dog training tips and questions

[Rockbadchild]

My Vegas is progressing very well we are now at the stage of loose walking with standard collar with e-collar, she will not leave her bed (still a slip hear and there) her recall is very good but still need a zap her and there. Her heal is getting along very good as well. She now play with my other dog, all the preying and fixation is gone. I would say an other 4 weeks we will be able to walk in town off leash.

We did our first in town off leash walk with Vegas (walk around the block), she did very well and she made me proud since we haven't spend a whole lot of time training lately. Its a pretty hairy feeling to be honest not something I was totally comfortable with but it was a nice experience .. We have to keep working on the heel as she is not that great for it yet, espicially the walking heel and that's very important for off leash walking, then its a matter of trusting her.

Next time we meet with our trainer it's the final test to get certified we are his first client to complete it.

I had a heeler that was rock solid on heel. I never used a shock collar, just a leash until it wasn't needed. When I stopped he stopped in place and sat.
A real pleasure. Unfortunately he passed years ago
