Gracie is working on confidence building! The neighborhood kids were out playing and making noise as kids do. Gracie, who is usually very comfortable in the backyard, was not liking the loudness at all. She was booking it for the back door as we were having our playtime. This made a good opportunity to work on her confidence and build some trust.

We brought out the Place bed as she knows the Place command really well. She has gotten so much better at staying in command when I walk away. But I was super impressed that she stayed when she was scared. This shows that she is trusting me more and is building confidence and impulse control!

Gracie has started her e-collar training. She is a very sweet, scared baby. So she was struggling with her stays as I walked away because she wants to be under me at all times. Especially when she hears unexpected sounds. To build confidence she has to learn to be away from me and trust that she is safe. The e-collar is helping her understand what I'm asking and she is doing so much better!

Fry and Leela showing off their off-leash indoor obedience before going home tomorrow!
They both did very well. Fry has gained confidence and Leela has become more gentle! Looking forward to continuing their training in their own home for the next 3 months!

Gracie has been working on her leash walking indoors, but she has built enough confidence and trust in me to transition outdoors now. She did great and followed my lead really well. She even trusted me when we had a guy approach to get to his car. She stayed in command, although she was suspicious, there was no growling or any reactivity. She even was able to ignore him at his car, focus on me, and work on her sit command!

Fry and Leela have been training together. We have been working on their Heeling together, but today we added the e-collar as their correction. We started out using leash corrections, this is at the first half of the video. Im pretty much steering them with the leash when they get out of position. Since they have the hang of where I want them when walking together, I can now use the e-collar so that handling the leashes is a lot easier. They did very well!

Fry is also working on his off-leash Recall. Fry is a lot softer of a temperament than Leela. He likes to be led instead of leading. This makes him a little more cooperative, but he also needed a correction here and there. When I call him to me, he is supposed to Sit until I "free" him. This is to make sure he stays with me instead of grabbing his treat and running off again. Another thing that's important to teach incase of emergencies.

Leela has been working on her Recall off-leash. We have been focusing on her reaction time and her response to the e-collar when corrected. When I call her, I want her to immediately come to me. This is important incase of an emergency. I want her to come running and be excited to come to me, so rewarding heavily for recalls is important. I also want her to understand the correction when she chooses to ignore me. When you hear me repeat myself or say "no", I am correcting her at the same time. Her response should be to stop what she is doing, and immediately come to me. Notice how I still reward and I still praise her even after a correction. I want her to WANT to come to me. Its important to have a really good reward to create enthusiasm and a reliable recall. She did great!

Gracie has made a lot of progress with her Down command!

She is still warming up to me. When its playtime, she loves me. If she's on a potty break, she loves me. When we're training, she gets suspicious. However, she is letting me do what I need to do. She let's me physically move her when needed. She still isnt consistent with taking treats. She does like doggie squeeze cheese, though! It highly depends on what is going on around her. But we are making steady progress on building trust and her focusing on me.

We will be working more on the stay portion of Place/Down. This is really going to build confidence as she likes to stick close by my side when she is unsure. As she learns to trust me, she will build confidence as we go!

Fry is also learning his e-collar. He does really well with his commands, but is more weirded out by the feeling of the e-collar than Leela. We will be working on a leash, until he understands that the e-collar feeling means the same thing. He is such a sweet boy and wants to learn. He is just a little more on the sensitive side.
