Rosie
Rosie the Circus Dog 🤡 is gaining confidence in jumping from one table to the next. She’s working while having fun and building trust and confidence. Phil Ellis This is Brody’s mama! ❤️
Taylor is doing great and shows off the “Place”, “Come” and “Down” commands. I do primarily private one on one training (not posted to Facebook), but my last few Board and Trains have been with little dogs. A little dog may be in my future down the road.
Taylor, Ace and Tia “Heeling” in the hood.
Taylor
Taylor rocks the Jumps at ExFed Dog Training.
Jingle rocks the “place” command with distractions. Tia and Ace on the other hand commit a rare mistake and leave “place” to get the ball 🎾 . No dog is perfect, not even my dogs.
Jingle’s first session on “place” with real distractions. He will be killing it before he goes home.
Rip
Rip is a VERY excitable guy who has issues with impulse control. Although he’s not here for training, all dogs follow the rules and adhere to a permission-based, controlled environment. Rip is a sweet dog, but with explosive energy. 💥
Copper is doing a good job “heeling” with Tia and Ace. “Heel” is a position at the outseam of your left leg. Picture a 10 inch business envelope taped to your leg and you want to strive to have your dog’s eyes in the imaginary envelope. If you go fast, the dog does fast; if you go slow the dog goes slow; if you turn the dog turns; and if you stop the dog should do an automatic “Sit”.
Copper the Rhodesian Ridgeback was introduced to the eCollar today. I use the eCollar as a communication device to gently tap Copper (today, level 4 out of 100) with the ”Come” command. Copper started to veer off and he was again reminded with the tap of the eCollar. This can be an excellent tool for clients who want their dogs off-leash reliable since this acts as an invisible leash. It is not a magic button and the dog must know the command reliably while on leash and then a long line BEFORE you try off-leash and you must enforce all commands 100% of the time for the rest of their lives. You cannot give a command that you are not in a position to enforce. This is a starting point and Copper will get better and better each day.
Atlas “Heels” nicely with Tia.
Moose
Asking Moose to “come” (Recall) while engaged in play with Dougal. Mr. Moose 🫎 is doing well and has worked hard.
