Hello
I gave Brandi a little over three weeks to settle in and took her outside for her first obed. lesson. She is doing well but I am training opposite of her previous training (conformation) She wants to walk in front of me and she doesn't understand why I want her to stop and sit at the heel position. She does it but then jumps up and faces front standing looking at me.......OYE it'll come but it's gonna take lots of time and patience to keep her from reverting to what she has known for two years....... She did learn the word sit in that 10 minute session though so I know she's smart as a whip. We will work on 10 minute sessions for the next few weeks and I imagine she's gonna come along fine but this is the first dog I've had to re-train rather than just train......It's gonna be interesting.
