I'm so proud!

Brought Friday (the raccoon) out on leash today so she could sniff around and have some enrichment, and while we were out, I tested my training on her. I've been training her since September to target to a laser pointer, and lately it's turned into targeting her onto a wooden disk and doing behaviors (wave, worry, think). So I placed her mark several feet away and sent her to it. She went right there, stood up and looked at me, and waited for her next command. It was awesome, as I've only started training her on the mark a few feet away. She caught on so fast! I'm really proud of her.

Anyways, took out Malaika as well, and got a picture.



I swear, they got the most unflattering expression on me, but at least Malaika looks good! I got the flower off Sage when I passed the new cougar trainers walking him on the lawn. They had stuck the flower in his neck chain - it was adorable, but it fell out while he was 'mowing the lawn'. I think he misses really getting his teeth into a kill and pulling it out, because that's what he does to the lawn ;)
