My computer is too screwed up to find the pictures, but you all know them... my rearend standing at the lower gate with about 8 or 10 adult dogs. and the many pictures of 6 dogs eating together at one table.. no problems
Either of these pictures would be impossible now.. sometimes even feeding two results in a battle. The noise at feed time is awful
So I had the brainstorm of trying to write exactly what training we did before.. and the way to remember would be to witness it day by day and write the weekly progress report by watching the litter we now have. And I think it has gone pretty well.... I am at the stage where yesterday I asked cindy to spoon feed while moving around 3 locations--- kitchen sofa ..window and then stool. In preparation for recall between 2 people... there was no one else to ask her to do that... there has been no one to keep that progression going –and teh puppy marches became a thing of the past...it starts around teh chimney... then house... then flagpole then swing...without direct supervision it just became too much trouble and if I dared suggest it would get tossed aside as silly....there was no follow thru...
. I mentioned it so many times. Then I lost interest too. So here we are.
Lyn is doing a great job but is overwhelmed and she is only involved with the feeding fiasco if someone is out... things she should not have to do... installing computers for example...car repairs.. building projects..... and we do still need a groundskeeper for these things dragging her away from training.
At 84 I am not sure I can even attempt to pull together the complete training that we used to do... with fairground runs and all....but if not now... when??
