Quin is almost a year old (Nov 5) and I am very excited. I think her attention span is finally where I can really start to rely on behaviors. Today we did a sit stay with distraction. I threw one of her favorite toys around and had her sit. She did really well. I watch Pamela Marxsen on youtube she is a very good trainer, she uses positive clicker training. When Quin was real young I tried to train her but i was very frustrated either I wasn't doing it right or she was too young, but now... she gets it! and even offers behaviors that i don't ask for. Good behaviors! I still have a lot to work on but I am very excited about this new break through.
