Rudi's training covers several crucial areas to support his development. Exposure and socialisation are key components, helping him build positive associations with various environments and experiences. This foundational work is essential for fostering a well-adjusted and confident dog.We are focusing on building Rudi's self-confidence through structured exercises and consistent training. Place training is also included, teaching Rudi to stay in a designated spot, which is useful for managing his behaviour at home and into the future. We are conditioning a marker to reinforce good behaviour and a another marker to correct undesirable actions. This balanced method helps Rudi understand what is expected of him. Additionally, we are addressing specific behaviours such as stopping jumping and preventing separation anxiety, ensuring he remains calm and composed even when left alone.We are also working on stopping nuisance barking, an important aspect for maintaining a peaceful household. Recall training ensures Rudi comes when called, which is vital for his safety. Basic positions such as sit and down are being taught to establish a foundation of obedience. Loose lead walking is another key focus, allowing Rudi to walk calmly on a leash without pulling.Before starting his Board & Train program, taking Rudi out was challenging as he would become highly stimulated by the slightest stimuli. Now, we are proud to see the significant improvements he has made. Halfway through his Board & Train program, Rudi is making remarkable progress. He is now maintaining calm behaviour, even in highly stimulating environments like a kids' playground.
Aston - Board & Train Program
Well after 4 weeks with Aston - He heads home tomorrow and what can we say but how proud we are of him! Patience, understanding, dedication and systematic work has been the recipe to achieve these results! We are excited to start the next step of Aston's journey which is now the transitional phase back home and helping his owners!
Aston - Board & Train / Day 1. We are excited to get to work with Aston who is currently with us for the next month on our Board & Train program. We will be documenting Aston's journey. Take a look at his initial response towards us!
No slow-motion or background music, just unedited footage of Emmy and me. The heeling position is precisely as desired - tight but not forging. Power will emerge with external rewards, but first, we're establishing signals to ensure reliable behaviour. The 'Out' command is also becoming dependable without help!(Take note of her attitude at the start! When we go to new environments - Happy and uncomplicated - this has been harnessed for our intended application / goals) Emmy was bred by @vonultimatedogshop
Dolly & Hank working on paying attention, down position, heeling and place training!
Croft is now really opening up and trusting me! This is now reflecting in her training sessions as she is a lot more responsive and motivated!We are working on building her self confidence, sits, downs, negative and positive learning, return to heel and heeling in this footage!
Getting Emmy comfortable working on the flexi pole in anticipation for the next steps in her development!
Stand in motion. Almost ready for the final picture!
Article indication with Ty!
Pay attention & Stationary heel picture! It has been deep & stressful learning for Elissa but she is dealing with it incredibly well & just to make it more fun for her, she is learning with Emmy 😵💫🤪🤣
Dolly & Hank have hit the ground running!!It's safe to say they'll enjoy a restful night's sleep after today's efforts.
Using TY to provide contrast for Elissa in anticipation for what the target behaviour (Heeling) will feel like with Emmy when all signals are in place.
