Early morning training on Main Street. Nice and cool out. Here I am proofing their “stay” cue, returning to them and reinforcing the behavior in position before I release them with their “free” cue. Important NOT to reinforce the “free” cue with a treat because the reward for being released is the release itself to sniff freely.
Groot K. Schrute had his first night time walk and he practiced everything he does on his day time walks; like pushing the crosswalk button. #GrootKSchrute #WooDoggie #Puppy #PlayAndTrain #GSD #GermanShepherd #WooPack #JustWooIt #DogTrainer #TrickDog
Taco is getting older and has a hard time walking long distances but has always gone most places with me. It’s heartbreaking to take Groot and leave Taco behind. Today, I started training and desensitizing Taco to riding in a wagon and what his job entails. We worked on loading into wagon, how to settle and sit in the wagon, what stopping feels like, what riding feels like and how to exit the wagon. Taco and Groot both did great for our first session. #Taco #AustralianKelpie #DaddyDog #SeniorDog #DogLover #DogMom #ForceFree #FearFree #CooperativeCare #PositiveReinforcement #WooDoggie #JustWooIt #DogTrainer #DoItDaily

OFF LEASH RECALL trained by positive reinforcement. Groot K. Schrute will be 2 in less than a week and Zeke will be 2 this May. This is stellar if I do say so myself!! Zeke has been with us since the beginning and I am BLOWN away by our progress together with his family putting in even more time and effort at home. I know when my clients are doing their homework!!! 😉😉
