IAADP Training Requirements: Weekly Training Overview

Age: 4 Months
Week of: June 30 - July 6, 2014  Total Hours (3 hrs on Site) + (2 hrs Outings)

Health: 

- Brushed Thursday
- Trimmed nails Saturday 

- Elsa got a bath on Sunday afternoon

Problems: 

- There has been some improvement on the mouthing.  I think her teething is beginning to slow down!

Outings: 

- Tuesday evening daddy took Elsa and Britta to his game group and they got to play with those dogs

- The fireworks definitely didn't bother Elsa as much as I expected and now I have another idea for desensitization outings: taking the pups to the park next to the baseball field on nights they are going to have fireworks.  She wasn't bothered at all by the fireworks and I want to keep it that way!  As soon as I have earplugs (or whatever our vet recommends), we will start this tradition.

Socialization: 
- Hoover Dog Park Friday afternoon

Obedience: 
- As usual, we've spent once a day working on basic commands while eating
- We are slowly dragging out "stay"

Service Dog Tasks: 
- Beginner task games were practiced, as usual.  Not much will change until she is a bit older.
