This is a session with my dog ‘Nash’ working on a ‘beg’ command, and also to take small turns in facing me. I am using a bite pillow as the toy for him, and it definetly takes some discipline for the dog to be very involved with the toy, but yet still come in and out of drive, and maintain the same enthusiasm at the end as he had in the beginning.

As always, distraction is then brought in and his rules do not change, nor does his job.

Stay tuned for tommorrow’s daily dog training video as we will show another method with these dogs.
Always giving dogs a variety of pictures makes it much easier for them to learn. They will see what you are teaching them in a variety of ways.

This lets him practice sitting in place, and coming directly to a spot from a distance while he is learning this.

This method will assure you that he remains in place and you could even do it from a distance from him. This short time of confinement will also build up his expectations and always assure that you have a confident dog.

By the end of this very first session, we will be able to bring the owner of the dog into this, and he will be able to maintain this training even through severe distraction that you will see using his knowledge of the Sit Means Sit Collar that we have given him.

You will also see that with the beginning of the attention exercises that Ashton Fitz-Gerald uses for this particular dog, that it is much easier for the dog to enter the room with the training of the other dog going on. I would suggest that you go back to Episode 1 to see the difficulties before we got started.

The dog across the room is just a 5 month old puppy that our Sit Means Sit dog training location in Las Vegas, Nevada is training, and is also doing quite well already.
