Doing some practice with Lucy this weekend and just have a couple questions 😊 Loose leash walking is going good! She does stray sometimes (mostly with scents, we haven't seen many people or dogs to test that unfortunately. Hoping to see some people out tonight to see how she is before her last week!). If there's something up ahead that I KNOW she's going to be super keen to smell, should I use 'free' and let her have at it and then 'let's go' after she's had her fun? Auto down is getting better, she'll mostly down without needing to stim but 50/50 if she's laying beside or kinda randomly. As long as she auto downs... not a worry about her exact placement still? Place and under are okay! We just need to keep practicing. I’ve been trying a couple rapid “place” “free” “place” “free” etc and that’s been okay. Down is the one I’m having the most trouble with, she won’t listen and then seems off when I use the collar? Scared almost? Even just on a 1. One thing I really wanted to make sure was okay – sometimes she can randomly just be weird. Both with the stim and commands. I didn’t have her leash on when I was practicing last night and that was my mistake – when I asked ‘down’ or ‘place’ she ran off to a different room. Sometimes hiding in her crate? And then with the leash on she still will try to get away. So sometimes when I initially say the command she goes “SEE YA” and tries to run off and other times she just won’t listen, I’ll stim on a 1, and she looks panicky tail tuck ears back and has been just dropping to the floor looking very concerned. I haven't been holding it, just tapping. Tips? Sorry for the story! Thank you! 😊

OK So hone after week 2. Attempted under , going under benches outside. Used benches that were backed against a retaining wall as I found Tanner was going straight thru to the other side if any bench was open . He still went thru a snow bank , had to use the leash to get him to turn around. At one point he was frustrated enough to try and bite me -he had his muzzle on. Stopped the training and went home. Whenever I try free he goes straight to a snowbank and tries to rub the muzzle off.- which then I have to stop free and put him in a let's go. Also question,I charged his ecollar in the afternoon when I was out and he was sleeping, but when I went to do a training session with him at 7 pm I couldn't t, as the collar lost its charge, but the handheld device was ok. So I lost a training session( which I will make up today-Sun) Is it because he s getting it wet in the snow? I have since stopped him from face ploughing into the snow drifts. I placed him in an under in the lobby , as we have a long closed bench, and it was ok but not perfect. Will keep trying today. Am using rhe condo building hallways and lobby on Sunday as it is super cold out with the windchill. Ran into 2 people in the lobby, on Sat - he was good with them, asked permission to walk him back and forth while the woman was waiting for her partner, and it went well. Ran into a woman with a friendly , small dog- Tanner alerted so was able to get him into an auto down with a tap, but I also removed him from the situation and turned and went the other way. We did walk past a stroller plus 2 people, and he was good. Yah!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Has anyone had issues with their ecollar not holding a charge? I charged mine all Sat night took it off the charger for an hour. Went to do training outside - the collar itself was dead , the handheld was fine. Took it inside, charged to green in kitchen, then unplugged, and the collar went red. Currently charging on a power bar. Handheld is green, good to go, ecollar is now green- will try my training assignment again. But very frustrating,.......
