Chewie has been working on his indoor commands Place, Down, Sit, and Let's Go. He is doing very well with only some small burts of stubbornness. He learned very quickly to stay on Place even though food was dropped on the ground! He is learning to work through distractions, but is doing better than expected. He is ready to start training outside and his e-collar.

Bella went to Tractor Supply! She was very anxious/overstimulated at first. But only parked once at someone out in the parking lot. She heeled through the store pretty well even though she was super distracted. She did have to be corrected to lay down, but once down, she stayed pretty well. Her he'd was on a swivel the whole time. Next time, we will try a park with more open space to work on her focus some more.

A clip of her Heeling in the comments.

Bonnie has been doing great off-leash. I do have to keep a leash on her at this park, so we just had her dragging it. She did very well listening to her commands even with all the distractions around her. Especially all the birds!

Bella is working on her e-collar heeling while dragging the leash. This one is hard for her, but she is slowly making progress. She has a hard time staying in the Heel position, but she doesnt run off. She will practice this more before going off-leash in public. She will be ready to start her field trips on leash by the end of the week.

Chewie has been doing really well with learning how to stay on Place while I do normal everyday chores. He struggled at first with sneaking off the bed when it looked like I wasnt paying attention. Or when I sat on the couch, that was a big one for him. He hated not being able to sit on the couch too. But he is doing well with the new rules and is starting to learn other commands like Down on the floor and Heel.

Bonnie had a great field trip to Tractor Supply yesterday. She did great listening to commands. She was very curious about a couple things, but not fearful or reactive. She was very excited to be there for the most part. She was cautious of the worker but happily took a treat from him. Unfortunately, my video did not turn out well using the meta glasses. Bonnie was out of frame for most of the video. 🤦‍♀️ Here are screenshots of the only moments of her actually being in frame. 🫠

Bella has been learning the e-collar and had her first e-collar recall session outside. She did really well after figuring out what I wanted. Shes a little sensitive, so the feeling of the e-collar was really weird to her. She did so great, that I was able to drop her leash and have her stay close by.

Benji is progressing well. We're just about able to drop the leash. He sometimes needs my help, but honestly, im not even guiding him at all with the leash. Im just holding it. He gets nervous about the slick floors when hes walking on his own, but he got a little bit more comfortable towards the end of our session. He is much better with the Down command on Place and was even able to do it on the hard floor. Something he would not allow at all before.

Chewie has joined us for a 4 week Board and Train!

Chewie is here to learn obedience and manners and work through some issues with resource guarding one of his owners. He has been reactive to the point of biting when people get close to mom.

We have started with Place, Sit, and Down. He is really enjoying his time here and so far has been super easy. He loves to learn. Anything for the treat, he says! He was unsure about the bed at first, but got over that quickly. It took him a little bit to want to lay down, but once he did, he had no problem doing it again. SO excited to see how much he improves while here!

Bonnie and Bella have been doing a good job at paying attention to commands given to them. I am able to handle both of them at the same time fairly easily. Bonnie is just about ready to start her field trips this coming week. Bella is starting her e-collar training. Soon these girls will be off-leash rockstars! 🤩
