Another adolescent this time Spud and his owner working on some impulse control around distractions he is a great character and adolescence can be a struggle at times But with some consistency and understanding from the human end of the lead we can help our dogs navigate their way to adulthood

Adolescent GSP Balin working nicely with his owner on a 5 meter line he is a lovely dog a little over exuberant at times and can have some big reactions around other dogs which we are working on just love watching him move so elegant

Short update we have added two rugs on the floor for Rupert to stop on to give him a little more comfort to sit when his owner stops we had about at least a 50% increase in sits during the exercise compared to last week a small change to the environment to help the dog be successful isn’t mollycoddling him it’s helping him be more successful and with patience and understanding we will reduce the need for the rugs

Today we lowered our criteria we are ultimately looking for a sit from Rupert when we stop in doors he is spot on with it but when we took it outside he was struggling with other distractions so we are looking for stillness and eye contact in stead of the sit and low and behold we actually got 2 sits out of the 8 repetitions we did still a way to go to get Rupert and his owner where they want to be but a nice illustration of by sometimes asking for a little less from our dogs can give them the time and space to actually give us more

Eight month old Balin 1st time working on the engage disengage exercise we adjust our distance in order for him to be able to successfully listen to the marker YES and then at the end disengage from the distraction (person at the bus stop) a nice example of utilising everyday scenarios as learning experiences for both dog and owner

Reinforce the behaviours you like a short extract from me preparing my tuna training treats took me about 5 minutes Millie quietly in a down gets intermittently rewarded for this behaviour initially I fed her for a sit now it’s for a down I haven’t asked her for either of these behaviours just rewarded her. When she offered them and changed my criteria for the reward from sit to down over a period of time at any point Millie is free to get up out of the down and either leave the kitchen or move around it, I feel this is a nice simple example of utilising everyday interactions with our dogs as as a chance to train and offer our dogs some nice feedback for preferred behaviours

Millie and I working on her understanding that being on the platform gets her access to the rewards and that by remaining on it regardless of what I do again gets me to place some treats on the platform I usually use a mat for this exercise but it was to windy this was only the second time I have used the platform she really is a smart girl to clever for me at times that’s for sure 🤦♂️ #rewardbasedtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #dogs #imdt #trainingdog #dogtrainers #black #labs #blacklabsofinstagram #blacklabsrule #blacklabsquad #blacklabsofinsta
A great session from Rupert and his owner lots of engagement, he is on a 5 meter line with lots of opportunities to investigate the environment but is happy to move with his owner a huge testament to the work they have both put in from my 1st visit 2 weeks ago

The wonderful Barney working on relaxing on his mat a great job today from both owners and dog we even had their youngest child eating in his high chair while this was filmed that is usually where Barney is scavenging for crumbs they are ready to add in some more duration and a variable reward pattern then we will look at adding some more low level distractions provided they continue to progress nicely and if at any point we progress to quickly we will take a step back and make things easier for Barney to succeed #cockerpooofinstagram #cockapoo #rewardbasedtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #dogs #imdt #dogtrainers
