Big key #2 is work time! With Matilda I worked with her whenever I felt like it and I wasn't getting anywhere well now every evening we have a little work session go on a walk to break things up a little then we come back we have another session.
Peopl may think this sounds odd or wierd but my work session is. I make her sit and stay and back slowly away from her till I am a good distance away, I let her sit for a bit , then call her! At first since obeying is the issue I am working on I figured she wouldn't come directly to me, but she does!!
Yesterday I did something new. The chickens were there I had her sit and stay I backed away and just stood there! She stayed and wagged her tail she looked around but stayed! And when I called I hoped she wouldn't dive for the chickens and she didn't ,she came directly to me! I praised her!!
