How I get my training done

I combine it with running errands. Today was Step ( here for a sleepover weekend) and Gonna. You think I have time to do dedicated training field trips?! Come on. You don't either. It is really easy to put it aside if you make it a big event. Popping the dog out of the car for 5 min though? Most people can manage that.

Me: Breakfast at Waffle house
Them: Sits, downs, walking loose leash, confidence with moving vehicles, large trucks, etc.

Plus: Some tracking


Me: Carolina Stockyards to pick up feed
Them: stay in car even though back of car is open, while stranger loads feed

Me: Shopping at Walmart
Them: Sits, Downs, walking loose leash, Down stay, paws up on shopping carts, etc. Bellyrubs.



You can get a heck of a lot of proofing done this way, with very little extra time involved. And oh, by the way? The Siler City Waffle House is reserving tables...um, booths and stools, for a candlelit Valentine's Day Dinner. Very cute.
