Hike & Train Adventures... Rainy Day Recall & Check In. Working commands in all kinds of weather. Cooper did great with his recall. He did even better with his check in. This is when he makes the decision to check in with me versus me calling him. You want your dog to be able to do both. Ella knows her commands and showed the others. Shelley is also working on her recall.

Hike & Train Adventures... Recall during play. Also recall from going into the water. Not all days are water days.

Hike & Train Adventures... We know adventures and we know how to train.

Hike & Train Adventures... We always work as a team. Cooper is working on his feet placement and awareness. Puppies are all over with learning what to do with their legs and feet. We are teaching Cooper to be aware of his limbs, especially his back feet. This will then continue to progress for agility and obedience training. He has no problem jumping up onto higher things because right now he is using mostly upper body strength to do it. By training on a lower level he has to be able to pick up his back feet and be aware of his hind end quarters.
Since the other dogs are adults they are aware of their body movements. However, they patiently wait while Cooper practices. Then we all continue on our hike.

Hike & Train Adventures... Off leash is earned! Your dog needs to be able to follow through on their commands always. Especially during high stimulation such as play. Teaching your dog to go from stimulation to calmness is working on their impulse control in any environment.
Yes, they are having a blast, but there is a lot of training and obedience behind this off leash fun and the adventures we have.

Hike & Train Adventures... It was full speed ahead today! Did you notice Ella's beautiful check in from playing? Boone and Teddy also did a nice come command. We always train commands, especially through play.

Hike & Train Adventures... Sophie heard her come command and just plowed through everyone to accomplish the command. You want your dog to be able to focus and follow through on a command even through distractions.

Hike & Train Adventures... The Stand command. All my dogs are taught this command. I use it to dry them off and or brush them. Your dog should be able to stand still while a collar and leash are put on. Or a harness is put on. They should stand still for getting their feet wiped dry. This command works great at the groomers and the vet office. It is a simple command, but you have to train your dog to hold the position. You should not be chasing your dog around for basic hygiene care.

Hike & Train Adventures... Recall is mandatory or your dog is not off leash. The owner of the small dog was talking with me and asking how I train recall. Unfortunately, his dog doesn't recall. Luckily for him my crew does and I have held many dogs so owners can get a leash on their dog.
Every command starts with your dog responding to their name. This is taught as soon as you bring your dog home. If you can't get your dog's attention and focus they will not respond to you. Recall takes time to teach and learn, but your dog's name is extremely valuable to accomplish it.

Dakota and Chase charmed the hikers that were on the trail with their well behaved manners. Finished with doing their place command so you could enjoy their cuteness.
