Dulce Alerts Still Surprise Me
August 31, 2013
We've been working together for over a year now, and I still get caught by surprise.
People ask me what her alert is – I had trained for a "pick up" of the leash, but that just doesn't work for either of us.
Banging the crate door and whining when she is "in her officer" and pawing at me when she isn't works fine. Or when we're at the gym and she gets up from her mat.
Also, she does it SO early. Last night I was 103, from a 180 just an hour before. If that trend had continued, and I'm sure it would have, we'd have been caught on a highway under construction. Never pretty.
Long before it will be a problem.
Good dog.
