Maturing Glory

Her incisors all just came in over the last 2 weeks, so she is starting to mature a bit and it is definitely observable in her attention span. I have been doing a lot of sits just randomly in the house always getting her to move her bottom forward towards her front legs.
I have not done a whole lot of stands (although I have done some) or any real downs/drops. She has been outside all the time, now, dragging a long line because she had started to play 'keep away' and I DO NOT want that to continue at all. So I have been doing a lot of fun recalls outside just to introduce her to the word COME. She is doing very well at that. One thing that she really played keep away for was getting in the car because she always went in the crate in the car. So I have let her stay loose in the car on a few occasions with Addie especially and the other two occasionally and that seems to have changed her mind about the car. She wants to get in it now.
So today I took her into the shelter again (with the heat on which was so nice) and I put her on the training table. I did a bit of casting over to the food bowls as I had done before but this time I insisted that she wait till I sent her to the bowl and that she watched me do the cast and wow she did well for such a tot! She of course loves doing this. Next I did a lot of tuck up sits with her and each one followed by the kick back stand with the hand signal. This should work well for in the comformation ring....I hope.
After that I took her off the over head cable and did a lot of sphynx drops with her. Her first ever and we did it with Benny Bullies and boy by the end she had that one figured out. I want this style of drop to become an entrenched habit because it will be so much easier for signals in Utility as well as for the drop on recall in Open.
Then I did some attention exercises with her as per Connie Cleveland. It was hard though to get her to stop paying attention to me so I tossed out a ball and a kong and then corrected her for looking at them. Bad thing to do and I knew it as soon as I did it. I want her to look out at marks so I have to use something else for that. Not sure what yet but probably will do it at members night instead. Each time I correct her for not giving attention she received lots of praise and occasionally a treat.
I then did a sit stay with her and she did VERY well with that. WE followed that with a brief stand stay and several stands on the ground (we had done them on the table).Her attention span has changed dramatically over the last week or so. She is in another photo shoot in a few weeks or so, so the stand stay and sit stay will make for a much more enjoyable shoot.
We ended everything with some fun retrieves on the long line and praised her for coming back and let her keep the toy for a bit so she feels no threat of losing her treasure. She had spent the weekend with our granddaughter who has her retrieving scent articles in the house for her. Alberta has learned to throw things for Glory so that Glory will quit pulling her pony tail or as Alberta calls them...her pony hairs!
