Went and seen my psychiatrist and practiced hand targeting while waiting, introduced her to Thad. She was very impressed because he just laid there and went to sleep. Then we went to the base salon and got my hair cut and Thad just laid there and slept and did not move once till it was done. We went to my husbands work after wards to show him my hair and he liked it. I went by Toni's after but she was not home so I called her and found out she was at a funeral of a old family friend in Arkansas. Went to PetSmart to get more treats. Next we went to Big Lots and he got car sick on the way. He has not been getting sick recently. I picked up some curtains for the house and other things, rain coat for Thad. Went by Critter Co and Krogers got some string cheese to for a training treat. I am looking for that ultimate treat to train with.
When we returned home we practiced with the string cheese and it is that ultimate training treat. We worked on sit stays with all my dogs. Also I introduced place and drop it. He is catching on real fast to everything I have introduced so far. Man is he smart. I always knew poodles where smart but this is great and he has a wonderful disposition. He barley barks and does not fight with other dogs. We practice what all we learn every day for at least 10 to 15 mins and sometimes longer. When this puppy class is through we have to wait till he is 6 mons to take the beginners class and will just take another puppy class in the mean time to continue socialization with other dogs which has gone good so far. Plus it will give us a chance to polish what we have learned before the more advanced class. I would like to take the CGC by the time he is a yr old so we can start on task & work training. I shall see how fast or slow he picks up on things in the mean time.
