Well after yesterdays session, we have come to the conclusion that our dog enjoys the trainer, Corie, more than us. She can be the most unruly dog there is, but as soon as Corie shows up our dog just sits there and becomes the model student. Saying it frustrates the both of us is an understatement.
Everyone will be happy to know though that again Maggie did very well in the class. Underneath her gruff exterior she really is a smart animal. She now officially knows how to sit just by using a hand signal. Our homework for this week promises to be the toughest yet. This week we are working on teaching Maggie to lie down using only a hand signal and also to drop something from her mouth when we say leave it. The leave it homework will by far be the toughest because Maggie enjoys chewing Lance's socks, but we will see what we can do. Maggie is already doing a good job with the laying down and Lance is hoping he can teach her to dance (which means Maggie sits, lays down, and then gets back into the sit position again). We are both thrilled to death with the dogs progress so far and can't wait to unveil the new, more improved Maggie.
