So..Flo is18 months old today, and this is a summary of our training journey, without pain, or fear 👊
Flo walks beautifully on the lead 👌
She is a confident and robust dog, who takes life in her stride 🐾
Happy at the vet 👌
She is 'neutral' to much of the environment including people, cats, horses, cows, traffic 👌
Recall pretty good 👌
She toilets outside with no accidents 👌
She LOVES other dogs, but is accepting that she can't greet and play with them all 👌
She can be happily left alone for up to 4 hours 👌
She shows no signs of resource guarding, items, food, people or places 👌
She welcomes people into our busy home 👌
She knows in excess of 20 cues 👌
She will get into the car, with encouragement 👌
Areas for work 👌
Passing dogs calmly at close proximity (aka minding her own business 🙄👌🤣)
Ignoring other dogs that bark or lunge at her 🐾
Helping her feel happier in the car, I've slacked on this 🙈
All those cues she knows.... proofing them, so she understands, and does them, any time, any place 👌
Improving off lead reliability, so she can have more freedom. We're nearly there... but I'd like to work more on this 👌
Nail cutting!
All in all, I am really really pleased with her. We have fun, and we are best mates, and that, I guess, is the point, isn't it 🤷♀️🐾
