| HDP's two new Hearing Dogs! Living at our home while training, Updates every lesson. Train your dog along with me! » |
Hearing Dog training journal: Repeated yesterday's timer training with their morning meal. Still no intense reaction to the sound, but they are more focused on this game now. I would think that next lesson, they will start reacting to the sound by sharply scanning the ground.
Obedience: they know sit but not stay. On leash, they are now doing about 5 second stays. Worked on relaxing while on leash in the living room while other dogs are loose.
Janie can climb a chain link fence like a monkey! This is dangerous. She'll need a careful placement with no alone time in a yard, with someone who walks a lot and knows to be careful about boarding and other friend's yards. Janie wants to be with me, so she does not go anywhere after she climbs the fence. I'll be building a roof for the exercise kennel today!
Less barking, they are setting into their new routine of rotating quiet crate time while alone in a room without their sister or other dogs.
