I know Harley is being trained for my pots, but she picked up on this behavior all by herself and I just been reinforcing the behavior I’ve noticed since I’ve had pots. I have this really bad habit of shaking my legs and putting my hands together or when my hands start getting real shaky, I kinda rest on my legs. Well, she in the video could see me calling her first cause she was sniffing around, but once she realized she turned around, and she stopped me from shaking my legs and my hands to disrupt the behavior. I was so proud of her. She started doing this about a month ago. Sorry for the kid screaming in the background it’s bath day for the dogs

Saffy got to go swimming yesterday. When we made her get out of the pool, we had her do some basic obedience to reenforce when she is allowed in the pool. She knows the difference between clothes and swim suits. 🤣 We can go outside to eat or to her potty area and she leaves the pool alone. When we put on swim suits on, she is excited before we get out the door and usually waits till we give the command to go in the pool. If she doesn’t wait for the swim command, we do make her get out and wait for us give swim command. Then praise her like crazy. She can be crazy smart!

There are contractors outside with rumbling beeping equipment, that Saffy was ‘fixated’ on. We used a short training session to distract her. We also got a bonus leave it video!

Saffy needed to go potty and the contractors were close to her space, so another training session was presented! The noise and contractors were between 15 and 25 ft away so a good training and challenge for us. I see where there are few times, more praise could have been given for a good sit and then good quiet. I was not multitasking well with the noise, watching Saffy, and catching video, so good distraction training and future awareness training for the handler too!

I had been vacuuming and Saffy was following me around and checking out the vacuum and the going further away. Dad came in and started recording. Go Dad!! So the first video is me finishing vacuuming and near Saffy after I put her in a down stay. When she got up and didn’t down again, I had her come check it and heel between myself and the vacuum. We were leaving shortly so we did not have her e-collar on to correct her, so we did verbal correction with a less scary situation so she could succeed. This was our first time making her stay near the vacuum.
