Theo Does Good Things
Oct. 12th, 2022 04:04 pmI've signed up for a seven-day online workshop thingy with Theo Harehound, partly because a friend was running it and I wanted to support her, and partly because Theo is being a pain about meeting dogs onlead and maybe I'll learn things that might help. One of the exercises is noting down all the things he does RIGHT so I thought I might as well do that here:
1) He passed a border collie on this morning's walk very nicely when the owner called it back and put it on lead.
2) He sat quietly in the car and only got out of it when I told him to.
3) He is learning 'middle' and is very good when I give the command when he's behind me.
4) he did work out how to go in the middle twice this morning even though he was in front.
5) I took him to the vet, and he was very good about saying hello to the receptionist, her daughter and visiting small granddaughter.
6) he did actually let the vet check one ear before it All Became Too Much.
7) He's been quietly asleep ever since.
8) I tried the 'redirection game' suggested by the course and he redirected very nicely, though I keep forgetting to mark the moment when he turns.
