SOPHIE PART 3 of 3rd session. Sophie's owner originally called me for counter surfing (stealing food off counter & kitchen table), chewing carpet & a couple other things, but those being the biggest problems which are now a thing of the past. At our 2nd session I taught the owners how to claim the kitchen, teaching Sophie that she is not aloud in the kitchen, also I sat with them while they ate dinner teaching them how to claim not only their space, but the dining room as well. Again, teaching Sophie that when her owner are eating that she can not cross the boundaries from living room to dining room. Both the owner & Sophie learned this in a matter of minutes. I am very happy & proud of them! There is a couple reasons I'm posting this video.. The main reason is because if you look @ the kitchen table. you'll see that they removed the gate ππ!
I expected to see the gate open when I arrived, but I DID NOT expect to see that they removed it all together. 2nd reason for this post is to show the start of teaching a GOOD RECALL. We started @ this distance, then I had Gabby go upstairs & be in a different room each time she called Sofie with the come recall. Which is Sophie come here. As I mentioned, this is our 3rd session & these guys are doing a superb job!!
This just goes to show the importance of doing your homework & following thru!!
Great job guys & keep up the good work!!
