Learning

Yesterday I realized Annie needs to hit the books.  I need to be a little more intense in my work with her.  Of course, she is a lab, after all, and "come" or "Annie, come," has no special meaning to her.  But, we try.

Sage, believe it or not, was easy to train.  But for those who know her, I cheated and used a lot of small biscuits.  I am thinking of trying the same technique with Annie.  Food driven.

On our walk yesterday afternoon she figured out all sorts of ways to get around me as I was saying: Annie, come.  It was as if I was speaking French to her.

Hey, maybe that will work!  But I can tell who is learning (me) and who isn't (her).  So what else is new?

Murphy's day.
