Hello there!
Last friday we practiced loose leash walking, sit, down and come when called "recalls".
You both did really well with your existing cues. Remember to cue your dog only one time.
We also talked about luring your dog into the heel position as p ractice for walking through crowded areas like the farmers market. When making turns remember to look, talk and offer treats where you want your dog to be. If you're turning into your dog drop your shoulder back a bit and lure them slightly behind you.
Be sure when you practice your stay command that you really utilize your release cue. If your dog breaks out of its down command before you release him, immediately take him back to where he was and re-set him in his stay position. Reduce the amount of distance and time you want him to stay and release him.
I'm hoping you started practicing handling your dogs feet while offering something really yummy. I'll bring Strega tomorrow to show how I clip her nails.
What tricks would you like to learn?
Sorry this took a while
