Ronnia Third Session – 05/04/2010
Monday today and I’ve not seen Ronnia over the weekend but the clever little girl remembers the hand signal for come and for sit. Today we work mainly on reinforcing what she has already learnt until I am sure that she has really got it.
I add today to her training session the stay command. This is quite difficult for a deaf dog as the tone of your voice is normally the best tool for this, but it doesn’t take her too long to get the idea and by the end of the session she will stay in the sitting position for me to take 3 paces away. Very good!!
I also add the down command which takes her from sitting to lying down. The next step is to see how she is out on a walk with a collar and lead and start teaching her to stay focused outside with all the distractions.
