This is my blog to help my keep track of the education of Miss Joule. I probably should have done this ages ago but nevertheless, here we go. Right now, the little miscreant is snoring away at my feet, sleeping off the after effects of last night's New Year's Eve party.
In the picture at left, you can see her after we first brought her home. Other than size, not much has changed since then. She is still a little naughtster!
Joule has been clicker trained from the start. Just to keep things straight, she has the following commands in varying degrees of completion:
- heel
- come
- front
- park (aka stay)
- get in (left side finish)
- finish (right side finish)
- down (verbal and hand signal)
- sit (verbal and hand signal)
- stand
- drop on recall
- get it
- get on it
- go
- starting out
- off
- tunnel
- table
As well, she has numerous other day-to-day commands like "crate" and "get you coat on". She is great at running out and around various obtsacles (cones, vinegar bottles, jump standards) on command. And, she immediately stops whatever mischief she is up to when I say "Joule, what are you doing?".
