker is a fast learner. I think I said touch and clicked 3 times and he got it!!! Now if only Lillie had the same drive to learn as him. Lol. I still love her though.
