Na'ilah completed her first obedience class today--one class a week for six weeks.
Here we are with her diploma.
She can now sit, down, stay, wait, etc. She already could heel pretty well.
She can even do "Leave it!" under certain conditions. She can leave a treat on the floor when it is placed in front of her, but if there's a squirrel in a tree, no amount of "Leave it!" will work. Yet.
I'm supposed to be able to train her to leave even squirrels and cats. This skill would be useful and could even save us thousands of dollars.
The course was taught by Dorna Sakurai, owner of Pawsitive Feedback Training. I highly recommend it. http://www.pawsitivefeedback.com/
For months, it seemed impossible to train Na'ilah to sit because she had a painful venereal tumor. Now that the tumor has been removed by chemo and radiation therapy, sitting is not painful, but she still has the habit of sitting to one side of her rump and sits down slowly.
Stormy, on the other hand, is so close to the ground (being a corgi) that sitting is quick and easy.
The bebes Na'ilah carries in her hip may be another reason for sitting down carefully, not quickly.
