These two videos are the last videos I took of Zoe before she went home last Saturday (sorry it has taken me so long to get these posted). Zoe did so great here for the boot camp program! The first video is of her first time working on the place command off leash with two dogs as a distraction, so she does mess up a few times. The second video is of her walking off leash by my side. She ended up doing so well with both of these training exercises by the time she went home. I am so proud of her and her progress. She was very willing to learn, and very fun to work with. The only thing I just couldn’t get under control with her, was her potty training. She is just such a difficult dog when it come to potty training. She doesn’t care if she lays in her pee/poo, she doesn’t care how big or small her kennel is, it doesn’t help to feed her in her crate (so she gets the idea of ‘I eat here, not go to the bathroom here’), and it didn’t matter what type of feeding/water schedule I had her on. Any time she was in her crate she would have an accident. It was something I could never figure out with her (and neither could countless other trainers I spoke to about it). Her owners understand and are willing to work with her until she does understand that her kennel is not where you go to the bathroom, which is good that they are very patient people! Overall, I think Zoe did so awesome here, and she is definitely going to be missed!
