Here is Brooklin a 10 month old Shepherd Mastiff cross and her young owner in their second Combo class lesson. After graduating my “kid’s ONLY” Beginner obedience class she wanted to keep training her dog. This 11 year old owner is the youngest student I have ever taught beyond a Beginner class. I am incredibly proud of both of them.

Here is Gaia on the same day but this time I have asked her owner to pat her leg rather than use treats or even pretend to have them. This method teaches the owner that control is not about how strong you are pulling on the leash to control your dog instead it is about leadership and building an emotional connection.

This is first of two videos.

Meet Gaia a one-year-old border collie from Port Hope. This is her second lesson of combo class and she is now working on the beginning of her off leash skills. The problem is the owner is constantly relying on her leash to control her dog. You can see how she is jerking and pulling on the leash as she attempts to keep Gaia beside her. The other thing you will notice is how her hand is waving in front of her dog tempting her as though she was luring her with treats.
Now I will post a second video where I take away the owners reliance on her leash only minutes later, and watch the difference it makes.

Meet Barney a young Sheepadoodle from Brighton. Barney has completed the beginner class and is now in the combo class. Combo class is three lessons of rally obedience and three lessons of agility. What I want you to notice is how the owner is directing her puppy around the cones and the distraction and has no treats in her hand.
