• 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

Homework

• Practice ending commands in a positive way.
