We had a "guest distractor" today.
MISCHIEF, a lively Yorkie visiting from Houston, certainly tempted the concentration of our pups. Nice to watch all the dogs and their raisers, rise to the challenge.
I thought everyone looked good on the "UP" command. We will practice more on the "BED" command until everyone is proficient.
Part of what we are teaching, is not only the commands, and not only how to refocus, but also to learn how to settle, when the excitement gets to be too much. Most people forget this is something that does not always come naturally, and has to be worked on.
Just saying.
