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].
