I am soooo proud of Sandy! We were just training tonight and back up clicked for her!!! She is such a smart girl!

Sandy did so good last night training in my backyard! We practiced her being a calm and gentle girl even though it is super exciting for her when new people come to pet her! She also practiced wearing her diaper for when she is in heat so that it is a less stressful experience for her 😁🦮

I decided to see if my cat Kidder would want to try some training today. I was proud of how he was interested in playing a fun game with me! Have any of you guys ever trained your cat?

@Reagan Hunink did such a fantastic job with Step 1 for object retrieval that we’re ready to move on to the next step- actual objects instead of the finger! So now I’m working on holding onto a variety of objects including pens, post-its, and an eraser You’ll notice in the one of the videos we had to pause for a second because Sandy had a little punky puppy brain moment 😂 so we did a quick “free dog” reset, and after that reset she was back to rock-star status! 🐾🐕‍🦺

We took Saffy to a local park for a walk and worked on heeling in a very stimulating environment. We came across someone playing with a very big remote control car and James just had to go see it!😂 When we got close James put Saffy in a sit stay to watch as it come closer. We got an added distraction of a small girl on a foot scooter go by with the owner of the car. Saffy only quietly whined once and immediately corrected after a quiet. She did so good! The experience was much longer than the little video I got. She was very excited after so James had her a down stay with a leash distance walk away and I was able to get some cute leave pictures!😊 She was able to decompress in a calm way.
