Ginger of leash recalling like a BOSS!! #boardandtrain
Progress not perfection. Zero had a big breakthrough with his stay. Zero really has the idea about the stay cue! Added bonus he did the stay with another person preset. You can see their feet in the video. For a shy dog this is a huge deal! Shy dogs come out of an open of state of operant thinking when they move into fear. When fear takes over they have a hard time preforming a trained behavior. Operant thinking is where learning and performance takes place. This tells me that zeros confidence is growing. Growing his confidence will serve him well for a lifetime. So proud of this little guys progress.
Learning to love the car. A great way to introduce a dog to car rides is by feeding them in the car. I donāt recommend feeding them in the car right before a car ride as this could upset their stomach. But feeding them in the car daily for a week or two goes a long way in helping them associate the car being positive
āHereā is the cue I use to ask the dog to come when called. Sadie heās been working toward an off leash recall. And more advanced a chasing recall. This is when the dog is advancing toward people, dogs, bolting out of the gate, and the dog can be called back. Sadie is well on her way with her recall! #miniaussies #boardandtrain #dogtraining #dogtrainer
This beautiful boy is such a pleasure to care for š
ā Lacy Hereā
Pack hike coming when called.
Lacy on her first pack romp. As sheās been leaning to come when called she is also learning to check in. When a dog checks in they look to you. When they look to you, theyāre including you in what theyāre doing. Theyāre also asking ādo you need anything from me?ā Because weāve been working on a lot of recall in this sheās asking if I want her to come back. Living and working with dogs is a partnership. Lacy is learning how to be a good partner.
Lacy is learning about car loading. I first taught her to load onto the floorboard of the front seat. The worked with hue to jump onto a surface about as high as the hatch back floor. Then taught her to load into the hatchback. Next Iāll teach her to load into the hatchback and go into a crate. in the meantime sheās learning the ākennelā cue separately. Sheāll need that to complete the car loading training.
We were evacuated due to the Airport Fire. Here are places your animals can go if you are displaced.
Praise report from Gingers family.āGood evening. I wanted to give you a praise report on how good Ginger did today. We went on our walk, practiced the door thing, kept a steady walk until the potty grass, practiced sitting and waiting at street crossings, passed the scary barking dog house, gave lots of treats for that, then practiced the door thing walking back in the house. She did really good. Better than me, but Iām learning. A little bit later, we went to the mall. She walked around really good and didnāt pull, dart or get distracted. She would sit when I asked her to, so we could shop. I kept my treat bag on throughout the day. So we were vibing. People were surprised she was only 8 months old. I was very proud. It was a great day. And this day wouldnāt have happened without your help. So thank you so much!ā
Little Ginger can be a bit overwhelmed by new environments. Iām so proud of her for being brave and forward at Fiesta Island this morning. Back at the house she is diligently working on no darting out of doors and gates. Good girl Ginger.
