RAINBOW now can rock a 5-minute βstandβ with no kibbles! She is practicing proofing this skill/duration and other obedience skills with various distractions on campus. Rainbow has been practicing βgo settleβ as an incompatible behavior to scavenging and is making nice progress. She can be told βhereβ or βreleaseβ off leash and will check in with her handler and ignore the kibbles on the floor. Way to go, Rainbow!
