A very nice loose leash walk and sit!!๐คฉ๐๐คฉ๐
I donโt expect a young dog to โheelโ very much but I want them to know how to do it. So after a good off leash run I can work on this behavior. It shows the dog I am fair in what I ask for from them.
Notice the automatic sit๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐พ๐๐พ
Check this out!
Henry was amazing with this very unique distraction ๐๐พ๐
Henry said โ I want to play!!โ
Ramsay has a big play style which includes expecting the other dog to like being chased by him! Ramsay is fast and can turn very quickly which Henry was not prepared for so I must be able to stop him and take the pressure off Henry.
Itโs not OK to let your dog scare or intimidate another dog so make sure you understand how your dog plays, always supervise and control interactions between dogs.
Oh and get out of the way๐๐๐
Henry is now understanding the vibration means โhereโ๐ค We still have a lot of proofing to do but today was great๐พ๐๐พ
Long line dropped for the first time and Henry did great๐ค๐พ๐ค
It doesnโt get any cuter than this๐๐พ๐๐พ
I just started layering in the vibration on the recall with Henry. If you are watching this and wondering why he has so many collars on let me explain: the light blue collar is his collar with tags, the dark brown collar is a flat martingale collar that he can not slip out of. He then has an emergency line attached to the brown martingale, the training collar and the leash. This is in case the training collar fails so I have a back up second line on him. Keep in mind he is not my dog so safety is always a concern. The royal blue collar is the E collar for his off leash training. As his training progresses some equipment may be removed and of course he is never left alone with any collar on.
He is doing very well and I love his happy, quick turn back when he hears โhereโ๐๐พ๐
Good boy Henry!

Racing recalls with Henry๐ค๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ We play this game every evening building distance and speed! The goal is for him to not have any suspicious association with being called.
Good boy๐

A great video of Henry doing a natural behavior he was bred for!! He tracked my footsteps back on the trail and made the right turn without my help.
Good boy Henry๐พ๐๐พ

Itโs along video but good information about how I feel that first you must give the dog what he needs, before he can give you what you want.
Good boy Henry๐๐พ๐
Happy dogs! Baxter and his new friends Skye and Belle๐๐
Walk
Now that we are all back from visiting the surface of the sun last week, I hope you are getting out there and enjoying this fabulous weather.
My plan? 3 dog walks๐ค๐ค๐ค My favorite thing to do - itโs free and you and your dog feel great afterwards ๐คฉ๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Enjoy everyone ๐ค

Facing the challenge of a new puppy? One trick that I use that seems to work is only having half your toy inventory available at any one time. Then each week I pick up all the toys and they get washed. Then I give out what the dogs and puppy think are โnewโ toys. Nope - just the clean ones from the week before ๐ค
So they only see each toy every other week which seems to keep it new and exciting ๐พ๐ฅฐ๐พ
