All the hard work is paying off. Many, many hours have gone into proofing an auto 'leave it'. And now she can walk over and past bones, greasy takeout containers, and smelly paper towels, and leave them alone in exchange for a tasty treat from her handler! 🥳

This is huge. She has had several obstruction scares so this skill is so important. My heart is bursting with pride!

Went to a pet friendly store yesterday to let Sjiriki pick out a toy for his birthday (which I can’t believe is this weekend already!!) and since he seemed up for it we did a little bit of training as well 😊 We’ve not done much in the form of training for quite a while, especially not in public, so we kept things really simple. We practiced the counting game, the ping pong game, a few hand targets, and moving together. He did so good!

Canihiking with the best boy 😊 We’ve recently introduced a new cue for moving to the left side of the trail and he picked it up so fast! I introduced it at the start of a hike, and he pretty much had it down by the end. He’s such a smart baby 🥰

Started doing some muzzle training with Sjiriki yesterday 😊 He picked it up so fast, already pushing his nose in after the first session! I do need to get him a bigger muzzle I think, as this one seems just a bit too narrow around his cheeks. But it’s fine for now as a training prop!

ID 1: a muzzle with a treat hole in the front is held close to the camera, framing the face of a husky who sits behind it, looking up.
ID 2: the husky pushing his nose into the muzzle to get a cookie through the treat hole.
