Clementine headed out today. She's off to be with another trainer while I take a week off. Clementine should be fine and do well, especially with someone sticking with what Clementine needs and helping her continue her progress forward. Clementine turned out to be a pretty good girl from where she was. She still has a bit of a journey, but she has a different mindset and understanding of life with humans, which will make the journey easier and more enjoyable for her.

Gracie and Chuck headed home today, happy to be back with their humans. However, they will be surprised to find that when they return home, the same structure, rules, and boundaries they have learned will still be in place. Not only did the dogs learn a new way of life, but their owners also learned what needs to change and what they need to do to be successful.

It's a big day for Chuck and Gracie, even though they don't know it. They both will be going home today better than they arrived. Their humans still need to keep up with the work when they get home because consistency is the key.

I headed out for a field trip with Chuck this morning. Chuck is one of those dogs that keeps you guessing. When you think he's an alright guy, he proves you wrong. Chuck has an attitude that gives him the belief he can do as he wants. Sometimes that's not such a good ideal. Overall, Chuck is a good guy but has a mischievous thought process, which has and will cause him issues. He has one more week with me, and we will continue to introduce him to different ways of thinking, helping him become a better, more enjoyable dog with a much-improved thought process.

Walk and Talk with Clementine

A little bit of heeling with Gracie. Gracie usually pulls on the leash with little to no regard for the person holding it. Gracie is making an effort to be a more enjoyable dog to walk. All she has to do is play along and enjoy the scenery, and she, too, will enjoy the walk much more.

After getting the dogs all moved in and out, I decided to start with Chuck doing some outdoor work today. When I entered the training room, I had my hat on; Chuck went ballistic, lunging at the crate, barking and baring his teeth. I concluded Chuck doesn't like hats. I knew it couldn't be me. I think he likes me somewhat? So I decided Chuck needs a hat of his own.

Gracie started learning about the ecollar today; it's the beginning of her learning experience with the ecollar. I started her on place command. It's a command she does okay with, so I want to give her an easier time understanding the sensation from the collar and how to turn it off. Right now, it's continuous stimulation until the command is completed. As she goes, the stimulation will wind down to noncompliance, and the levels should also decrease.

I'm doing some place-to-down work with Chuck. He's a very independent little guy who likes to do his own thing, and when he doesn't, he likes to put on his I'm cute, let me be poses. Well, Chuck, those looks will only get you so far, but doing what you should be doing and looking cute while doing it would be a much better way, and you would be a much more enjoyable and cute dog.

Miss Gracie is lying in place, probably wondering what the heck is going on. Even though she had an idea of the place command, she is very stubborn about doing so, especially lying down. Actually, she is stubborn about everything. I haven't come across anything she's interested in doing except her own thing, her way. Gracie has a lot of changing to do, not only becoming less resistant about commands but getting into a much better state of mind, not one of I live here, and you take care of me, and I do as I want. That mindset creates a noncohesive relationship with humans.
