Training Day 2...
Justin and I took Lilo for a walk today. We worked on just her heel, and for the most part she did really well and we only had to correct her a few times whenever a car went by (she likes to chase cars... ) When we got to the park Lilo loves, I took her off leash and gave her the command to stay. After a few minutes I gave her permission to go and sniff around, she squatted to do her business, and that is when I noticed the other dogs. I should have known to look for other people and dogs around (Lilo is very reactive to other dogs)... but there are hardly other dogs at this park.. Thank goodness for her being short and the other dogs being on the other side of the garbage bin. I got her to come and clipped her leash on.. just in time for the owner and his dogs to come around the dumpster.. I dropped her leash, knowing she is better meeting new dogs when not attached to me.. she still beat up the smaller of the 2 dogs, and I was very embarrassed.. I walked her around and did some obedience with her, making her listen and not pay attention to anything but me. She has been really good around other dogs lately, but apparently we need to work on it still (it will be an ongoing process for her for the rest of her life...) thankfully the rest of the walk was uneventful, and we made it home with no more incidents. We will continue with training tomorrow.
