Soli and I spent the day getting to know each other! We went to a local park to work on her heel command as well as introduce her to the e-collar. At first she was a little bit confused and spooked but she caught on quickly! She did try to pull me as we walked down the park trail in the beginning but is slowly getting the hang of it. She did jump up on me a couple of times so I corrected her every time she did. We also worked on her sit command as well as her come to sit. She was a little confused in the beginning and would try to wiggle out of her leash. After a couple of tries she got the hang of getting in the right position. Soli is being such a good girl as has gotten comfortable in her kennel. We ended the day with a little play time before dinner! She was exhausted! She ate all of her food and had a treat before bed!
