We have finished two more classes with Riley. One with his BFF Henry at the SPCA in Dublin and the other with his new friends Bear and Sadie in Castro Valley. It did him a lot of good getting more time working with other dogs, he seems to be less jumpy about dogs when we are out and about.
I learned a new trick, a training trick. I call it "cookie party". The instructor in the Castro Valley class had us treat for 30 seconds when working on recall. Make it a BIG event if they come when you call. It works great! I've started using it with Abby to make ignoring dogs easy when there is a cookie party if she keeps her attention on me, it's working really well. A small success but never the less a success.
