Things are starting to blur a bit around here. There is so much yet to do, and the time is really growing short! We did two routes yesterdday. The first was more clicker training, this time, outside. I decided to have her show me a bench, since I might want one, either for a rest, or to wait for a bus. She learned in record time. I've taught my dogs to do this before, but the clicker does shorten the process. And, it's a lot of fun, both for the dog and for me. I'm not sure how crucial it is, but it certainly has its merrits.
The trip in the afternoon was to a pet store. It was a slightly different route from what we had been doing, and that crazy guy with the silent car paid us all a little surprise visit, but the dogs all handled it just fine! Posh did it so well I didn't even know she was doing it! She just stopped, and when I tried to get her to go, she said no, and waited till that silly car went away, and then carried on as usual. Pretty unflappable, my wee Poshi girl!
We had our exit interviews, which were pretty short and painless, and a lecture last night on caring for our dogs. Interesting to have such a thing after having cared for dogs for my whole life, but it doesn't hurt to go over the basics.
While I was in lecture, I got a call from one of her raisers. She tried again, but we were relieving our dogs! So, we'll try again today. It's looking pretty busy, though! Lots to cram in to just a little space. Today should be pretty interesting though! Stay tuned!
