Creed, the black Lab puppy is staying on his “place” while I work with the Doberman puppy, Billy. We were working on Conformation to get her ready for this upcoming AKC show in Central Point, Oregon.
Good job Creed! You are gaining patience especially since food was involved…
A fun little video that we caught on a whim of engage disengage. One of the games you can play with your dog when you’re out and about on a walk we are at Lake Sacajawea in Longview, Washington.
Harley, is our new board and train Doberman puppy that we have here at our facility. When she fist got here a few days ago, we had a hard time leashing her (video made day 1). Mide you, her recall is “decent” meaning that she always came to me when I called her name…BUT when I reached out to put a leash on her she tucked her tail and she ran away! It was very difficult to catch her.
If you call your dog to you, you should expect to be able to leash your dog! Right!? Exactly!!! This is one of our end goals with Harley!!
We don’t want Harley to be afraid of the leash, so we work with her slowly and constantly, we want her to think of a leash as a positive experience rather then a negative experience.
I’m a little over exuberant on my voice with Harley, because #1 she really likes it when I talk to her that way, AND #2 I got a faster result from her body language to come out of her “stressful” situation and come towards the leash my hand.
Keep training Positive ALWAYS!!!
STAR Puppy class is canceled tomorrow Tuesday December 28th due to weather. We will resume January 4th. Have a wonderful and safe Happy New Year!
