Small Dogs and Puppies Class - 3/31

Mollie the 5 month old Havanese at her first class

I was very impressed with how well everyone gave directions and corrections tonight. We were on top of it!
A large part of dog training is timing.
Teaching your dog to focus on your instructions rather than what she wants means you have to be ready to praise quickly for a job well done, as well as knowing how long to wait before a correction is needed.
Remember Use your dog's name, give the command one time,  use your hand signal. Remember, the person giving the command is the leader. All eyes are on the leader, when a command is given.
Practice; SIT, WAIT [with distractions], and OK
 [ to release].

Well Mannered Dog- 3/26/11

Words First!
When working on Loose Leash walking, remember to use your words first, before making a leash correction. This way you are teaching your dog to pay attention to you as well as learning to listen to your words

Puppy and Small Dog Obedience Class 3/24

I love seeing the pups gain confidence as we progress with our teamwork.
Get that 100% SIT for Greet, in the house before taking the practice on the road.

When walking, use your words first, before making a correction. We are teaching your pups to listen for directions so they know what you want them to do. 
Walking Commands we practiced;

1. Let's Go
2. Wait
3. With Me
4. Foward

Uma- daycare, lesson 3

Such a brave little girl. She was able to LOOK on command and LETs GO even though Katy Trail was very busy with people, dogs, bikers and skaters. As life often is, the more fear she showed, the more people noticed her. "Awww, she's such a sweet, scared puppy" was the general consensus.
  People noticing and staring at her is the last thing she wants, so to able to redirect her with LOOK is important and it tells her, " No worries,I got it". As I said, she is a brave little girl.

Puppy and Small Dog Obedience Class 3/17

                                  Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

  We want to get to 100% SIT, every time. Remember when giving the command say the command word once. We want your little sweeties to learn to listen to you the first time you say something. Nothing to think about. Use your finger correction if your pup is having trouble focusing on what you want.
  Practice your WAIT commands anytime you can think of a reason, or for no reason at all.
OK is your release word. Your pup will soon learn to wait to hear for your release word.
 Well done, that was a fun class.
