We’re still working on the peeing on command thing and it’s going really well! We now get 4 pees within a minute or so on each trip out. Fionn is now on board but Hutch is a bit resistant. Reilly is still working the game by lifting his leg multiple times and expecting a treat for each lift. Obviously Fionna doesn’t lift her leg but she’s always been really good about getting down to business before playing chase with the boys.
There’s actually been a couple side benefits to this new game. All four dogs wait for me to take them down rather than rushing right down the porch steps. We’ve also gotten a lot of practice recall and “No” (which they take to mean stop what you’re doing) and in general just watching me for the cue of what I want them to do next.
Yesterday they all sat relatively quietly in the kitchen while the UPS guy noisily left a package on the gym porch. Usually Fionn goes kind of crazy.
