Lovable Lizzie
/Hey guys! Last week, Lizzie’s trainer was super excited about what the week held in store regarding this amazing, sweet hound. Lizzie has had another great week - one for the books! She got all tens across the board for all 13 basic commands. The only thing now to apply for the next five weeks is consistency.
She is coming along well in her training and she is already comfortable with her alternate trainer. Her primary has already established a consistent feeding procedure for both 4:30am and 4:30pm:
Make sure the flaps over the kennel are up so she can see all around her;
Open the front kennel door and tell her to “wait”;
One the wait command is properly issued, release her into a “heel” position and then a sit directly behind her kennel on two foam mats;
Tell her to “stay” in her seated position while her trainer puts her bowl into her kennel… then wait a couple of seconds with her still in the “sit” position;
Say “kennel” after about 4-6 seconds in a sit-stay position.
She should run into her kennel and gracefully eat her kibble! Her trainer will work in the coming weeks on increasing duration and distance. She is a smart girl and this should be no problem at all for our gorgeous gal!
