Today's training adventures

Today (as in the days past but today I am posting about it) we separated the dogs and worked individually with each one of them and here is how it went. 

Cena:  Went very well.  She worked with both me and each of my kids and she did very good.  She loved jumping on me when I am sitting in the grass and give me hugs.  We also worked her in the house quite a bit and it went very good.

Willow:  Willow is simply a love.  She was worked with both me and both of my kids.  We did alot of walking...worked in the house today and she did very good.

Blue:  Blue has had some fears of walking on the leash but each time we walk her by the time that her session is about 1/2 over she is walking beautifully and on a loose leash.  She is REALLY good at the affection and is doing very good.  She also worked with me and both of my kids today and spent alot of time in the house as well.

Rocco:  Rocco is excellent at following along.  Every once in a while he thinks that he wants to "take charge" but then we stop and he understands all over again what he is suppose to be doing.  He is doing very good in his training and is VERY affectionate. He also worked with me and both of my kids and spent time in our house today.
 
Scout:  Scout is working on the desensitization and temperment evaluations.  We are working with him on some possible food aggression, but he is just new to the program and going to see how he progresses.  He spent alot of time working with mainly both of my kids today and spent some time in the house as well. 

Congo:  Congo has a new name from my sister who has been doing alot of work with him.  She absolutely loves this dog to no end.  I think it is funny.  Congo is doing very good walking on a leash, spent time in the house today.   Worked mainly with my 2 kids and is a very confident dog. 

Minnie:  She is doing very good.  She is afraid of the least in the beginning of the training process each day, but by the time that training is 1/2 over she is walking very nicely on a loose leash.  She is very affectionate and prefers to be in your lap.  She worked mainly with me today because of her fear on a leash.  I want to make her comfortable before my kids start to work with her.

 Omega:  She is doing very good also, but has alot of the same walking on a leash fear like Minnie has.  Just like Minnie she has this fear in the beginning of the training but by the time that 1/2 of the training session is over she is doing alot better.  She seems to do alot better with my son working with him and he has alot of patience with him.  She also spent some time in the house today. 

Harley:  She is doing pretty good. She is funny...she responds VERY well with my daughter but when it comes to me working with her she much rather be stubborn and not move.    She spent the majority of the time working with my daughter and working in the the house.

After we were all done with the individual training we spent about another hour to hour and half in the dog yard doing alot of group work/play.  The dogs were tired and mainly wanted to lay down and melt.  It is only 92` outside today.   UGH!!!!!
