How long does it take to fully train a dog? There is no end in dog training, you don't just stop at teaching your dog the basics.
If you don't use it, you lose it.

Training a dog is full time job and it becomes very hard when you also have other 6 or 7 dogs to take care of.
I'm trying my best to be consistent and to use the feeding time for training. We still have many things to work on and to fix, but he is a fast learner and veeery food motivated... So we will get good results at the end. 😊🖤

Sometimes we hear people say that teaching tricks is a “waste of time” or that tricks training is not “serious” dog training. Here are 5 reasons to consider teaching your dog a trick.
1. Body awareness
Performing tricks requires your dog to move their body in different ways. To do so they need to have a good awareness of the position of their limbs in relation to one another and the rest of their body.
Tricks to for proprioception, co-ordination and flexibility include:
• Front feet on an object and pivoting with back legs
• Backing up
• Paw targeting
• Spin
• Bow
2. Fun
Tricks training is fun! There is no pressure on you or your dog to be able to perform a trick in distracting situations unlike “safety exercises” like a recall, emergency exit or control positions.
3. Builds reliable foundation skills
Teaching tricks builds on your dog’s foundation skills in an indirect and fun way. By teaching tricks, you are transferring the fun and joy of tricks onto everyday behaviours like name recognition, recall, control positions and releases. By teaching a simple trick you are also reinforcing everyday skills.
4. Relationship
Like all training activities you do with your dogs, tricks training builds teamwork and trust between you and your dog. You need to work together to perform tricks. You dog needs to listen and watch you to be able to respond.
5. Enrichment
We all know that a dog that has exercised their brain is a contented dog. They are more likely to settle and not demonstrate undesirable behaviours like digging, chewing, barking and escaping. You may not be able to exercise your dog every day, but building your dog’s repertoire of tricks gives them a job to do and helps them to settle. Even 10 minutes tricks training daily will benefit your dog.

Is your dog walking you or are you walking with your dog?
Does he pay attention to you?
Are you repeating his name multiple times and being ignored?
Does he stop walking when you stop or he is walking himself away?
.
Walking time is always training time and I'm enjoying it more and more.
So proud of him 🤍

His "watch" is everything 👀👏
Better and better and better 🙌

Results don't come after 100 repetions, they come after millions of repetions.
Doing the same thing over and over again, combining different methods.
Some days are better than others.
Learning is a process, it takes time and lots of patience.

I make him work for his food 🍗
🖐️This is why I started to hand-feed him again:
🐶 When I first found him he was jumping into the bowl to get his food, so I thought him how to properly wait before eating.
I was also hand feeding him because he was eating too fast and for a while he was able to eat slowly.
He recently started to swallow his food without even chewing it again and we are now back to square one.
I also like to use this time for training and to make him work to get his food.
🧠 This teaches him to be patient and to have self control, it's great brain training and it makes him tired.
🥇He knows that only calm behavior will be reward.
I make him watch and touch before rewarding him.

I love to work on obedience ( when he is in the mood 😈).
I'm trying to teach him stand from down and to work on his position because it's a little sloppy. Sometimes he is super fast and sometimes he is sooo slow ⏳ But I'm very proud of him and what he has learned so far. 😎
