10/1/11 - Obedience Class

Use your "WAIT" command, at doors, curbs, while walking, or letting someone pass.
Make it a short time, so you can get that "OK" word in before your dog breaks the
command.
A stomp off the foot is a good reminder and audio cue.
Speaking of reminders;
When giving a command, stand up straight, hold your ground and wait for your
dog to make a good decision. Say your command 1x, unless of course your dog
is deaf in which case don't say anything.
While crate training, a Kong, or Deer Antler gives your dog something too
look forward to.
Temple Grandin will be at McFarlin this coming Thursday to talk about her
book "Animals Make Us Human.
