It’s our first anniversary for the show!
- Diving into the 3 rules of consistency
- Don’t forget the 10-1 ratio
- These rules are really about training you–not your dog.
Rule #1
- Once you give a command, no matter what happens, you always have to end it in a positive way
- You must understand at times that there is NO WAY your dog will complete the command, so you MUST release your dog from the command by saying “All Done”.
How to end the command
- If your dog does the command really well you may want to pet your dog and give that type of praise
- Praise is only praise when the command is completed. Any other attention you give your dog is only motivation
If your dog breaks the command, use your release command phrase—this is motivation to your dog, not praise
