Shenanigans

While I was at work today my brother decided to make some lunch for himself in the oven. Somehow when he was getting the tray out of the oven, he dropped something and ended up slamming the door of the oven so hard that the St. Francis of Assisi clock hanging on the wall fell to the ground and broke in half.

Everyone starting yelling and my parents went running in to see what happened and amidst all of this, Audrey was nowhere to be found. After things calmed down a bit, she reappeared in the kitchen and asked my Mom to open the door to her crate because she wanted to put herself to bed for being bad! My silly puppy.

We had a training session tonight and we worked on:
Sit
Down
Stand
Look (at the food in my hand)
Watch Me
"Audrey"
Shake
Touch (when we worked on it she would touch the palm of my hand with her nose and Spencer - who also knows the touch command since I teach it to all my dogs - was touching the back of my hand trying to get a click)

We also worked on ignoring food on the floor and watching me instead, which will come in handy in the ring when other exhibitors drop their bait. So far she's really solid with Sit, Stand, Watch Me/Audrey, and Touch is coming along real nice. We just started 'touch' yesterday but I find that dogs always catch on really quickly to that one and I use it as my gauge to see if they are truly understanding the clicker.

Our next adventure is going to be getting her used to the PediPaws (dremel-y thingy) and hopefully getting a bath sometime this week.
