Valentine came back to her raiser just in time to celebrate her first birthday! That weekend she met up with her friends – Pumpkin, Bonnie and Ocean for a fun filled afternoon at Playland for a β€œgirls only” birthday party. This month, because of her heat cycle, Valentine was not in class. We worked on the β€œstand” cue at home and with sitters. She still struggles with this cue a bit but is getting the hang of it. Her loose leash walking is going back to basics with training as she did experience the β€œheat brain” that has caused some disruption to the training. She ended the month with a visit to her Kits sitters, Jennie and Tom and had some great exercise opportunities in Pacific Spirit Park while her raiser took a vacation in the USA.
