Levels Training: April 2010

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ME AND MY DOGS. Friday, April 30, 2010. Expect No Mercy training session. We just got home after a 45 minute training session in the Commissary. It wasn't intended as such. It was a grocery shopping trip. But as Sue and Stitch followed along behind us (Sue and Stitch riding an electric grocery cart) it turned into a "Take no Prisoners" training session on grocery cart position and footprint. I worked up a sweat. Sue is a stern taskmaster, when you ask her to be precise. Then, Sue to...

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ME AND MY DOGS. Monday, June 21, 2010. Dale and Lily began working together six months ago. Our criteria were two-fold:. Give Dale a solid foundation in Steps to prepare him for Landry's arrival. Give Lily experience in working for and with another trainer. Landry will arrive next week. Perfect timing!

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ME AND MY DOGS. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Kathleen writes that Zachary is about to begin training for the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) .again! Take heart, Kathleen! Lily took the CGC five times. Of those 5 attempts, she actually passed three and failed twice. As a CGC evaluator myself, I know that there are CGCs and then there are CGCs. And I didn't want Lily to pass just because all the planets happened to be aligned. Was she ever surprised! What is it about tests that make US uptigh...

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ME AND MY DOGS. Friday, May 28, 2010. Roxie's Pups - 3 days old. Monday, May 24, 2010. You need to listen carefully to hear these stories over the wind,. But they are wonderful stories! We had just watched some Navy gunships racing through the harbor. For much of our session today, we sat.rewarding Lily for remaining quiet, maintaining a lazy leash, watching the world pass. And pass it did. Seguays, bicyclists (sp? Trouble with Tuck and Side. Spur of the moment. Working at the shore.

Lily took on a new role today. That of "big sister". No longer the puppy of the family. Landry came for his first visit alone today and Lily truly acted like the big sister. Where Shayla doesn't want to have anything to do with the puppy, Lily is a willing playmate. It's nice to see. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Yesterday...

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ME AND MY DOGS. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Bethany makes a training movie. Bethany is visiting for a week. This afternoon she decided to find all of the places inside and outside the house where she could use the cue "Go Lie Down" to have Lily go under or in things. See her report below. Tonight she decided to make a movie of her teaching Lily to crawl through a tunnel of chairs, again using the "Go Lie Down" cue. No lumping here! Lily can Go Lie Down. Patio benches ( out side).

The questions you're asking - for instance, how to get the dog not to lie down at the register - indicate that you probably haven't read the basic Levels information that this list is based on. We think you'll have a much better idea of what to do and how to do it after you've gone through that information. To teach the dog to control himself. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
