My dog Sieger doing some nice silent recalls using the remote collar. Even though he has a very good recall I always put it on him when we are off leash. It is like a seatbelt, you always wear it because you never know.
Recall is one of the most important things to teach our dogs. It keeps them safe and is a must for them to learn. The earlier the better. 👍
Sieger will respond to verbal command, whistle and remote collar. Its good to have a few ways to get them to come back to you.
Working with Winston and Fern keeping their training fresh with recalls. Verbal here, whistle and remote collar only, no sound, silent recall. Great job, boyz!
Grace n Sieger doing a nice downstay. Taking baby steps teaching a downstay or any training is important. We start in kindergarten and work our way up to college. No distractions to start, also start in easiest place for them to learn, your home then slowly work your way out.
Love 15 ft longlines as you all know. I use both a 3/8in especially if I have them dragging it and I also use a 5/8 in. Biothane is what I prefer, easy to clean and sanitize. I order mine through dogsportgear but there are many places to purchase them.

When going out for a walk, leaving your house or getting in your car make sure your dog is calm. Here I have Sieger in a downstay while I get my van ready for him. I open his kennel, pull out the ramp then I give his release word "break" and tell him to kennel up. If your dog is not fluent with a downstay yet, just wait till they are calm before you proceed to go out or in any threshold.
When you go out with your dog make it a calm experience so all that excitement doesn't carry through to your walk or ride. If you practice consistently you will see the benefits. 👍
Working with Hazel at the Charlestown Animal Shelter. Coco who is also up for adoption is helping us. Hazel has some reactivity towards dogs.
I have been taking her out for quiet walks with other dogs at the shelter and helping her to be more comfortable when she is around them. Hazel did so well on this session. Both she and Coco can be visited at the shelter if you are looking for a new best friend. ♥️🙏🐕
Team Gus doing some nice heeling in the Depot. I like to use the carpet and blind section for all the obstacles to walk around. I helps to teach the dog to stay close and pay attention as you reward them for just that. 👍. Nice work team Gus!
What else would we do on a cold rainy Saturday! Morning at the depot training with team Gus n Bob. Keeping a U in the leash or a smile. Reward for position, in this case behind Bobs left leg. Gus has a tendency on turns to forge ahead, so we are rewarding right after the turn behind Bobs left leg. We also.reward there for a nice heel position. 👍😉🐕
Some off leash heeling with my dog Sieger. He has been taught with a leash and also using an e collar.
I never reward him in front of me, always behind the back of my left leg. Reward for position. If you reward in front of you, the dog will be trained to always cut in front of you looking for the reward and you may trip over your dog.
Notice when I jog and he catches up he holds himself back, behind me and doesn't run ahead. Thats my boy! Good job Sieger!♥️
Carolyn and Kingston working on creating less tension in the leash and creating engagement with Kingston. He can have 6 feet of leash anywhere around her but he cannot put tension on it, no pulling.
Large dogs walk at about 3 to 4 miles per hour so the dogs have to think and slow down and walk at our pace which is not easy for the dog which is why there usually is tension on the leash. They have to concentrate and control their natural impulse to walk at their usual speed to adjust to ours. We humans walk a little slower than our canine friends. 😁🐕.
Just another good reason to teach your dog a down stay. I have Sieger n Gracie out today on a hike, both pooped at the same time. I would have a problem getting long lines tangled or worse dragged through 💩💩 so I put them in a down and easily cleaned up and disposed. Folks, when out with your doggos please pick up after them and dispose properly. I pick up so many other dogs 💩💩 as well. We are going to have less and less places to take our dogs because irresponsible dog owners leave their 💩💩💩💩 everywhere. So many places don't allow dogs anymore for this reason. Its very easy to carry bags 😉 and be a responsible dog owner👍
