I've had Indy in basic obedience for the past month at Petsmart. He's done well with most everything, if he weren't so excited all the time, I'm sure he'd do better.
I've been working on the blocks that Catharina posted a few months ago, and have been working a lot on downs for long periods of time. Last night was the first time we tried sit/stay and down stay. Most of the owners couldn't even get their dogs to stay. I put Indy in sit/stay droped the leash and walked 10 feet away and came back. Then I put him in a down/stay and walked all the way down the aisle, cut up a few aisles and made a huge circle around. As I came back around the aisle and could see him again, there he was, laying right where I left him. The expression on the teacher's face was classic! I don't think she thought Indy was capable of such control! What a good boy!!!!
