got a new puppy and going to do this right

[StinkyAcres]

It's SUCH an important cue- say there are fire engines or something coming down the street where you're walking your dog. Instead of allowing your dog to freak out, you can say 'watch' or 'look' and grab their collar and keep the dog focused on you.


Don't let your family members tell you what to train or not- in what way will it harm them or the dog for the dog to have another skill? There's not even a risk to the dogs weight, because you can use kibble to train.

Thanks, yes, I wish I could get my dog to do that. My problem is I'm not the only one who handles my dogs, so we sometimes end up using different methods. And I don't like being the one to tell everyone else what to do...

And, yes, we train with kibble most of the time. I'm glad my dogs are food motivated.

The way I teach him is I put treats In front of him and If he try's to eat it I put my hand over it and say "leave it"
