15 week old Nine, a Great Pyrenees mix working on loose leash manners! What a great job!
Yesterday you saw the work through for Tamoka when she was confused about what was being asked when we cued for her to "down". Here is the CLICK where she understands what we are asking, all within the same lesson as yesterday's video!
This is why it is important to be patient and calm; Tamoka wasn't "being stubborn" she was not 100% sure what I was asking her to do, but once she did it all CLICKED together!
While Tamoka already has a great foundation with the "down" command, we need to remember that dogs learn by association. She had never done with command with me or in this environment, so this was is the first half of her trianing video to explain why patience and timing are important when training.
We aren't correcting her for not completing a "known" behavior because she doesn't know it well enough yet. She has a ways to go before she fully understands the command, so we try different methods, and reset when mistakes are made. When she is successful we capture it and Jackpot reward it to say "yes! That's exactly what we want! Great job!"
Tomorrow, see the other half the this video where we see the CLICK and she begins to understand what is being asked!
Remember, mistakes happen during training and THATS OKAY! Direct back to the desired behavior and build back up, you got this!
Mistakes are just opportunities to learn.
We often use "place" as a great way to help build confidence, as seen here with Skipper. Skipper is a 5 month old rescued Poodle puppy who is very nervous and undersocialized.
We made a LOT of progress in his confidence during our first lesson, learning "place" and "break". He went from fighting leash pressure, being too nervous to accept treats and being easily startled by the interaction to being able to get onto the pet cot without any leash pressure, with no hesitation and starting to accept treats.
He still has a long way to go, but is making progress every lesson! Stay tuned to see how far he goes!
Sisi recieving a JACKPOT reward (lots of treats back to back) for staying on place after a difficult moment. This was the first time turning my back and walking away from her to do something and she NAILED IT!!
Welcome back to our Learning Place Serie with Gambit. Today we will lay the beginning steps to an implied stay and the start to building strong duration (how long the dog can hold the command) foundation!
