Week 3 Videos

 In week 3, we have taken everything that you are working on and brought it outside to increase distractions.  So all the same homework, but now pick a low-key outdoor area to practice in, weather permitting.

Other than increasing these distractions, your homework remains in the same format as Week 2.

Practicing "let's go" outside:



This video is inside, but we are also practicing outside (raining this day):


Downs are still inside, but now we are practicing them from standing:


Circle sit stays you should still practice inside, but still sit stays you can practice outside; just decrease the time to start as low as 5 seconds if you have to.

Week 4 (Week 1 Board and Train) Notes and Videos

 Some observations on Ollie:    FIRST:  He was a little timid when he got here (still the same friendly puppy), as far as strange people (us), which is represented by these examples: Darting away Barking Nervous about some sounds (not really irregular sounds) by startling easily So this work has been improving that as well, which will make him easier to handle in public around people.  I am not sure he will be all the way there (Week 3 will tell us more), but he should be much improved.   SECOND:  He can get a bit demanding for other dogs to play with him and get a little too rough.  So the impulse control exercises and handling him during socialization have improved that with the older dogs that come here.  We did not have any puppies this time around.  This will also improve his interactions with you as far as jumping and getting excited.  We have been working a lot with impulse control.  He is still friendly and wonderf...

NOTE 1:  YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS FOR THE FIRST 6 EXERCISES IN TOTAL SHOULD BE 5-10 MINUTES IN TOTAL.   A TRAINING SESSION COULD EVEN BE LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.   YOU WANT TO GET TWO OR THREE TRAINING SESSIONS IN A DAY.  NOTE 2:  IF YOU DON'T GET TO AN EXERCISE ON A DAY, JUST BE SURE TO DO THAT EXERCISE THE NEXT DAY. NOTE 3:  ALL EXERCISES SHOULD BE DONE ON LEASH AND IN VERY LOW DISTRACTION AREAS IN THE FIRST WEEK. NOTE 4:  YOU CAN WORK THESE EXERCISES ALONE EACH, OR YOU CAN ROTATE THROUGH THESE EXERCISES (EXCEPT THE PLACE EXERCISES SINCE THEY ARE NOT LURED AT THIS POINT).  I SOMETIMES ROTATE THROUGH THE EXERCISES SO THAT THE PUPPY DOES NOT GET BORED. NOTE 5:  IF YOU ARE DOING THE EXERCISES INDIVIDUALLY, WE ARE WORKING SO THAT YOU START TO GET 4 IN A ROW WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT. NOTE 6:  IF YOU GET 3 SETS OF 4 IN A ROW OF ANY EXERCISES, THEN YOU CAN END THE SESSION FOR THAT EXERCISE THEN. EXERCISE 1  Their Name Meaning Attention to...

Week 1 Sit On The Dog

Image
Exercise: Sit on The Dog (do not confuse with the down exercise later on) Equipment needed: Metal Training Collar (for puppies a flat collar will due but be sure they can't slip their head out if it's too loose), 6' leather lead (for puppies inexpensive lead or clothes line lead), chair for handler to sit on that they aren't too worried about (IE an antique chair would not be a good idea, especially for a dog that might try to chew something other than their toy while you aren't watching, but a good metal folding chair will do), silence which means no verbal commands, praise, or corrections. Also, no conversations of any sort with your dog. Objective and Goals: This exercise starts the leadership portion of dog (or puppy) training in a very non-confrontational way. You are defining the space and activity that the dog will inhabit while you are engaged in other activities. It starts the process of showing the dog how to quiet themselves down during certain t...
