Place is one of a few commands we tell our clients that every dog should know, here our Lead Trainer goes over how to start teaching this fundamental skill. Examples of why you would use this are: someone at the door, guests coming over, repair man or contractor needing to work on something in the house, trying to clean or do something the list goes on, in each case using this command will make each instance a lot less difficult.
How to teach Stay. With our Lead Trainer.
Meet Mason, young Shepherd mix(GSD, Bully and Husky), He’s has energy and would be a great fit for someone that likes to hike to jog, he needs work on leash, we had him on the slip at first but he was just to much. Here we have him on a Herm Sprenger prong collar and he did much better. As you can see with just a little work he’s already showing how great he can be. If you’d like more information about him please contact Dog Breath Express or Otero County Shelter.
Meet Heidi, she’s a small Pyrenees mix, that is great on leash and surprisingly eager to please(which is a rarity for Pyrenees and Pyrenees mixes) she follows well and when she does get excited she jumps around but doesn’t pull hard at all and respects the leash. Don’t miss out on a dog like this, if you’d like to learn more on Heidi or even meet her please contact Otero County Shelter. ☺️
Meet Oso, a 10 month old XL Bully, he may be young and a big boy but he’s surprisingly has a good head on his shoulders. Even tho he has lived running loose in the desert he is very friendly and eager to please which is a characteristic of the bully breed. Here we have Melanie Keithley Payne going through some basics, he walks well on the leash tho he can get excited which is expected from him being a puppy still with little handling. He does get excited when he sees another dog, it’s not an aggressive excitement but one of wanting to interact, which with more consistency and training he can over come this. If you or anyone you know who would love to give Oso a chance plz contact Otero county shelter to get more information. We will also be giving out discounted training to the adopters if they want to continue training.
The difference a bit of guidance can do, here we have one of our new students with her dog Charlie who would bark at anything and pull like no tomorrow, this is his first session with us
Here’s a little video from our last session for our out and about class. The goal in this exercise was to have the dog wait while the owner went through the threshold then they would call the dog. Can you spot the error that one of the handlers accidentally made?
