Lena files-day 2

Today was one of those days I'm sure my students have. I worked a 12 hour day. Lena stayed home because I knew I wouldn't be able to give her the attention she demands at work. You know the story "the Shoemaker's child doesn't have shoes."

A few minutes tonight before bed to see if she can generalize the platform behavior to home using a yoga block. Here is what I learned:

Yoga blocks are not good platforms forLena  (Yes, Wendy, you were right!) But she did generalize the cue. 

Working her around multiple other dogs is VERY arousing. She can't focus for very long. She wants them out of her space. She WANTS to work! All areas we will need work on. 

Until tomorrow.
