Petting Your Dog for Praise

When petting your dog for a job well done, pet him under, not over.  A tickle under the chin, or a calming touch on the chest will build your dog's confidence.

Class 2/19

LOOK for treat
COME to the hand
DROP/LEAVE- for treat when playing the keep away game
DONE
Owners, your posture and eye contact. Say commands 1X let your dog do the work.
Switch things around to keep it interesting.
End interaction while everyone is still cooperating.
Slow it down

Riggins is eager to show off his SIT

Riggins does not agree, he thinks he should get a treat for everything he does, but in my opinion, this is;    When To Treat

• Kennel - Up   [as a lure]
• Trade - Up    [for stolen or "acquired" items]
•  Out From Under  [the couch, the bed, or coffee table]

So proud of "Team Honey"

 Watching Honey walking in a perfect "With -Me", with her owner, on Cedar Springs while people, cars and buses passed us by, gave me goose bumps.

  You have come a long way my dear!

WAIT

Owner looks forward, gives the dog the whole 6 feet of leash. Everyone stops on the WAIt command. You stop, he stops.
Quick pop correct, then release.
Words first.
Watch where you are going.
