Kris is coming along great with the Prong collar, most of the time I do not even have to tighten the leash. The area we are training in two or three times a week is not really big and today we had five dogs all working on something different. It is great for proofing as I will get her to sit or down stay while someone is throwing a dumbbell over the jump, etc. Today though one of the Shepherds and the Golden got in a bit of a noisy scrap, no damage, but Kris got really excited so I took her over to a corner and just did some quiet training with her till things settled down.
One thing we do is all sit in a line, one person will go out with their dog and do a stand/stay. Each of us will leave our dogs in a sit/stay and go over the standing dog, one by one. I had not done a lot of stand but Kris is being really good even while four people go over her. We do figure 8's with or without the posts having their dogs sit alongside them. Kris is really learning a lot, still has her "puppy" moments when she play bows and wants to play but less and less all the time.
