Hi! 

How's she getting on?

[DianeG972]

Hi, she’s getting on well thank you. We have only just begun today with the training, had my daughter step out for a minute 4x times today after hiding a few pieces of carrot around, one of Roxy’s favourites. She gobbled up the carrot and then went searching for more every time, didn’t notice my daughter had gone. At dinner time she fed her first before going out back and again no problems. We will keep this up, extending the time slowly and mixing up the games a little but so far so good.

That sounds very promising! Just keep remembering to err on the side of caution and go slowly. It's easy to get carried away when things are going well but it's always better to go too slowly rather than too fast.

Fingers very firmly crossed!

[DianeG972]

Thank you for the advice, to be fair she hid the carrot well and it took her the minute to find it. But we are pleasantly suprised and will continue very slowly. We plan to keep with the minute a few times a day for a week and then add 30 seconds every week.
