Day 7 -- Goodbyes

It's our last day with Miss Layla Blu so we had to get all our last minute snuggles in while we had our chance.

We worked on generalizing some of her new commands today. When dogs are taught something new they usually don't generalize it, meaning they don't understand that a command means the same thing in a variety of environments. It doesn't take much to teach them that "yes, 'bed' means lay down on this bed too." She picked this us pretty quickly as we practiced on a variety of beds today.

This will help her transition back to home too. She may need reminders but because she has practiced in different environments with different beds it will make it much easier for her.

So the girl who follows her nose is heading home...


And she will really be missed by all. One thing is for sure, she will definitely go home a tired girl. She's worked hard and she's played hard this week...she's probably ready for a vacation.
