On Macmillan Road, we hear a tractor coming. I am walking with three dogs, one (Frieda) on a leash. I am training the dogs to move to the side of the road on command, the command is “move” and then sit, and they are learning to move to the nearest side of the road, and then “sit.” When Frieda hears the “sit” command, she stands still, she doesn’t quite grasp “sit,”it is not a natural position for her. Lenore sits, although slowly, Red moves quickly to the side of the road and sits, but I must be careful not to release him early – that command is “free” or he will shoot out too quickly.

Still I am making progress for six months, they are all moving to the side of the road quickly and beginning to sit and stay.
