Scout and I spent the day getting to know each other! She is a really playful girl! We went to a local park where Scout was able to run around and get to know me. We had our first lesson where I introduced Scout to the e-collar. She was a little spooked at first but got the hang of it quickly. We worked on her ‘come’ and ‘sit’ commands today. She was really curious and distracted since there was so many dogs at the park. She did bark at a couple of them that passed her but seemed to loose interest quickly. After a couple of reps of ‘come’ and ‘sit’, she was able to get the hang of coming around my back and sitting on my left side. We ended our training session by working on her ‘heel’ command. She wanted to pull me in so many direction but I would do the opposite of her. She didn’t try to pull me as much by the end! Scout is doing great in her kennel and took a long nap before dinner. She ate only half of her food today and went potty like normal. She had a treat before bed.

Scout worked on her ‘sit’ and ‘heel’ command today! She did amazing and was able to pick it up quickly! We worked around other dogs. Scout did try to bark at first but after a couple of corrections she did amazing and ignored dogs. She was a little anxious if they walked a little too close to her and would try to walk behind me. Scout also worked on her ‘come’ command. She didn’t understand that she needed to come around by back and to my left side. After a couple of reps she did great. Scout ate half of her breakfast and dinner. She also had a treat before bed! I’m

Scout went to Petsmart today to work on her ‘heel’ and ‘come to sit’. She was really anxious walking into the store and was a bit spooked by the people who were stocking the shelves. She did try to pull me a couple of times but adjusted herself when I have her a couple of corrections. She did great passing by other dogs and didn’t bark at them. She does get uncomfortable passing them and will try to hide behind me. We worked on building up her confidence so I had her get onto a couple of kibble bags and loud shelves. She was really hesitant at first but was able to get comfortable and jump up. She loved watching the birds and was a bit wary about going up to them. After working around the birds, she ignored them and even took a picture in front of their habitat. Scout is improving every day and is being such a good girl. We ended our session by introducing ‘down’. She knows how to get in the down position but will try to crawl to be at my feet. Overall, she did such a great job today!

Scout worked around other trainers and their pups today. She’s still a little uncomfortable being around other dogs especially when we work on her ‘down’ command. She is doing a lot better passing them, she doesn’t bark but will stare at them. Scout is doing a lot better with her ‘heel’ command but will try and veer off to the side at times. She’s been able to keep my pace but will slow down. We worked on her ‘place’ command today and she did such a great job getting into a small circular bench. She was a bit unsure in the beginning but gained confidence once we tried it a couple of times. Scout is getting better at her ‘come to sit’ command but still needs a bit of guidance. While working on her ‘extended sit’ and ‘down’ today, we started working on her durations. She did a great job as people passed. She didn’t try to get up or move from her position. Scout ended the night with a couple of treats! She is being such a good girl!
Scout worked with other pups and their trainers today at The Americana at Brand! She did such a great job working with dogs she hasn’t met before. She didn’t bark at any other the other dogs at The Americana. We’re still working on her ‘heel’ since she tends to pull a lot more when she gets distracted! She is doing great with her ‘come to sit’ and is getting a lot better at going in a ‘down’ without crawling to my feet. She did have some playtime today before bed and enjoyed a couple of treats!

Scout went to Hollywood today to work on her commands around distractions! She did amazing but was a bit spooked by all the loud noises and people passing. She would get spooked at times and get up from her ‘extended down’. She would try and crawl to be near me whenever she got a bit anxious. She did really well with her heel and was really curious. She did try to go up to a couple of people but with a couple of corrections she did great! We’re still working on her ‘come to sit’. She wants to sit a little further back or goes a little off to the side. Overall, Scout is such a good girl and did amazing today!

Scout worked on all of her commands today at a local park! There were a lot of distractions such as dogs, people and motor cars. She did get scared by the people playing basketball and found it a bit hard to concentrate. After a couple of minutes working around them, she calmed down. She did struggle with her ‘come to sit’ today. She was really anxious and would want to sit in front of me or right behind me. We’re working on building her confidence around loud noises. Overall, scout is doing such a great job and we’re able to work off leash for a bit!

Scout went to Home Depot today to work on all of her commands off leash. She did amazing with her ‘heel’ and is getting so much better at her ‘come to sit’! She is becoming more confident and wasn’t too phased by the loud noises! She was a little spooked by some of the shopping carts that passed by her but she stayed in a ‘heel’ and kept going. She was a little unsure about ‘placing’ on top of the orange cart since it moved a bit. We worked her through it and even added boxes to make it more challenging! Scout had some play time at a local park today! She ran around but got tired quickly! She ate all of her breakfast and dinner and is drinking plenty of water!

Scout worked on all of her commands off leash today around other dogs. She does have a bit of trouble walking so close to other dogs and tends to start getting anxious. We worked on getting her more comfortable walking by them and going in a ‘down’ close to them. She did try to get up a couple of times but after she got comfortable she stayed in her ‘down’ position. She is getting a lot better at her ‘come to sit’ and it has become one of her favorite commands! She did a great job today and was able to play with a 5 month old lab puppy! She is so loving and is learning so much! Overall, Scout is progressing nicely!

Scout worked off leash at Santa Monica Pier with her favorite pup, Marley! She loved looking at all of the birds and water but was a little overwhelmed when it got a bit crowded. She did great walking down the pier, she walked next to me and didn’t veer off like she used to. She did have a bit of trouble going in a down especially if there was a big crowd. We worked through it and she did amazing! We also went to a local park to enjoy some off leash fun! She is such a good girl and she can’t wait to show you all that she’s learned!
