Cassie's training (with pictures)

Today was the third consecutive day of Cassie's leash training. It was raining for about a week after the storm, so it was impossible to train her very well.

I now go to my old elementary school to train her! It has a big field, and I go when there are no kids, few cars, and so much less distraction than my dog-heavy neighborhood. We train for 30 minutes, which is about how long her attention span is.

I bring cut up, tiny bits of steak and hot dog to motivate her, since (picky girl) dog treats don't always work, though Meat always does.

I run her around the field a few times to get her calmer, as the first day I came she was very anxious. Now she is getting used to it! I even got her to play a little during a break, which she would never normally do in public.

She is responding so well to the training, and I am so proud of my Cass!

Good girl Cassie!:D

Good girl. :) Somewhere as exciting as a field may call for higher value training treats. :-D We use dog kibble as treats in house, but when going outside, mine get anything from peanut butter in a food tube, wet dog food in a food tube, string cheese, dehydrated meat, sandwich meat, boiled chicken, etc. etc. Lol

Good girl! Clover is a piggy and loves/works for all food :rolleyes:

Her coloring is so pretty and I love that smile. Glad she's doing well.
