This morning we saw Bruce Wayne again. He showed us that he’s got his sit, down, threshold manners, and crate manners down, and his heel continues to improve.
Today we started teaching him to go to his “place”. He doesn’t have a pet cot yet, so we improvised and used his blanket bin! It’s really not about the equipment we use, only that the boundaries of a designated place are clear, and that he understands that staying on his “place” will be rewarded, while leaving that spot before being given his release word will be corrected.
We also started adding in distance and distractions (Alfred is a HUGE helper!), and then we went for a little walk. He was a very tired boy after his lesson.
Next week we will introduce him to the e-collar, and teach his owner how to find the best levels for him as well as how to use it properly to reinforce what he has learned!
