Week 3 Homework Maintenance Plan

  This is copied from another blog right now.  I am working on getting the appropriate directions and videos linked to this.   This should give you an idea, until I can finish it up and customize it for Dewey: The blue text below goes to the exercise directions and videos. Read through  the whole blog , if you have not already.  If you have, please be sure to read notes for training for Week 3 with the Exercise Directions and Videos linked below. Sit on The Dog  [ video ]  30+ minutes   This can be rotated on days that you are not doing Behavioral Downs or Long Place.   Goal:   To get your dog relaxed and chill in many different environments and scenarios.  When the dog lies down within five minutes or less, and is chill for much of that time, that is when you can up the challenge and distractions for the dog. Behavioral Downs  [ video ] varies between in time but the most has been  30 minutes  This can be r...

Week 3 Videos

I neglected to get some ones of me working on the Week 3 differences with Dewey and with Explanation.  So I will be inserting videos of Sterling (on purpose this time) or another dog to demonstrate anything that I think you need, but might be lacking in the Week 3 videos that I did take of Dewey.  I forgot how distracted I can get during a lesson, and it's hard to video and explain at the same time. Expect more videos to be added, therefore. Relaxation Exercises: I meant to get you both doing them during the lesson.  So I don't have ones of Sit on The Dog or Behavioral Downs.   Those went pretty good during the lesson though, and you can refer to Week 2 or if I take some of Sterling. Long Place is essentially both an obedience and behavioral exercise at this point: Obedience Exercises: Electronic Collar Work Let's Go and Sit, and Getting Dewey off Long Line:

Week 3 Let's Go With Electronic Collar

Let's Go command.   So remember let's go means just move towards me.   You can tighten that up as much as you would like to be closer or farther away.   At the very beginning, I like them to come at least six feet from me. STEP 1:  Hold the long line appropriately through the handle STEP 2:  Begin walking your planned path until the dog is not following you anymore and has become distracted or not paying attention to what you are doing STEP 3:  At that point say "Let's Go" or "[Dog's Name] Let's Go" if you prefer. STEP 4A:  If the dog immediately comes towards you say "Good Boy" or "Good Let's Go".   STEP 4B:   If the dog doesn't (wait a couple of seconds to give them a chance, but not too long), use the top button (called the nick button) on the Dogtra collar and tap it repeatedly until the dog turns toward you, and then stop and encourage your dog forward STEP 4C:  If your dog gets confused or stuck with the tapping...
