We returned home from our trip to Chicago and Banjo returned his stay at Champion's Resort in Beloit. The report on him was that he was well behaved and only needed a few corrections from Sadie, the resort canine. Older dogs are the best teachers, our puppies learn so much faster what is acceptable canine behavior.
The reunion occurred at the OccuPaws training session this evening. We did some mall walking, greeting many of the shoppers and FINDing things. The FIND command is used to teach the puppy what certain items are and eventrually how to lead their partner to them. Banjo "found" the door, the elavator, the escalator, and the counter.
We also introduced the young puppy to the BACK command. Being his first attempt, he didn't have a clue. Banjo has proven to be a quick study, so if we work on this, he should have it in time for our next session, in a couple weeks. It helps us to focus on one action between sessions.
Banjo has already settled in. He is at my feet, snoring while I type.
