Training is a Lifelong Commitment!For the next 6 weeks we are
teaching our Dogs to heel, sit, down, stay and come. We are teaching them patience and how to pay attention to us. We have
set aside time each day to work with them and repeat over and over what we expect from them. Yea! We made it through the 6
weeks and our dogs have graduated. Now what? My dog knows all his
basic commands and does them when he chooses, he is still crazy in the house, and he doesn’t always listen. Am I doing
something wrong? Does he need more training? Does any of this sound
familiar? I am sure it does, I hear it all the time. Training is an ongoing commitment for the rest of your dog's life.
It is time for you and your dog to spend quality time together and have fun. Dogs see Training time as a job and they really
enjoy jobs.
When your 6 weeks of Basic training is done,
it would be time to make a commitment to yourself and your dog, to continue to set those 15 minutes aside for him each day.
Put his leash on and take him for a walk, while you are out practice the automatic sit, ask him to sit and stay. You can incorporate
all his commands into your daily walk. At night while you are watching TV call him over and put him in a down stay, ask him
to hold it for 15 minutes to a half hour. Those times when the crazies hit and your puppy is running around like a nut in
the house. Tell him enough and ask for a sit stay for 15 minutes. After this give him a rawhide or filled Kong to work on
for a little while.
Playing fetch or Frisbee is another great
training opportunity. Throw the ball call him to come and drop it. Tell him to sit and stay, then throw the ball, release him with the "ok"
and tell him to go get it. Wow! The things he can learn while having fun.
So, remember training does not stop just because class has. You have a dog for his whole life and that means you
need to be responsible and make a commitment to make him the best dog he can be.
There are many training opportunities
for you and your dog. Stay active, try one of my continuing education classes or a class just to have fun with your
dog.
