Training Update

Tye is doing wonderfully! I am so proud of my little hound at all of his progress. My roommates and I have been very consistent and Tye has finally gotten the idea down pat. I think that this is going to be the last one regarding this training technique for a while and I will update you with any new information regarding this "place" training.

Connecting to others outside of my safe realm

I have to say that this class has made me more bold. I am not usually one to try to connect with others. I am more of a passive learner and observer. I am now working on this fear of connection and working towards better understanding in my training techniques. After this week's session in class I was motivated to connect to many more people so I started with online forums.

I found a good one (it seems) and I am starting to participate and connect. The forum is called Dog training and Health Forum. I am just getting started and I will let you know what I think about this and what I can learn from others about training my silly dog. I hope that I can also give some advice from my experiences as well.

I have also started participating in message boards on Animals Planet's "It's Me or the Dog." I am very excited about this because I believe that a lot of these people have similar training ideals as I do. I like the idea of positive training techniques that Victoria Stillwell uses in her training techniques.

I am also using my Twitter account to connect to the outside world. I have started following several different training experts and people in my training world.
