Daycare Tutoring Program - Roxy

Roxy is a young girl with a happy disposition, and although spirited, very eager to please.



She is taking the 10 lesson private daycare tutoring program and learning by leaps and bounds.  She has a fast "SIT" but her speciality is a quick "DOWN". 
We are working on adding a long "STAY" with her lovely "DOWN" am so proud of her, and I think she is very proud of herself as well!

CCI - Puppy Raiser Class - 10/16/10

  • We started with a  cradle, to help the pups settle and focus.
  • Remember when working with the name response, to say your dog's name one time, smile, and if using a treat, bring your treat hand from your dog's face, slowly to yours.
  • Everyone did great with the "here" command.
  • If your dog resists on the "Sit" command, slide on finger under his collar and wait for your dog to offer the "Sit". 
  • The same advice applies if your dog is fussing over the Gentle Leader. One finger under the collar, and wait.
  • Passing through the door was a very realistic exercise, and we got to use; Lets Go, Heel, Sit, and Wait.   Nicely done!
  • The pups are still a little excitable when playing, but everyone was on top of making sure we had "Four on the floor".
