Doggie Dog Training!

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Sisqo started his dog training on Saturday, and what an improvement on control and focus!!!

We've been working really hard with the clicker training all week. Sisqo's trainer (Tiffany) came over again last night for session number two. We learned how to answer the door. After the initial shock of the doorbell ringing I find a very calm and focused dog. Who would've thought!?!?! We have to do a couple of sit and focus drills before we can open the door. When the door opens he is still focused on ME not on who is coming in the door!!! Can you believe that in 30 mins the dog who would hear the doorbell and jump all over the door and bark like a maniac has changed into a dog who will bark for a second and then can actually concentrate?

She also taught us what we can do with strangers. They may not be able to pet them....but that's fine. At least with what she taught us he can be comfortable around people and won't try to eat them!!! Well, maybe still Lincoln but that's okay, right?

He'll be staying with Rufus for the next week while I'm in Houston. Hopefully when I get back he'll still be able to focus!! Sisqo loves this type of training because right now he gets treats all the time!!!!
