So yesterday I did nothing with Juneau outside of regular day-to-day activities. But at least there is still training in that. She has to "say please" before going outside, getting out of her kennel, getting to eat, getting out of the car, anything that she needs to know the humans provide for her only when she is good.
One funny thing happened this morning though. My husband was waiting for her to "say please" before going outside (he had Lucy on a leash at the door and I was behind with Juneau on a leash) and she sat and looked at me for permission to go outside. I would prefer she asked the wrong human to go out rather than just go crazy until someone opens the door.
Tomorrow we set off on a mini-vacation for the New Year holiday, and Juneau and Lucy are going to their local kennel. While they stay there Juneau gets play time with other dogs and Lucy gets a kong stuffed with goodies, so they both come home happy. So you won't hear from me until next week. Happy New Year!
To everyone who has told me they are inspired to work with their own dogs; great! I set out to fix my own behavior, but if I can improve the lives of other dog owners too, awesome!
