Canine Behavioral Training

My motto for dog training is "every moment can be turned into a training moment" which is what I did today when playing fetch with Luke. Luke is working on his impulse control so when he dropped the toy, I had him sit and wait. This helped Luke to pause and learn to respond in a controlled way versus an impulsive way. Hagrid also enjoyed his time outside too.

Today I covered some of the basics such as "front" "post" "back" "down" and "stand" before working on the challenging commands such as the "take and give" and "close". After, I took Luke to dollar general in which we continued to practice "close" and ignoring everything around him. Luke did amazing and continues to make great progress.
