K9 Train Time

Recall!

Recall! A clear consistent cue. Varied reinforcement. Practice Practice Practice!

Recall!

Recall! Have a consistent cue, "Fido Here". Don't overuse it, if your dog hasn't responded, they need more training, probably in an environment with less distractions. Reward them as soon as they get back to you. Then vary the rewards, sometimes one treat, sometimes four or five, sometimes toy play. Keep them guessing. 😉 Then practice, practice and more practice.

Love these guys! 😍 Understand the exercises go home and practice. If you're not sure ask, then go home and practice. Some people might see a dog being given treats. I see connection and a dog looking to do more. Shadow is a rescue bull lurcher, who was barking and lunging. He attends classes weekly and they do their homework.

Happy Birthday Fleur 🎂 Keep being you!

Great work from Tuesday evening puppy class 👏 😀

Food chase games. It's not just about giving the dog a treat.

Recall again! Because if I haven't mentioned it before it needs practice! 🙃 This time with a mild low level distraction. Fleur's response was slower but she made the right choice. 😍

Recently I've been learning how to do front crawl correctly. 🙂 Whilst doing this it's really made me think and appreciate how my clients feel learning a new skill. With the swimming 🏊‍♂️ I have to think about kicking my legs, moving my arms and breathing. But all in a set way. Once I get my legs right and think about my arms or the breathing method, my legs slow down. The answer is to master one part so that muscle memory takes over. This is what we do with our dog training clients. They need to think about their dog, the lead, the food/treats, maybe a clicker, maybe a whistle, plus other equipment. It can be overwhelming and we completely get that, the answer is to break it down into manageable pieces and practice. Once that part is mastered we introduce another. If you're struggling with your training please get in touch.
