12/4 - Well Mannered Dog - lesson 2

Today we practiced our SIT and LOOK commands that we worked on last week. Remember if you have a dog that is jumping up, don't wait for the jump up, ask for a SIT before we get to that point.

Practice your STAY and COME as much as you can  each day. Remember we are setting out dogs up to win, so make it easy for them to follow instructions. If you can do a long STAY to COME, great, but if your dog can only go one foot, that is still a STAY and COME.

With each command remember to use your dog's name and hand signal.

When using STAY, use a clear tone [ everybody was, but I am reminding you], and you may repeat the STAY command as you walk away. When calling your dog to COME. use a happy tone and inviting demeanor.

Get in the habit of releasing your dog from every command, before he or she decides to move on to the next thing without  you.

That would be your OK command. Teach your dog to listen for it!

Well done everyone, see you on the 11th
