…was canceled due to possible bad road conditions. We got a decent snow Tuesday/Wednesday and while the roads were clear, there was the threat of ice forming after it got dark. And with it being the last class, the instructor felt it would be nice if all the dogs could be there so we’re doing it next week.
We are to work on getting the pups out to new places and new things. I may be getting My Truck back today so hopefully Mike and I (and Joella) can go somewhere. Mike’s not been to the dog park yet.
Meanwhile, Mike is doing good. He SITS and WAITS until released when we put his food down. He sits and waits when we take his leash on and off. He’s not grasped DOWN yet, though. He is good with his RECALL although I’ve not worked that much with him on it. Same with STAY.

You can lure Mike under a coffee table (or anything closer to the ground than he is) and he’s likely to go down on his tummy. Good boy, Mike! Good Down!
Or, when he’s in a sit, run a goodie down his front to between his feet. Then move it straight out in front of him (smoothly and slowly). If he’s totally focused on it, he’ll go down to keep his nose in contact with the goodie.
