Training


We are about to start doing some more structured training with Simon and Sadie. We used to do a lot of training with Sadie but once she got to the point that we could walk her and she was easy to live with we started doing less. Then we got Simon and all the focus was on the new puppy and making sure he liked people and was not a monster. Now Simon is over a year old and has started to have a longer attention span I think he will do better too. We took a training class with him over the summer when we had Maya but between trying to juggle three dogs and dealing with Simon wanting to climb the trees and eat the birds it did not go so well.  I am very hopeful that now Simon will have better luck also the class is inside so less chance of him getting as distracted by everything around him.


My main goals for the current training is for Sadie and Nik to learn how to be able to work better as a team. For Sadie to learn to focus better with distractions and be less reactive to dogs around her. For Simon to improve his stays and recalls and to help increase his motivation for working with me.


I intend to post on what we are working on as well as any issues or progress we make.
