Della Day #12

August 16th, 2009

Today is the 12th day for Della, the two-year-old Pit Bull.  I have her here for board and train for obedience training, aggressive dog training, and dog behavior training using the electric dog training collar.  She has been doing extremely well the past few days.  She is starting to use her energy only when I am working with her, or exercising her.  Her energy was off the walls when I first got her here, and now she is slowing things down and relaxing.  Now that she is slowing things down she is starting to focus a lot better.  At first it was really hard to get her to focus on me for longer than a few seconds, but now, when I am working with her, I have about 80% of her focus.  She is doing better every single day, which is just great!
Below is a video from today’s e-collar training session.  Scroll down a few posts and compare this video with her very first time on the e-collar.  Isn’t it a huge difference?  As you can see, in the first video, she just has so much energy and wants to sprint back and forth with all her might, because she doesn’t know how to handle her energy.  In this new video you can see that she is starting to use her energy properly by focusing on me and concentrating to stay by my side.  There are a few instances where she bounds off in another direction, but she stops quickly, and brings her focus back on me.  I am hoping that in the next few days she will be able to be by my side 90% of the time, with a few of my dogs around.  She’ll get there!
