Sit, Stand, Down, Stand

The second class went very well. Kai and I were the only ones out of our class to show up, so we got individual attention. We spent the beginning of the class class working on “sit and stay while being petted skill” (which was tremendously improved) and the “walking skill” (the second criteria.) We need to work on turning left and right as well as the stops in the middle and in the end.

 I will also need to work on training him to stand  on command from both a seated and a down position (the first part of criteria three.) The combination we need to practice is: sit, stand, down, stand. Taking Kai out in public to practice these skills will definitely give us a real life experience and a good foundation to help people in healthcare facilities.
