Training Session Log

Length: 15 minutes
Location: Grooming shop

Have started on L3 shaped Trick and it went great. I love shaping! We worked from glancing at a box to nosing it, pawing at it, putting one paw on it, putting two paws on it, to finally jumping on it. I would now like her to turn and face me once she’s on it and to finally sit on top of the box or to stand/stack with her front feet right at the edge of the box. . . will decide later which it will be.

Zen – worked with her and Griffin to increase time.

Crate – Have found a hole. She can stay in her crate for hours without making a noise if it’s in the van or at the shows, but at home when I’m just next by working or training another dog she whines. She also does it if I walk out of the room . . . Bummer
So have been rewarding being quiet while I train Griffin or groom dogs, starting with very short periods between rewards and increasing gradually. I just have to put my mind to it. . it’s something I often just don’t think of doing.
