Training notes, 100507

Chesty with vest and halti, 6 months.

Waldo~65
Star~55
Chesty~56
General~26

Waldo~is now wearing the Halti from am to pm and will go out of the facility with it on from now on.

Star~Mark is concerned that Star is not as happy to work as she might be so will add a toy reward to training this week. He is going back to basics with Star, as at 6 months she appears to need a refresher course in not pulling on the leash, one command sits and downs, etc.

Chesty~Is still pulling on the leash with AJ, still eating things off the ground. We're working on a better grasp of the "LEAVE IT" command. He can now open the fridge door wit just the tug rope, no toy. Chesty was interviewed for daycare today and (of course) passed with flying colors.

General~Knows sit, down, wait, come, roll over, shake, jump, off, under...he's a very smart puppy, and is having a ball beating the stuffing out of the other dogs!
