365 Days of Dog Training Days 9-11

We have continued to work on down stay on the mat and Lulu is doing great!  Next we will add some distractions!

365 Days of Dog Training Day 8

Today was Day 1 of Week 2 of our Dog Training.  I have been spending 5 minutes a day every day working with Lulu.  Here's what I have noticied

1.  She is much calmer now 

2.  She doesn't bark as much and it is so much easier to get her to hush the first time I ask her too

3.  I am enjoying my time with her so much more - it is easy to forget how smart your dog is when you are frustrated with them all the time!

4.  She is not as needy or pushy with the other dogs - she knows she gets that short one on one time and she loves it!  She doesn't have to fight for attention so much of the time.

This week we are working on learning a down stay on a mat.  She already knows how to lie down on command so I am introducing the mat and teaching her to love it!  

Here is today's video!
