I practiced these exercises in more distractions (Long Sands) with Pippy: NOTE YOUR HOMEWORK STAYS THE SAME EXCEPT YOU SHOULD WORK IN MORE DISTRACTIONS NOW WITH THE ECOLLAR (MAYBE BUILD UP SLOWLY).   YOU CAN ALSO PRACTICE WITHOUT THE ECOLLAR, BUT REMEMBER YOU NEED TO DIAL DOWN THE DISTRACTIONS AND BUILD UP SLOWLY FOR THAT.   REMEMBER TO WALK HER ON A STRUCTURED WALK ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAINING.   YOU CAN HAVE JUST FUN WALKS WITH HER TOO. Circle  Sit Stays for 1 Minute at Long Sands Beach with Pippy: Distance Still Sit Stays with Pippy on Long Sands: Pippy Still Sit Stays on Long Sands Beach I did not video this, but this was Pippy on the bench place (that I helped her up on) at Long Sands.

NOTE 1:  TEXT BELOW IN BLUE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE DIRECTIONS OR VIDEO FOR EACH EXERCISE. NOTE 2:  YOU SHOULD WORK WITH YOUR DOG FOR AN HOUR EACH DAY.  I TEND TO SEPARATE THE OBEDIENCE TRAINING UP INTO NO MORE THAN 15 MINUTE SECTIONS.  SO I DO ONE OF THE CALMING EXERCISES FOR HALF THE DAY (EXCEPT PUPPY EXAM WHICH ONLY TAKES 15 MINUTES).  THEN THE REST OF THE DAY I DO SESSIONS ON OBEDIENCE EXERCISES. NOTE 3:  YOU CAN USE FOOD WITH THE ECOLLAR TRAINING TO TREAT HER WHEN SHE PERFORMS CORRECTLY OR UNEXPECTEDLY DOES NOT DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT HER TO DO BUT YOU EXPECTED HER TO DO. NOTE 4:  YOU CAN PROBABLY DO WORK IN A QUIET OUTSIDE AREA ON SIT ON THE DOG, RELAX FOR EXAM, SITS, LET'S GO, SEND TO PLACE (IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING PORTABLE), AND CIRCLE PLACE (ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NEED TO DECREASE THIS TO ONE CIRCLE AT A TIME OUTSIDE AND THEN BUILD IT UP).   Behavioral Calming Exercises That You Can Rotate on Different Days: (Example Monday might be Sit on ...

Sit Reps with the Electronic collar: ***Some or all of these can be done in the above exercise, when the dog is called back to you.   Simply place them in a sit after a "let's go" or "come".   They can also be done as a stand alone. Equipment needed:    Electronic collar, flat or training collar for leash attachment, and long line or 6' leash. STEP 1:  . Make sure you have turned the electronic collar on correctly (use the vibrate button, which on the dogtra is the last button away from the antenna side).   Also make sure the collar was put on tight enough. STEP 2:   Come to a stop from whatever you are doing (walking with the dog or following the dog around).   Be sure that you have access to stepping on the long line fairly close to your dog.   In fact in the beginning, you may want to be stepping on it already. STEP 3:   Issue the command "sit". STEP 3A:   Give them a second.   If they sit within that time, be sure t...

Let's Go command.   So remember let's go means just move towards me.   You can tighten that up as much as you would like to be closer or farther away.   At the very beginning, I like them to come at least six feet from me. STEP 1:  Hold the long line appropriately through the handle STEP 2:  Begin walking your planned path until the dog is not following you anymore and has become distracted or not paying attention to what you are doing STEP 3:  At that point say "Let's Go" or "[Dog's Name] Let's Go" if you prefer. STEP 4A:  If the dog immediately comes towards you say "Good Boy" or "Good Let's Go".   STEP 4B:   If the dog doesn't (wait a couple of seconds to give them a chance, but not too long), use the top button (called the nick button) on the Dogtra collar and tap it repeatedly until the dog turns toward you, and then stop and encourage your dog forward STEP 4C:  If your dog gets confused or stuck wit...
