TAMING THE GREEN EYED MONSTER

Tory and Patches share a lot of tension, each determined to have the lions share of attention. Working them together has been a gradual process.
**
a start - maybe a good one - the major problem - over excitement *
Patches nips at Tory when he gets excited.
This behaviour usually draws a disproportionate response.

This 'brace' lead with the short leash seem to help settle things down.
This is a respectable sit/stay.
They do not get very much leash work, dad's problem. None the less, come to heel is working fine. Individually, we refuse to use a choker for training, preferring to snap the leash into the dead ring on the collar.
We view chokers strictly as security items.

Many tricks can be taught 'off lead', especially, if you are not a stickler for perfection. Cute works for us.
