This month, Anna focussed on games and skills to build her confidence. This included some which helped her feel more comfortable working further away from her handler and making offers without handler input. Anna is doing really well with building her obedience sit and down durations when in an outdoor space – this is especially important because she prefers to be working in the fresh air as much as possible! She still finds ‘stand’ a bit tricky, and we’re working with her to help her be successful.

Anna is doing well with building her obedience sit and down durations when in an outdoor space. She prefers working in the fresh air! She still finds ‘stand’ a bit tricky and is working on being comfortable with stillness while standing. But, she absolutely loves kibble toss games, which are her favourite, and make work feel like play!
We’re so grateful for your support for Advanced Dog Anna and her ongoing journey.
