Ellie Update

Miss Ellie is doing EXCELLENT!  She is very smart & picks up on everything I teach her very quickly.  She has a great calm disposition and is very eager to please.  She has made a lot of new friends this past week but her very best friend is Roadie!  Here Ellie & Roadie are both practicing holding their down command and saying cheeeeese!  Ellie has completed heeling nicely at my left side & sitting when we stop.  Holding her sit (stays), down at my side with a down (stay).  she is super at coming when called either off the leash or on.  Today she started the "place" command as well as increasing the amount of time she has to hold her commands, adding more distractions & doing down from out in front & with some distance.  We still have a lot of work to get done this week before she goes home! :o)
