🐾✨ Emma’s Training Session Recap ✨🐾
We had a fantastic training session focusing on advanced hand signals and leash work. Emma practiced all commands using hand signals, which mimics baiting and luring without the need for treats in our moving hand—great for building focus and communication.
We also incorporated leash corrections into broken stays, gently applying leash pressure to guide Emma back into position and then using the leash to redirect and reset her. This helps reinforce stability and responsiveness in her stays.
Our door drill was a highlight! Emma was placed into a stay—such as sit, down, or place—while her owner stayed outside. The trainer knocked and rang the doorbell, waiting for Emma to hold her stay until the guest was settled inside. Emma performed exceptionally, demonstrating her strong stay skills under distraction.
Afterward, we moved outside to work on leash drills. We practiced the leash circle drill and our start-stop-sit exercise, where we walk a few paces, stop, and apply gentle upward pressure on the leash until Emma sits. Once she sits, the pressure is released, and she’s praised and rewarded, reinforcing good behavior during walks.
Such progress shows Emma’s dedication and focus. Keep up the great work! 💪🐶
