Seven has fully integrated into our home - meaning we don't have to have baby gates up throughout our house to manage the environment for everyone. We do still keep our dogs separated when eating and that will always remain in place.
Our longer than usual integration has worked out well as we haven't had a scuffle between dogs which was very important in setting everyone up for success. This is really great considering we have two strong personality terriers in our home. All the training Seven and I have been doing has also helped a ton with his impulse control and as Seven has more impulse control, we have less stressed dogs in our house.
Seven and I were practicing "Go to mat" and someone thought she needed to join in!
And then look who else thought he needed to get in the mix!
That's too many dogs for one mat so, I went and found Catty's mat. It was time for musical mats and Catty is hustling to get to her mat!
Check out Seven "I'm on my mat with all this mayhem"
And everyone gets reinforced with a yummy treat for going to mat!
And out comes the video camera!
Catty and Seven know this game and are very focused at the task at hand. D'light as usual is goofing around not concerned about a food reinforcer.
Good dogs!
Lovely work Catty and Seven - they love to work!
D'light says "No thank you I'd rather go watch for critters out the window"
"Where are you... I'm waiting..."
