It was cold, but not too bad, but I didn't mind. Missy and I love working in the snow... especially after a day being inside with a cold! I was glad to get outside again.Very nice! Looks colddddddd.......
@southerngirl: On my walks down our street I tell my Missy 'leave it' when a car comes and she does, quite often... but it's more when a car is coming towards us that she reacts - or at the park. It's like I need to teach her 'let's go' with a treat in front of her nose when cars are coming in our direction to start with, just like when I first taught her what 'let's go' meant when she was 8 months old.You've done a great job teaching Missy come and "leave it". It looks like she is close to being ready to be allowed off leash in your back yard. There is this game that I just found that I'm going to use for my Missy's reactivity that you might be able to apply to your Missy's getting ready to be off-leash training. The game could help you get your Missy's attention when there is a distraction around, such as squirrels or cars. Here's a video for it.
Rory will randomly lunge at passing cars. Some days he does, some days he doesn't, it's odd. What helped him, one of my past foster Beagles, and Shiloh was to have him sit and watch me while the car passes, I wait for it to go out of site. After a while Shiloh would sit when she saw a car!@southerngirl: On my walks down our street I tell my Missy 'leave it' when a car comes and she does, quite often... but it's more when a car is coming towards us that she reacts - or at the park.
