Stella and Nicola lead walking change of speed
Good afternoon everyone β
Last night we had our last session in the 4 week plan with Stella the harrier hound and owner Nicola at the Gartlove Country Boarding Kennels free run facility. π π
We concentrated on lead walking as this is Stellas last hurdle to get over. Stella was walking to "heel" with change of speed excercise added in, fast and slow and lastly some "stay" and "sits" π π
1,2,3,4.. Request, change of speed from the owner, change of speed from the dog, praise praise praise. π΄π’
Its very important to always have a loose lead or looser lead as the progress picks up, not to let the dog deviate and to keep the focus of the dog in training, a lot of talking to reaffirm positions and lots of praise. πΌ
Stella was in season last night so was more distracted than usual when let off lead to "go play" so she really done great! She let out lots of bored huffs when in training π€π©ππ©
Nicola will use the training in different places on walks with Stella and we will see them once again before the holidays π
for a top up session and check in again in the new year.
Great effort Nicola your guidance and commands with Stella have improved immensely π π π©

Frankie and Blair walking on lead π π π
Evening Everyone! π π
Here we have Frankie walking great on his last lesson with a few sits mixed in.
I have to call out thats hes on the wrong side.
Sarah and Blair remeber the left side! π
Once we work on walking on lead we pick a side and stick to that side so we see Frankie drifting a little but its all good he is listening.
Afterwords we went to the park and played off lead with 2 of my dogs π Frankie performed well on recall training and even got involved with the playing and grabbed a toy! π
Well done guys it was great working with you! π π
