I’ve been doing  most of the Bud training, so Maria and I thought it important for her to get into it. We came up with a neat plan to work on Bud’s recall, “stay” and the distance of both, and also to teach Bud that Maria’s commands need to be obeyed also.

Maria is working on using fewer words, and so am I. This was a    great training session, But is smart, responsive and quickly picked up on the idea of Maria training him as well as me.

Her treats are as good as mine, and this was a way of accomplishing many things at once. It worked. Come and see. Bud is staying longer than ever, coming more quickly than ever, and responding to commands over longer distances than ever before.

Good signs, all.
