Has anyone any tips for stopping Dale coming towards me when he stands? Even at home he moves his own length every time. I've tried putting a lead on the floor and putting him behind it every time he comes forward but he doesn't seem to get the idea of staying in the one place. _________________ Janice and Dale |

my girls do it two, iv been thinking about trying to do it with the door between us as our doors have glass Windows so she could see me. but i thing it would be better if i started her back on the clicker training as it is hard to get food through a door .
i was just thinking that its a physical barrier and might help me get her to do things at a distance instead of right affront of me _________________ microchiping and grooming www.chipnclip.co.uk

I've been trying to see when he moves. Its as if when he goes from down to sit his body comes forward and when he stands he brings his front feet forwards so by the time he's down all six he's easily moved his own length. I'm not sure he even realises what he's done _________________ Janice and Dale |

Hi Janice,
You need to go back a few steps to basics.... to the stand position, and reward that position. It sounds like you have moved on to quickly. Then,reward for stand and 1 small step away and gradually build it up over time to further away. Don't talk to much and the verbal command gets lost in a jumble of words. Keep everything simple and easy for him to understand. Check your reward is a high enough value. Also don't release your dog forward towards you, go back to him and release him away. He also needs to learn a release command like "Go".
Hope this helps! |
