Swojskiego tyle tylko i wyjawienie widzom nie będzie odsłonach bez the Loose Leash Walking course offered at Ottawa Canine School. This was an excellent course. It was a 4 one hour session that provided me with techniques, and great tips that help me teach to walk without pulling. The instructor was attentive and knowledgeable. took the time to demonstrate and corrected us when needed and gave us the necessary time to practice. I would highly recommend this course to everyone… From week 9 of Bo’s life, your school has been the best thing that has happened to us. Bo and I learned so much Her emergency recall word is the most important skill we have learned to date. We’re proofing the skill different situations and she’s doing fabulously. We’ve learned it so well that I am fully confident of her return if need be. I know a superb dog trainer area who has a giant breed dog. That wouldn't be notable, except she's extremely petite woman. The dog outweighs her by quite a bit. But you know what everyone comments on when they the two of them together? How well the big dog walks on leash. And she does. She really really does. And it's fantastic to But what nobody ever talks about is the trainer's attention on the dog. She is always working with her. She's either using a clicker to reinforce attention and good choices, or by talking to her softly and giving her direction and support The dog thrives on this feedback. You can her responding and relaxing as she listens to her human. The dog is happy and engaged and her human is too. I am mentioning this because it is a beautiful demonstration of a relationship based clear communication. And it is ONGOING. This dog trainer didn't teach her dog to walk politely for a little while and then stop. Her relationship is constantly developing, adjusting; the trainer responds to her dog the moment. Good trainers understand that training isn't a static, one-time event. It is a continuum, a relationship that continue as as your dog lives. Training is a means, not end. Yes, you can get good solid behaviors, manners, and obedience that are -lasting, but if you do not continue to reinforce those behaviors, and engage with your dog a clear, consistent way, the manners and good behavior fade. dog Izzy was a reactive dog. That means that she reacted to seemingly benign things over-the-top way. For example, if she walked by a dog who happened to turn his head her direction, she'd bark and lunge. She was little, but she could make a pretty big scene and it wasn't pretty. every time we went outside together I made sure I could help her handle the things that stressed her out a way that kept her calm. If I couldn't, we changed direction or we walked into the street that the situation would be less difficult for her to handle. We did this her whole life. Yes, she got better. We were able to compete dog sports together and go places where other dogs were out and about, but she was never cured. Behavior is not the same thing as infection. There is no antibiotic for reactivity or aggression. It is up to us–the humans–to give our dogs clear communication and support they can remain calm enough to understand what they should do tricky situations. And then it is up to us to let them know when they have done the right thing. Rewards, praise, contact–all those things are motivators for dogs. Maybe part of the problem here are the words and When we say dog is trained or I have a trained dog, it implies the dog was trained the past but now she behaves, a before-and-after kind of thing. But according to Merriam-Webster, the definition of training is the act, process, or method of one who trains. The key word here is Body builders get ripped for competition, but if they stop training, the muscles go away. If you want to have a six-pack, you need to train regularly and consistently. The same applies to making sure your dog
