As far as obedience goes, Lucy is doing pretty doggone good. Since most occurrences of her acting up are from her crate and toward Raina, we spent some time “setting her up” to try to correct it. At first (before I thought to record), Lucy actually avoided Raina for a couple passes – she wouldn’t even look at her. It didn’t last long at all.
As we continued working with her, it became obvious that my suspicions were correct. If you’ve been keeping up with Lucy’s story, you will remember that I was worried about her e-collar having high enough levels to correct her. It doesn’t. What I have decided to do is to give it a break for the day and try again tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be putting two e-collar on her to see if that has a better affect. If not, there is another collar that I can order with high levels. (This collar only has low to medium levels.)
On the other hand, Lucy has repeatedly shown me that she can make a change after sleeping on the events that have occurred. After a good night’s sleep tonight, she may make better choices tomorrow.
