We discuss training Beau to walk nicely on a leash without pulling or reacting. The goal is for the owner to be able to take the dog on long, comfortable walks without the dog getting tangled in the leash or running off.
I'm out with one-year-old mini golden doodle, Chopper, for our morning walk all off leash. We're working on heel training, where he walks nicely by my side. This is the first time I'm handling him, as Josh has done the previous training. I'm impressed that Chopper listens to me and follows the same commands. We also practice stationary commands like sit and stay, which were challenging for him initially. His recall is great - I can call him from a distance using a tone on his e-collar. Overall, Chopper's walk is much more controlled and effortless compared to before.
Oliver the Frenchie is working on his impulse control, stay, and respect of boundaries by way of the place command!
Starting tandem work with Housemate English Springer Spaniels!
We talk about a dog named Chopper who would not come inside when called by his owner. The trainer demonstrates a method where they use a tone to signal the dog to come inside, without relying on treats or games to bribe the dog. The dog responds well to the tone and runs right inside when he hears it.
Little dogs can do everything the big dogs can. Here we are working on âdownâ and stay until released with Sneakers the Cavapoo!
Oliver the Frenchie working on 3 things here: learning the tone recall, learning to stay, and an alternative to jumping!
We talk about working on Sneaker's stay command and recall, which can be very difficult for dogs to learn. We discuss how dogs struggle with the impulse to move and have to fight that instinct. We also talk about adding distractions to proof the commands and prepare the dog for real-world situations. The goal is to build a solid foundation of stay, recall, and good walking behavior to have a successful life with the dog.
We did the follow where he learns to follow Josh in a straight line as a precursor to learning the heel command. Sneakers has many options but is choosing to listen and please, which is what itâs all about!
