I'm super thankful for your programme! I have a miniature Schnauzer, 8 months old. I did take her to puppet school as well as elementary obedience classes. Your videos and training sessions is filling in the gaps and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, thank you ❤
The other trick especially with herding breeds is to recall while you're backing away from them because it's about your movement as well. If a dog is off lead especially when you move towards them they're like okay let's go. This is especially true with dogs that are a bit older and you are their new owner. Especially Australian shepherds or other breeds that are labeled reserved with strangers think about it they view you as a 2000 lb Bull if that Bull walks towards them they're going to react... they don't want to be caught by the bull basically. I tell owners to make sure for the first 5 days they just allow the dog to follow them around without forcing them to have to interact with you that bit of extra time means a world of difference developing trust and confidence in the new person. Kind of like a stray cat you need to win it over before you just go over and pick it up and get in its face. For instance if you're going to throw a toy throw it away from them not towards them. If you get up off the couch move away from them not towards them they will most likely follow you. That will just shave off some extra days for them to be able to feel less reactive towards the stranger danger some can have. Set yourself up for success. That's why the type of training that a good facility like McCann teaches is so important for setting up successes and making the most of the training
Do you offer a playlist of videos on the development of the puppies? (Beginner, next step, etc?) I would like to know where to start and what to work on in some kind of order. I recognize that I need to change some of the wording that I use when training my little guy. I want to teach him to place and STAY, especially when I am in the kitchen. I have inadvertently stepped on his toes when I turn around and he’s right there.
This works great indoors and our 5 month old will come right away no issues. It’s outdoors in our large backyard we have a problem. We basically have to keep her leashed or on a run to get her to come. Unless we are right in front of her with a treat in hand. We will keep working on it but are we doing the right thing?
My dogs are making choices when they want to listen to me. If they want something then they listen. But sometimes if theres no treat or something they will decide to ignore me. And i see them actively deciding at times. Idk how to break the idea that following commands is optional.
Sure will! This is a foundational step no matter the age. The key is building step by step increasing the skill and the difficulty as you get wins with your dog. Happy Training!
Ahhhh this is exactly what i need! I have a question, in your experience of border collies is there a difference between the genders as far as their recall and eagerness to do as you please, or is it mainly all about personality,

Great content! I have a 4-month-old wild Cockapoo who is doing quite well with training, but I appreciate your training videos.
