A little bit of training each day does a lot. Change it up and make it fun! We always start with how to exit the crate and have some time outside before training. We worked on sit, down, side, place, recall and introduced touch. This is a sneak peek into our training sessions now that she is recovered. Starting to shape the behaviors that I want. I also added a snippet on how to introduce touch.

The cast is officially off! But 2 more weeks of rest. So she is getting all sorts of cognitive toys to occupy her. She is learning to sit before exiting the crate. We are also practicing her sit and down on command and her leash walking is improving 😉. I can't wait to let her run and play again!

So a little update on Ester. She had an accident last week. She broke her leg.😅😢 she was in a splint for a few days and she got a cast yesterday! But her foot has doubled in size so, picture number 2 you can see us working on a down and adding in cooperative care with a cold pack. She has been so great through it all. Everyone at the vets office loves her! ❤️ Looks like she is healing well. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful pup.

PLEASE SHARE! This little sweetheart is in need of a home. She is a year old. I have had the pleasure of working with her and she has a ton of potential! Her family situation is becoming broken. She had a lot of personality, she gets the zoomies when she is frustrated. She caught on really quickly to down without a lure! She needs work with leash walking and she was starting to learn place. She is around 30 pound and has very petite feet so I dont expect her to grow much bigger.
