I think Daisy REALLY loved the ball pit in this weeks puppy play session ๐๐ฅฐ
Some loose lead walking and practicing an interrupter for distractions with Lily ๐ถ
Skye practicing her recall to a whistle ๐คฉ look at her go flying right back to her owner!
Amazing loose lead walking from Kai and a perfect example of using an interrupter cue to regain their attention from distractions! ๐คฉ
An interrupter is so useful for dogs that can get easily distracted or overexcited by other dogs, wildlife, people etc on walks ๐ถ
Some great loose lead walking from Skye past lots of distracting dogs ๐ถ isnโt she such a smartie pants ๐
Lots of connection with the owner from sweet little Sam on his first session of loose lead walking ๐คฉ
Buddy picked up hand targeting so quickly we were straight onto adding the touch cue!
Look at that improvement from Sonny in just a few weeks! Loose lead walking is one of the hardest things to teach your adolescent dog as all those hormones kick in, but with lots of consistent training (and yummy treats!) itโs always possible ๐คฉ
Chewie the Jackapoo demonstrating to the class the first steps of adding distance to your โWaitโ cue. Followed by him mastering distance AND duration by the end of the session ๐
Paddington having a go at the โtouchโ cue ๐ถ
Hand targeting is one of the most useful things you can teach your dog for training! It can be used as a backup for recall, or it can be used to build and shape lots of other behaviours and tricks, such as chin rest and spin ๐
Merry stepping up her game with some recall practice outside with dogs around ๐คฉ
Look at Sam all relaxed on his calm mat ๐
