Birdy lovin it!

Birdy has no problem With the launcher or shotgun – you need to make sure you incorporate shotgun blast and guns in to your training this summer. Don’t wait until you take her hunting to expose her to guns again. Her first time hunting should be with one gun going off, not 6 guys in…   Continue

How to get to long sit and stays and what to look for and how to achieve it !

Sitting and staying with a long leash, on flat ground

This is a great video to watch and see the importance of watching your dog, seeing when to send her, how to call her off something , and send her on the correct mark

Doing singles when you get home will help, just because she can do doubles and go on the word back doesn’t mean we need to do those right away. Start small and work up with her! You’ll be able to judge !

Where Birdy should be when she’s at heel , how to move to her and help her when she needs it until you guys are use to her and she is use to her

When you get Birdy home, watch these videos. How to start her and where to start when she gets home. Start with the leash and then move to just the collar.

In this video we have Steel off leash some. His overall response to me is getting better every day. You’ll notice he sits faster, when he should, and is off leash but we still have a short leash on him to use when need be.

A little trouble sitting but that’s okay. We were in farm and fleet for about 45 minutes. We people watched and worked on heeling and sitting the whole time. Very proud of Steel!

So everything is new for Steel here. He does pretty good for the most part but distractions make listening difficult ( not just for Steel but every dog ) Carts being pushed around, the intercom going off, the hustle and bustle of people, other dogs, the list goes on. I didn’t let anyone pet steel…   Continue

Steel going to farm and fleet for some training and then a picture of him tired on the way home! Lol

No Leash! Steel is completely loose and free! You’ll notice even with his big surroundings he still wants to be next to me, and is trotting over to me when I say “come” now- great job buddy!

Started Lab Birdy

Not much here just talking about how we’ve practiced and little things like taking the collars on and off, and how he has developed patience and being okay with have my hands on him!

In this video I talk about the importance of how the e collar is used, the different levels of it , and how we can expect Steel to respond to it. And what our goals are.

Walking and explaining Steels progress

So the concept here is that when I say “come” he gets a very light nick on the collar and that is the same thing or even less pressure than jerking the leash- he will learn that when he’s told to come that he should, and will. The collar is the bad guy and we…   Continue

Steel in the process of learning that when he’s told to come, it’s not an option. So Using the collar and leash to get him to come to us!
