Chester is doing really well with his training. He’s understanding all of his cues now including his recall cue(come). Chester is a very relaxed, laid back boy but in his garden he’s now really switched on, doing his training and games at a high tempo with real enjoyment and loving his high value treats as a reward.
Out and about however he’s responding to his cues at a slower pace and isn’t initially interested in treats as a reward, even high value treats.
Chester like many dogs finds the real world ultra exciting and self rewarding through sniffs and interactions with people and dogs( when appropriate).
So for Chester every time we asked him to do something such as wait, change direction or recall to us we gave him lots of praise and a fuss,instead of a treat, for his reward.
Gradually as the walk continued he started to respond more quickly and also taking a treat for his reward.
Well done Chester👏🐾
🐾All afternoon and early evening training sessions will continue to be rearranged/postponed until this latest hot weather cools down 🐾
