Meet Duffy the *5* year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever here for 4 weeks of training! This guy is his owners 4th Chessie and is on his 3rd home himself; he’s lucky to have landed himself such a committed and knowledgeable to the breed new owner ☺️. While he is sure handsome, he has some less pretty habits. He is extremely mouthy when being handled, leashed/collared up and though it doesn’t seem “mean” per se, it’s definitely unnerving with how big of a boy he is. He also has the typical big retriever “bull in a china shop” mentality and pulls on the leash and can be a lot when interacting with people especially if they’re new to him. Stay tuned for a brand new set of skills and manners that will help him live a fulfilled life as big as he is!

Flaco went on his first field trip to put his new skills to the test around real life distractions. He’s a guy that REALLY struggles tuning into his handler and would rather have his head on a swivel. We practiced walking around in heel and having him stay passive to the things in the environment and simply follow me instead. We’re teaching him a brand new way: how to relax and be a follower instead of needing to constantly interact or react to the things around him. Good work bud!

How to use Sage’s training featuring a big scary truck (her biggest trigger)! Though she was still unsure, she did a fantastic job staying calm and deferring to me for guidance! 👏 I demo her heel (leash walking command), down stay and recall. SO proud of her for not heading for the hills which she 100% would have done in this situation 3 weeks ago!

Flaco’s progress has been a slow burn 🔥 but he’s finally starting to come together now! We practiced our place command (go to your bed, settle, stay) heel (our walking command) recall and down stay all outside off leash (longline dragging for safety).

Putting our recall, place command and down stay to practical use with Flaco! “Place” means go to your bed, lay down, relax and stay! This is a great way to teach dogs how to be passive to things in the environment vs needing to be directly involved in everything going on around them.

During these “proofing” sessions, we set up distractions in hopes of the dog making some mistakes so we can practice fixing them! Learning happens when we share clear feedback for choices. Breaking command or ignoring a command results in a correction and listening results in praise/no correction! The more we normalize listening the easier it comes to our dog.

Flaco is learning he can’t break command to go do whatever he wants and instead he needs to pay attention and follow my direction. It’s important to set the expectation for what being in command means before it’s a real life distraction for both you and the dog!
