Wish me luck please!

After a month of intense training, tomorrow looks like it'll be my final day with my final exam to become a dog trainer. At this point I am brain dead. I have learned so much that my brain must weigh more ;)

Tomorrow's "final" is me teaching a class that has a blind dog - and I have to keep everyone actively engaged in the class while spending sufficient one-on-one time with the owners of the blind pup.... and teach them all how to walk at a heel. Wish me luck heeling a blind dog who only knows what pull is :o I know my strategy, so lets see if it works.

I am nervous to say the least and will be utterly devastated if my trainer thinks I need another few days.

Lucky, I guess! Though I seemed to have had a bunch of things thrown at me, and will be a better trainer for it.

Well, I'm up from the world's worst nght sleep - I just tossed & turned and worried. It didn't help that I had no bed space thanks to Allen and Abby :p

I'm too old to be getting this worked up! I have always done bad on tests and this one is no exception to me worrying about it :o

[Randi]

In spite of the lack of sleep, I hope you'll do well! Good luck!! :)

[Poo]

[Killearn Kitties]

:D I'm not remotely surprised that you did so well! We knew you would.
Hope you sleep better tonight!

[Freckles]

That's great!

What was the strategy used on the blind dog?

[catnapper]

That's great!

What was the strategy used on the blind dog?
I just used a treat and let it follow the scent of it until it understood the feeling of the slack leash. Make sense? Then we worked on him following his owner's voice instead of the treat.

Karen, good grief... I am ready to go to bed now, I yawned my way through the day

[jenluckenbach]
