Laev Update

Wow. I was amazed at the number of people at ClickerExpo who asked about Laev! I even got TAGged for her blog! You guys are great. :-)

Super-brief update, because I've been asked: Yes, Laev seems much improved. She went back to regular training a week ago and did just great. I was also super-proud that even in her over-the-top excitement at FINALLY getting to go back to work, she was perfectly clean in her positively-trained hold and barks.

Two days later, she wasn't as clean on a different helper -- she brushed the sleeve as she went by, just asking a question -- and I'll have to do some work on that. No cheating.

But overall, it seems she feels much better physically, and that's what's most important.

pleased to hear

I am glad to hear that Laev is feling more herself.
Did you ever find out conclusively what the problem was?

conclusively?

Conclusively? No. But the veterinary chiropractor described some pretty major anomalies, and after his work Laev seemed MUCH improved, much higher energy (oh, yeah!) and then was able to work well the following week. So I'm assuming it was a serious misalignment (or several) which was causing considerable pain.

We'll be adding regular chiropractic to our physical regime. Pricey, but worth it, for Laev at least.
