I am always working on something with my dog. each day he does something and I think, I wish he wouldn’t do that! but it’s simpler to say “I wish my canine would do that” than it is to say “I am teaching my canine to do this.”
What are you teaching your canine best now?
I’m teaching mine to walk on a loose leash without any kind of training collar. certainly this will take a lot of work, but he is 2 years old now, and I think walking my canine without depending on a prong collar or gentle Leader is a sensible goal. maybe by the time he is 4 we will have it down!
I also want to start conditioning him to stay on his canine bed when someone concerns the door. but I have to admit, I haven’t started working on this yet.
And third, I will always be working on the never-ending goal of teaching Ace self control around a tennis ball.
Ace and his buddy, Radar, are imagined above showing off their staying skills.
