Buddy is learning how to possess and hold. We aren’t calm yet, but we will get there. He will also learn how “out” on command. This is just the beginning in retrieval work.

Aubrey met Buddy today. We got to show her some dopamine box and she was able to run the clicker. We explain to the family the meaning of the markers that help shape the dog. We then demonstrate with Dipstick to show the finished product. It’s amazing to see into the mind of the young client. We discussed what tasks the dog may do to help with her disabilities, how we build it, and what to expect in the coming months. The path is laid, let’s pave it!

Recall on Buddy at 9 weeks old. If you make a habit early for the pup to not jump on you, they won’t.

Why we do it.
Why we do it.

This happens to be a video of what we do. Why we do it. And how we got to this point. It’s not all in here. But that will come.

Building positive associations with the Kennel.
Building positive associations with the Kennel.

When building association to the places you want the dog to find pleasant, we use their food to help. We place the food in the kennel and the dog will frequent it and eat. Building an association that we can add duration to over the next few days. He is kenneled completely away from us in the house. Our timers are set to 4 hour marks for potty and that is the only time we will come to him at night. This is by far one of the hardest things for new owners to overcome for the dog learns how to be self dependent and self soothing.

How to desensitize your pup to loud noises.
How to desensitize your pup to loud noises.

Something dog owners tend to forget is that shielding your dog from the “scary” things can inadvertently create more scary things in future. Every dog will be different at this stage. It’s important to note that if your pup can’t handle it up close, you start off at a distance and work your way into the scary thing. We also incorporate some of the luring to help overcome mental obstacles.

Luring session.
Luring session.

Follow the lure. We are using Buddy’s kibble and some venison to help shape his command obedience. I am only naming commands to show what we are doing in the video. I won’t pair commands to the dog until the dog’s positioning is consistent to what we expect. His drive allows us to do multiple sequences without a reward between positions.

Harness on a puppy?!
Harness on a puppy?!

We often say, don’t use a harness on your puppy. So why do we have one on Buddy? We will never use the harness as a control device as the puppy grows. It’s merely to get him acclimated to wearing one. Health studies have shown that harness on puppy’s stunts their growth and causes defects in their growing joints. It will also void the breeder contracts in most cases on their health guarantees for their puppies.
