Show her something once.... maybe twice.... and WOW.... it seems she's got it.
Example? She likes to jump, especially up. So....This morning I placed her on a chair and motioned for her to jump up to me. It took twice, and she got the idea (and had the trust) to jump into my arms.... tonight she is doing it on the command "Arms".....
And.... punish or correct her??? I think this little girl was a queen in her previous life... Or maybe a 3 year old. She doesn't take kindly to being told NO or that what she is doing is wrong... She has a phenomenal pout. Like don't talk to you, lay in the other room, back to you for 20 minutes pout. It is actually funny to watch. I can see it being an issue that we will have to work through with her and search work.
She was introduced to cadaver Friday. She has a natural interest in it, so her continued training should turn out well... and letting her watch Kaeden work really amped her up for the next round of introductions.
My partner will be doing pretty much all the handling from here on out.... I get to be the subject for a few, then the transition to different people and then longer problems will begin.... We will be spending the rest of this dogs life figuring out how to stay one step ahead of her... or probably two steps....maybe three....
