Week 15 Shana's Training Journal 6/24/2019-6/30/2019

PictureShana helping me gather wood one day. Not a great shot but a good memory.
Week 15 Day 1 6/24/2019 Monday:
Cujo (very good friend), Bandit (very good friend), Stella (friend), Brody (very good friend), and Lucy (nemesis) are here today.  Shana woke up raring to go and very vocal this morning.  She knew when Lucy got here, but has been in very good mood (though you can still tell she is stressed when Lucy is here)
  1. Couch to 5k with me through the neighborhood 22 minutes
  2. Frisbee and place while getting frisbee 3 minute place and 5 minute frisbee action with long throws and temp rising
  • ​
​RESULTS:  Did really well allowing me to do couch to 5 k with her.  I did have rabbit treats on board.  I also used her muzzle and leash (had ecollar on but had no need to use it).  We passed about four small dogs.   Two were on the loose, and one of those tried to approach us.   The other was a new neighborhood dog tethered but barking in their yard.  One was the beagle named, Daisy, who it looks like Shana is familiar with now.   Then the two possible grayish cairn terriers were the ones that were loose.   Owner came to get them.  Shana did get a little tense when she saw that one was trying to come up to us.  She did come back into line though. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy the walk and Frisbee play.  Plenty of chipmunks and birds landing in front of us when walking.  Shana was definitely interested in chasing but she kept the leash loose.  Overall in the walk there were very few times she put any sort of pressure on the leash.  She was just on her flat leather collar.  I did bring my stick to ward off or back off any dogs that might run up to us.   Shana did a very good job.

Week 15 Day 2 6/25/2019 Tuesday:
Greta (new), Sadie the 4th (new), and Reggie BFF here
  1. Stay in front foyer until released, then fetch pink ball out side, return, drop and back to foyer stay reps. 30 minutes
RESULTS:  I did not write anything down, which probably means she did very well.  I should have written how many times she was unsuccessful at this, but neglected too.  I did not write down her mood either, but I am thinking she was probably happy and relaxed because of that.

Week 15 Day 3 6/26/2019 Wednesday:

Greta (new), Sadie the 4th (new), and no other friends or daycare here.  Equipment none on, and was in good mood.   She did snip at her brother, Tommy, this morning (no biggy just being a jerk).
  1. Out of sight stays for 5 minutes.  First three were perfect, broke 4th and 5th rep when I went into mudroom with new dog, Sadie the 4th.  1 hour of these until I got the four in a row that I wanted.
  2. Activity:  Frisbee done in two sessions of one 10 minutes and one 15 minutes (warm out so shorter sessions).  Half and hour of relaxation with Brothers in the shade in between.   55 minutes
RESULTS:  GOOD FOR OUT OF SIGHT STAYS AS NO EQUIPMENT WAS ON.  GETTING FOUR IN A ROW OF FIVE MINUTES IS CHALLENGING.  OVERALL GOOD REACTION TO TWO STRANGE DOGS BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR.   SHE WAS NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AT ALL.
 


Week 15 Day 4 6/27/2019 Thursday:
Greta (newish), Sadie the 4th (new), Sadie the 2nd (BFF), Louie (good friend), and Reggie (BFF)
  1. Day off, I just let her enjoy her friends.  If I remember correctly (did not write it down), I think she was pretty tired on this day, and did not really play with her friends.   Not sure though.

Week 15 Day 5 6/28/2019 Friday:

Mudge (brand spanking new dog), Bandit (bff), Boone (bff), and Cujo (bff)
  1. Day off again, she still seemed tired and worn.  It has been stressful with the influx of new dogs to train for her.
Week 15 Day 6 6/29/2019 Saturday:
  1. Bike ride with new bike attachment for Shana.   Rough start checking it out.   30 minutes

Week 15 Day 7 6/30/2019 Sunday:
  1. Couch to 5k with Shana (did not mark down any problems) 25 minutes
