Big dogs, visiting and training with friends

I brought Terra to Rachel's craft party yesterday. We stopped by Point Isabel first so that Terra could run around. She met three Great Danes. She's intimidated by large dogs, even some lab/golden sized ones, and will hunch down and tuck her tail around giant dogs. After the initial greeting, she saw them playing and was curious and snuck up for more sniffing.

Once at Rachel's, she wandered and sniffed everything for an hour, then fell asleep on the couch for the rest of the evening. We did a couple of mini training sessions for conformation. I put on the slip lead, gave the cue for her to stand and watch my hand, and then Rachel or Agnes would reach toward her head. She got a treat for continuing to look at my hand, or for looking back if she got distracted. She did quite well! Agnes was able to touch her chin without Terra looking away.

I took her to the back yard to potty before we left, and she peed right away, which meant that she'd been intentionally holding it while in Rachel's house. Good girl.
