Here we have Max working on some loose leash walking in a public setting and we are using what he already knows about loose leash walking to help now pair it with the communication of the prong collar. If you are only introducing the prong for corrections you are doing the dog not justice, the prong is used to help us assist clear communication with our dog. Remember the prong first and foremost is communication tool, the corrections are a secondary use of the tool.When we introduce it in a more positive way we teach the dog to work with the tool and not against it.Do you know how to properly introduce the prong collar into you and your dog’s relationship? If this is something you’re struggling with or if it’s a tool you’re interested in learning more about contact us today and let’s work together!
We have to not only control the dogs behavior while working on obedience, we need to also control the manner in which the reward is received, if Hadley feels the only way to get the treat from my hand is to smash my hand and grab it, then that is how he will expect to receive the reward every time. What good is impulse control if it goes out the window when the reward is presented? We have to remember we are not just rewarding the behavior he’s doing, but his whole mindset and calmness in every aspect of the session, including getting the reward.
Here we are doing a food hunt with Oscar, one of our police k9 prospects. We increased the difficulty by hiding the reward in an elevated hiding spot, with only one entry point. When I start to increase the difficulty of a hunt, the goal is not only success of finding the food, but I want to see the dog work through its frustration of not being able to find it, over giving up and ditching the game all together.I am super pleased with how he performed, the whole hunt took around 5 minutes, and the food was hidden in an object he’s never interacted with before, a shopping cart, he stayed on tasked, problem solved efficiently and overall had a great lunch break! If you enjoyed watching Oscar hunt for his food, and think this is something you and your dog would enjoy, contact us and we can help you get that nose to work!
