Day Two of Paris' bark rehab

Thinking much of her barking is due to a bored and frustrated mind, I took Paris out to work weaves and did no luring but rather made her think what I needed. We worked them for about 10 minutes and did some teeter work. I then took her to the sand/gravel pit we were bidding a job on and let her run around in the pit working on "checking in and reorienting". She did a fantastic job. She run all over then come charging back and sit looking up at me. So she got a lot of click, praise, pet. The pit owner's wife had her Bichon/Papillion cross along, who Paris wanted to play with, and Paris did wonderful "leave it's" as the little dog was not as impressed with Paris as Paris was with her. She has been a bit a quieter since getting some "work done'.
This weekend I plan on teaching her to pick and carry things as I used a "find it" and "take it" cue to get Indigo to stop barking with great success. So a change of the routines and rules should also help. We shall also officially begin the Relaxation Protocol.
Fun fun and Good Girl Paris for being so enthusiastic to work adn learn and understand what is an appropriate inside voice.
