| Major Breakthrough Ollie is now doing DOWN on command. She would never do it and there was no way to make her do it. With ChAchi I could fust lift his front legs and he would lie down, but Ollie would fight it. It had to be her idea, so I would just wait her out and make her sit there until she got bored and laid down, then I would say down and praise her. After several times of doing that, she is now finally doing it on command. Yeah!!!!!!!!! her education wasn't a waste of money. LOL They are both doing great in obedience class, with the heels and sits and stays. We're working on Recall for them to come and sit right between my feet and look up at me. And with sitting nice and straight right beside me when I stop walking. They are very interested in what all the other dogs are doing, especialfly a young Boxer that is very energetic. His handler is an 80 pound 12 year old, so he gets a little out of control, but he is just playful. It's been quite an experience. |

| That is quite an accomplishment! I am seriously considering obedience training for my little monsters. Some days they obey commands so well, and other days they act like they forgot everything they learned.
