I heard that everyone has been working very hard with their dogs. That is nice to hear!! Your trainer has given me a list of exercises that your dog should be able to complete by the next class. Remember, a few short training sessions during the day can make a big difference!! So, here goes:
* Sit stay - 1 minute
* Down stay - 2 minutes
* Stand stay - 1 minute
* Heeling - including automatic sit and the following commands: fast, slow, about-turn
* Recall - 2 ways to work this- - - 1) toss a piece of food about 6 ft away.....when your dog starts to eat it, call "Belle, come" 2) while heeling, start backing up and call your dog to you "Cedar, come"
Please remember, next week we will not have a training session. Instead, we will have the monthly meeting of the county-wide dog club. We will meet at the 4-H building just like we always do, in the Bison Room, but don't bring dogs!!
