[Cagdu] Dog day

[robert stigile]

Hello Tina,
Yes, she is adorable.
She works very well too.
Today, we went and walked a route, that was only left turns in 
the morning, and since we did right turns yesterday, this 
afternoon, we did both right and left turns, along with crossing 
streets.
W-rose has a nice smooth pace about herself, that is really nice 
to see.
She and I are both tired, as are all of the classmates, which is 
nice that we have the rest of the evening to ourselves, accept 
for watering and relieving.
We will back at it tomorrow, out in the heat working our dogs.
I have found, that there are only two things that w-rose does not 
do well, which are when we do obedience, the last task is to have 
her facing me then call her as I guide the leach towards my left, 
she wants to come towards me but end up sitting facing me.  
instead of coming around to my left side and sitting and facing 
the same way I am facing and when we enter from the outside into 
the building, she does not want to sit, she just wants to get in.
These are the minor adjustments we are working on, but they will 
come in time.
Otherwise she is doing guide work great and is really good at it.
Take care,

Robert Stigile
