BEST day!

Today was by far the best training day I have ever had with Danni. Her heeling was great without an ecollar, even in the dark (though I did find a park with some lighting, so it was better than our usual darkness.) Normally she loses focus really easily in the dark, and she did in the darker places, but for the most part her heeling was really nice.

I can now do a sit in motion and walk away not facing her. Her sit is slow as it was in the beginning when I walked away facing her, but tonight was the first night she would sit instead of stand. I could walk the 6ft leash length away and she would sit without moving forward.

Her recalls are amazing. Even with the bum yelling some very disturbing things at a fairly alarming volume (I didn't expect this, he started when I had already downed her and walked away, I wouldn't normally trust her to not approach him.) They are LIGHTNING fast. I love her recalls. With beautifully straight fronts at the perfect distance from me 99% of the time.

A note on the bum, I didn't expect Danni to keep her focus heeling while he was yelling but she did a lot better than expected.

Her tracking this morning was very good too.

I'm just SO PROUD OF HER!!
