Happy 3rd birthday to Daisy!
Another training video :)
This video is on the same or similar to the last but a clearer picture and repeated several times to show you an example on how you can practice.
In the video, I say "stop" then "sit" then "ok" ...
Stop means your dog should stop moving or stay on the same spot until the next command.
Sit, is getting her into that sitting position and to wait for he next command.
Ok, is telling her she can do what she chooses and continues to walk/play.
You may notice the first few times when I say stop to Daisy. I actually stop moving myself so she knows that stop means stop.. as she progresses I don't need to stop as she already understands the command. I like to be able to walk past her before I say the word ok, so that she knows when I catch up to her, it's not an automatic release. When you practice this, make sure you say "ok" at different points, so your dog doesn't get in the habit of a specific spot.
Give it a go and see how you go, start with a lead and progress to no lead, like in this video, and repeat several times. It takes practice and patience but something all dogs should know how to do. Daisy is fantastic at stopping in most environments. However, we are still working on it around other dogs when she is very excited.
Be patient and give it a go! We would love to see some progress videos of your dogs stopping on command :)
Any requests for more training videos comment below, and like this post if it's helped you learn something for your training.
(Daisy is an almost 3year old kelpie X border collie)
A video to demonstrate 4 words for when your dog is off lead...
Stop, Sit, come & Ok.
Daisy was a bit hesitant today to listen, but she always stops moving when we say "stop," then she sits and waits for the next command which is to come then "ok" means she can do what she wants.
If you would like help with your dog, let us know. Sessions are available in the coming days and weeks, 7 days a week.
LIGHT UP COLLARS!
A video for your entertainment!
For those interested in walking their dogs when it is dark and worried you will lose sight of your dog, these collars are a brilliant way to know where your dog is in the dark. We have quite a few as we wanted to try different brands and must
Say they have been incredible!
(The fast red light is Daisy, our almost 3yr old kelpie X, the slower red light is Scoobie, our 5yr Koolie, the blue light is Essy, a senior koolie, and the white one is Max, a 15yr old mini poodle.)
Good morning all, today I have come across this video, which demonstrates the basic knowledge for dog CPR.
I believe everyone should watch this so you can have an idea of what to do in the event of an emergency with your dog.
Who said an old dog can't learn new tricks! Miss Ez is approx 12 years old and is a koolie, Ez wanted to join in today when teaching daisy so here is a video of her effort. Starts slow but watch till the end, awesome improvement from Essy!
Some more button training videos 😀 check out the enthusiasm of daisy learning this skill!
For those who know Daisy will know we taught her as a puppy to ring the bell to go outside.. today we have decided to teach her a word rather then a bell.
We have got a couple of buttons that can say different words. Today's focus is 'outside' when she presses the button it will say 'outside' then she goes out.
Tomorrow we will add another word, and each day keep adding a word to different buttons.
It's a great way to teach your dog to communicate :)
More training ideas for you all!
Teaching your dog to stay.
Below is a video of Essy doing a fantastic demonstration of stay.
This is something we will practice in our sessions and beneficial for all dogs to learn.
Put your dog in a sit and say the word "stay".. then slowly walk around them, repeat the word or hand signal as you need to and be sure to praise them at the end and say your free word to let them know they can now play, ours being "ok".
Start with a lead, then slowly take the lead away as they get better, when your dog doesn't move at all while your walk, try taking the lead off and for a big challenge try walking both directions. It takes practice but will succeed if you put the work in. If your dog goes to move don't praise just put them back to where they should be and start again, repeat until you succeed. (If you give in to them moving, it will be very hard to get then to stay again so don't give in, be patient)

If you would like more of these videos or for us to cover a specific skill level let us know and we will see what we can do.
An insight to the training method "stop"
Take a look at the video below and see how Daisy does it, this is a very beneficial skill for all dogs to learn especially when out in the open and alot of dogs around. If you can say the word "stop" and your dog stops then you will have great control out in the open. If you would like help on how to teach this, send us a message and we can definitely help you learn the skill.
Make sure to have the sound on so the video makes sence as to what we are doing.

Daisys job was to keep the sheep together and go through the fences, in this video you will see when the sheep try to escape, daisy is on it and gets the back in line.
