Training
Housebreaking
Thursday, 13 September 2007
She came to us reasonably well used to the crate so there was no issue there.
 
Sit

Learning sit took two sessions. We did this on the second day we had her.

We teach her to look at our face.
 
Give me your Paw
Thursday, 13 September 2007
I'm not sure exactly how this went since S_  trained her on this by herself.
 
Through the tunnel
Saturday, 15 September 2007

Going through a "tunnel".

I have absolutely no experience with Agility Training so I'm not sure that "through" is the conventional term for this, however I want to get started on something where Lila is moving away from me on command.

 
Training Issues
Tuesday, 18 September 2007

Here are some general things we noticed or had trouble with regarding training that don't fit into any specific trained behavior.

 
Biting
Friday, 12 October 2007

Puppies nip. They pretty much all do to one extent or another. ACD pups bite. It's not agression. It's part of their herding technique. It was quite frustrating when she didn’t seem to respond to all the usual techniques to curtail it.

Wednesday, 17 October 2007

(see “Look at me and beginning to Heel”) I thought I should start working with a more formal heel and began to do so.
