As of tonight scherzo has passed her level three on the road behaviors! These are all the level one behaviors but in a new and strange place. She did some good zen and distance behaviors around lightposts while offleash and on main street in Bozeman. We also got her to target the crosswalk button. She never pushed it hard enough but it was still cute.

Now we are heading out of town to see a baby horse get born and work on level 3 behaviors in a place with no distractions. Its harder than you’d think to find a completely distractionless place to do clicker training when you live in a van. Even if you are in the van you can’t really move or stand up and people are walking by outside the windows etc. I think this is why she is still at only 10 sec. of eye contact eventhough I have been working on it with her.
