Great weekend me and Arlo completed our level one lost dog tracking.
Training started early due to the weather before resting a dip in the river for Arlo.
Learned loads excellent teaching from Claire.
Hoping to do level 2 in November.
Never stop learning.

Sorry no pictures but we had an excellent third session with Hugo the tiny rescue dog yesterday. He can be a bit barky at other dogs.
Arlo and Mark joined during the session and Hugo and his owner Lucy smashed it.
He was looking at Arlo and then choosing to look back at his mum no barking, this was then rewarded. Lucy has put the ground work in over the last seven weeks.

Second session with Rosey building connection with her owner. This will support both her loose lead work and recall.

I start all my training with treats as rewards, some people worry that their dog will get fat or we are just bribing the dog.
During training we discuss reward schedules and phasing out rewards.
This does not happen over night.
Here is Arlo at 15 months doing 3000 of my human steps with no treats and on a loose lead.
As my back can play up, loose lead walking was always going to be a priority with a big dog.
This has been achieved by playing games to build our relationship and connection, rewarding her for being by my leg and attaching her lead to different parts of her harness when not training so as not to mess up our good work.
It’s taken time but it’s paid off.

Arlo on holiday again, due to training Arlo can generally settle anywhere.
