Obedience Number Three

Last night we were pleased. Blarney wasn't a star but close to it. He's very distracted by all that goes on around but in spite of the excitement performed most moves with aplomb. We will continue to reinforce voice commands rather than hand signals. In the kitchen, when we have his undivided attention, the hand signals work well but with distractions the voice is more reliable. To get him to see a hand signal often means bending way over to put the hand in his face. We'll be concentrating on having him hold a DOWN, STAY in the face of many distractions.
