Successful Session 1!
Yay! We had a little session on the back deck and he did it! O.k, so he is still a little confused on the 'Stand' bit, but once I had him standing he stayed standing as I sloooowly took a step in front of him while whispering 'Yes, good stay, good stay Banjo, yes'. He got three very short, very close to me stays in a row, so we called it quits on a high note.
I am so pumped and want to do at least two more sessions on it today to get him really getting it. Hooray hooray hooray!
Session 2
FAIL! He is confused and I got too frustrated which I know doesn't help.
Session 3
Maybe making progress...
Loose Leash Walking
I decided to go for a walk on the street this evening and he did great. One bit of barking and pulling at a dog that was barking at us, but he settled really quickly and walked on a loose leash at both brisk and slow pace for the rest of the walk. We are definately making progress.
We did a few more stands and stand stays using the 'yes' marker, but I still don't think he knows what the 'yes' is for where the stand is concerned..

Banjo is the first dog I will be training beyond basic manners. This blog will track our training efforts and results, and hopefully help me to clearly see what we we are doing well and what needs more effort.
