I am working heavily with Eris and her “wait” command. She charges like a bull to do everything. She will flat out run me over as she charges out of her crate. She is doing really well, so far.

Working on Bailey’s separation anxiety,
not having much success. She’s real bad when I go to the door to leave the house.

I’m teaching him ‘Away’ — going backwards. He’s a fast learner but he likes to do it halfway and get away with it.

Oh boy…we’re working on TONS of stuff. Timber is now able to sit and “leave it” at meal time until I say “OK” … it’s SO rewarding!!! =)

And of course with Trooper we’re working on his jealousy and the fighting. I wish we did NOT have to work on this but that’s life.

I absolutely LOVE your blog by the way. =) Even when I don’t visit every day.

I’m working on so many things I get overwhelmed. =P Tatum is my main focus at the moment.. we are working on agility, mostly weaves and jumps and some very short sequences. And also stay on her mat. I think stay is easier for her, and Muffit, on their mat it gives them something to focus on.

I’ve given up on the whole loose leash walking thing.

Right now we are still working with Gus to adjust. He has some separation anxiety so that is our main goal. We are meeting out walking goal and get him to (grudgingly) wear his pack so this is our top priority now. He is starting to realize that we will come back if we leave.
