proud momma

Dontcha just love it when you have a training breakthrough or something that really shows a dogs understanding?

At our last pre agility lesson we worked the puppies accross a plank on the floor. Baby D went from being nervous to go near it, to offering to walk along the entire plank and pulling me towards it. All this within about a minute and a half, with no luring or help from the lead. He built value into it within seconds and developed his own confidence. I was such a proud Momma!

Lets here it for shaping :)

I had a dog at my agility class charging down the plank of the d/w on the ground within 5 mins of click treat. And he hated to get on anything like that his owner said. She could not believe it but she sure saw the power of the clicker from that moment on and her timing improved immensely!!I love it.

well done gem, shame we missed that, munch is up and over our garden dog walk little horror so nothing scary there, not told him or taught him, he just does it, when these babies get it they certainly get it...no stopping them. i am very pleased for you. xxx
