Sable is a husky, correct? If so, it's even more important for her to have proper leash manners. Huskies are bred to pull, and do it very well.

She is....with the added power and stubborn streak of a pit. I will say she also got a heaping helping of desire to please so is overall a very easy dog.
No one got walked while Tilly was sick or while River was tiny or during freezing cold temps. Yup any prior training was forgotten. Now there is the extreme excitement at getting to go walking. :rolleyes:
Good thing I have patience.

My son did not get home til after 5 so yeah no walk again for Sable. :(
Today is another day though and I WILL no matter what get a good long walk in with her. She mellows out part way through a walk so hasn't forgotten everything.

:frow Good morning henny, have a great day
 
Peach gets to run in the back yard when there are no puddles, which is most of the time. She and LT are out there twice a day normally. Peach also works with/for me at least a couple times a week.

She and Trixie will be getting new gear, I'll post pics when it gets here. I'm excited to have Peach working in it, as it is the gear she'll be using when she's working for DD#3. I'll be sending pics to her breeder, and we plan on celebrating her birthday at her breeder's so she can show what she's been learning.

She did really good for her mom today. She helped protect and block while DD had a seizure in a store, as did Trixie, and when Trixie said it was ok to go to the car, I asked Peach to lead with the additional command of go load. Peach guided and helped DD to the car without any further instruction and didn't give in to distraction. She went straight to the door, and then took her to the passenger side of the car.

Peach also did an oof and block to let me know a last was coming up behind me a little too quickly and she didn't realize Peach was there. This was a first and we didn't train for that situation, so we now have a base behavior that we can modify.

That's the neatest thing when training your own service dog. They will start tasking for you if they are a good prospect. My friend is trying to train her own service dog with very limited resources and help in her area. Her dog started tasking without training recently, and has been doing a reliable job. The biggest issue she has with him is that he's not very good with being out working in public. That's mostly due to her not having someone willing to help her train him, and not having a decent training program through the pet stores in her area. I'm trying to help, but there's a bit of distance between us.

Do any of you know people around the Atlantic/Anita area of Iowa that are good at helping train dogs with positive approaches who might be willing to help? They don't have to be professionals, just successful and confident with obedience training and willing to help. I can send info for videos to help, but my friend needs someone to do hands on help, as she doesn't do well with reading or watching videos.
