Happy Birthday Kaly

Kaly is 1 year old today. We have been working on Kaly using the Koehler's dog training method for 3 sessions. Things are going smoothly but she is very sensitive to corrections. She would "crawl" when on walks even if there are no corrections. It is not a pretty sight.. people passing by thought we beat her up pretty badly! We have been trying to think of ways to make her understand that there is no need for fear when she is not doing anything wrong... we think she is so hyper that she work herself up so much that she finds it hard to calm down and think through her actions....

Today, a miracle happen!...


We experiment working with Kaly on Koehler's method but with an ecollar... she is showing so much improvement and very little to no "crawls"!... Our thinking is that we remove the handler-dog conflict and she makes her own decision to walk next to Hannah to avoid stimulation from the collar. We used very low level on the collar (level 16). She wasn't screaming, yapping nor avoiding, but she was doing everything she was supposed to do...without any indication of fear!...

We joked that maybe she turn mature overnight!... maybe it is the ecollar... maybe it is just a miracle!
