Today is Zoe’s sixth day here for the Boot Camp training program. She is a 4-month-old German Shepherd, and she is here for dog behavior training, obedience training, potty training, treadmill training, and off leash training using the electric dog training collar. In my last post I wrote about how much she is struggling with potty training. For the last 4 days I have had her on a very strict potty training schedule, and have kept her with me always, instead of putting her in a crate. In the last four days she has only had one accident in the house, which is awesome compared to how awful she was doing in the crate! She is also sleeping through the whole night without needing to get up in the middle of the night to go potty. I am so pleased with her progress so far! I am going to slowly integrate her back into her kennel, because once she goes back home, she will need to be in her kennel during the day while her owners are at work.
Below, are two videos of Zoe today. One is of her on the treadmill, and the other one is of me working with her on the e-collar off leash. She is learning so fast here. I’m so happy to see her off leash on the color so quickly, considering how young she is. She’s going to do so well here once she’s done!
