A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin.
Was really really hot today. Waited till almost 8pm until it got a bit cooler. Poor Sofie was so uncomfortable. But, she was a trooper and we gave it our best go. Megan took the video. Nancy
Good job. LOL..no need to stomp your feet! Just go and walk normally. When you do the Turn, just step back and let the presence of your right calf come close to Sophie's right hip. She will, I guarantee it, move away from that 'pressure'. Still chuckling over your foot stomping-:)
BUT..that stomping of the feet trains her to listen for your indication that 'something' is going to happen. Nope, we want her to watch you for your indication that 'something' is going to happen. Make sense?
