“Here” is the cue I use to ask the dog to come when called. Sadie he’s 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 💕
“ Lacy Here”
Pack hike coming when called.
Lacy on her first pack romp. As she’s 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, they’re including you in what they’re doing. They’re also asking “do you need anything from me?” Because we’ve been working on a lot of recall in this she’s 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 I’ll teach her to load into the hatchback and go into a crate. in the meantime she’s learning the “kennel” cue separately. She’ll 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.“Good 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 I’m learning. A little bit later, we went to the mall. She walked around really good and didn’t 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 wouldn’t have happened without your help. So thank you so much!”
Little Ginger can be a bit overwhelmed by new environments. I’m 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.
Early morning training with sweet Ginger at the park. We worked on loose leash walking with a cue of “ let’s go”. Stopping when I stop with a cue of “ wait”. And a “sit, stay”. I was super proud of her for staying committed with the passer by. Good gob Ginger!! #boardandtrain
