Homework for our group class snow day! & some free tips I suppose for anyone else! Haha
Below I’ve included a bonus class with the focus being you & your dog leaning the natural language of pressure/ release & applying Good/Nope to your cue/command formula. Incorporate calmness & eye-contact into daily life as consistently a you can for things your dogs wants like doors, food, treats, toys, & pets if they’re being rude for them in yoir eyes. We want to cultivate calmness over jumpiness & pushiness. Over time your dog will do these things automatically if you keep up. A dog that auto waits when a door opens is a beautiful thing! Plus, It’s good for all of use to take a breather before we rush out the door anyway & move through life calmly 😊
I don’t have a puppy here to video but this is Jake who we got in this week from a local shelter on the euthanasia list. He’s 5 years old, lived outsides his whole life, & quite puppy like in the sense that he knows nothing quite yet & is VERY jumpy & pushy.
As always, I’m here for questions!
