Bear and Bleu go with me for weekly field trips to keep their training skills and public manners sharp. They are both therapy dogs and bring a lot of joy to our community- and me too!

BEGINNER CLASS:
I’ll post 2 videos in the comments since Facebook is being stupid and won’t let me post them here.
RECALL: use a new formal command that you haven’t broken by not following thru.
Say “Milo HERE!” Back up and reel him in. Treat at nose height.

STAY: clear Stay command with hand in front of face. Hold leash up short like a grooming table.
Pivot to 1/4 moon. 3 seconds- gradually increasing time.
Return to Heel position.
Pause.
Praise quietly.
Release command “FREE!”
Advance to 1/2 moon, 3/4 moon, full moon.

Practice About turns (away) for correction when they’re tuning you out.
U Turns (toward the dog) to teach spacial respect.

Practice being neutral as you’re walking. OR give a correction- don’t accept a little bit of pressure all the time.

No jumping- stand on leash. Insist that calm people wait until your dog is sitting.
Encourage them to scratch the chest.
Drop treat on the floor.
80/20. Don’t let 100% of people pet. Get your dog used to waiting to see if they’re going to pet or not- instead of just assuming they are.

Work hard this week and I’ll see you all next week!
