Cockers can move slowly…see! 🤣🐾

Cockers do have an ‘off’ switch you have to find it…by training.

They have compact little bodies and are power houses, strong legs, agile and full of energy.

Full of fun too…

So if you are thinking of getting one or two…ask yourself if you have the time to train the dog. By the way double that estimation!

Do you have patience to be consistent?

Yes provide bed, food, water and exercise but these little machines (all dogs) need leadership.

So if you can’t commit to these things the best dog for you is a cat ! 🤣🤣🤣

Training a dog takes time, training yourself can often take a lot longer.

Slowly building your knowledge, making mistakes and learning from them will lead to success. Overtime not over night, your training will start to fall into place.

🐾 Be persistent

🐾 Be patient

🐾 Be picky (on what you want)

These two are gearing up for working…and I love Springers (don’t tell the others)🐶🤣

They are fast, intelligent and always want to do more…not that I let them.

Training can be done in the kitchen, the hallway, in and out of doors and of course in open space. Don’t rush and remember to breathe!

Between client walks I go on walks with the pack….🐾

If you feel like your training is up hill and not working….Stop.

Take a day to pause and think…often you have the solution all the time…it just has to surface.. Bashing away at same thing over and over may not get the results you need.

Take a breath….and start again. 🐾👍🏻

Tongue out Tuesday ! These three have been out training together…it’s great when all the individual training pays off.

They don’t mind the rain so neither do I…each of them is different, the way the move, hunt in cover and retrieve….and we occasionally sit to slow the brains down….and take pics good job boys. 🐾👍🏻

Silence can be a route to calm….often using sound can excite a dog, repeating sounds can lead to the dog not ‘hearing’ the command.

Here I have a Cocker who I am working on his delivery of a dummy…my aim is to have him hold the dummy and sit.

How hard can it be! 🤣 I have used sound (commands) to teach him, along with hand signals.

But for this dog, silence is my superpower, commands yes, noise and excitement no. Give your dog the time and yourself the patience when training - rush at your peril.

He wants my attention, and praise but I chose not to give it to him when he’s excited….he works it out…for himself. I praise him when he’s done what I asked…but I still give the praise calmly anymore than this and he would start to wibble about again.

All dogs are different, and learn at different paces…so finding what works for your dog and all of mine is key.

Watch how he calms after his initial BAFTA performance…silence speaks for its self. He has taught me more than I have taught him….

And every day is a school day 👍🏻🐾

Nothing to see here 🐾

Have your dog sit and do nothing is a skill….let me explain. Your dog is stimulated by sound and movement (dogs, leaves, cats, balls etc)

And also by smell that is a given.

If your dog a trigged by distractions and unexpected movements and sounds then they need steadiness training.

They need to learn to switch off and be calm…it takes time, and their focus then lies on you…not the barky dog approaching them!

Your dog observes you all the time and you communicate mostly from your face, voice and hands to them…so use them as training aids.

These three are doing some steadiness training with a dummy flying over them…we have built up to a flying object.

They also look back to me for their next move…which today was do more of nothing.

The result - calm dogs, who stay put and become spectators. 🐾👍🏻

Over !

Sometimes you may not want your dog to jump and run - until you know it’s safe.

Broken glass, barbed wire and other hazards can be on the ground. Train for it…sit them up and teach them to go over on command.

Start small so over a broom handle low to the ground and build up…to a big tree stump for this large dog.

Good job Mr Lab.

And just like that…..the training comes together. Keep going, keep working and you will keep seeing results! 🐾👍🏻
