Getting your dog trained off-leash is the ultimate expectation of every dog owner.

Today, discover the second of three rules to help you achieve this goal.

Show Highlights

• Rule #2
  • Once you give a command, you cannot touch your dog or the leash, and you have to do everything in your power to do that command
• Leave the leash on your dog, because it creates a sense of control of your dog.
• Various forms of motivation: verbal, noise, body language, treats, toys
• Remember that Praise is only praise if she completes the command.
• 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 .

Homework

• Practicing awareness for off-leash and on-leash training for everyday communication with your dog.
• Give a command once and let it go
• Pay attention to what you are doing and the ways you are responding for a clue to why your dog behaves the way she does.
