Yesterday, I made sure to stop and give Shiloh some attention several times throughout the day. My toddler was "off" on her nap schedule and went along to the bus stop to greet her brothers. This meant no training time, but we did throw the stick for Shiloh.
This morning, after the boys got on the bus, I did some serpentine heeling work and reinforced that fact that dogs SIT when the heel-ey stops. She picks up quickly. We then worked on sitting and waiting while I walked across the field and then called her to me. She does well on sitting and waiting, but sometimes "come" means come NEAR you, but not quite. LOL
She did seem proud at the praise for a job well done and was rewarded with some fetch time. That dog LIVES for playing fetch.
Re: a new puppy I was thinking that a puppy would build confidence for Shiloh. I mean, what dog can't beat up a puppy? LOL But then, that confidence may be short lived. Puppies grow.
