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.
Sofie sit/stay and stand, I realized afterward watching the video that her choker collar was not up above her Serestro collar, high on her neck for the sit/stay.
Ok, the beginning was GREAT. She was on a Sit/Stay, you stepped to her, and did a perfect Place. Then you did the Sit/Stay by facing her? Nope. Go review the Sit/Stay videos and photo sequencing. The Sit/Stay is done with you in Heel position, both you and dog facing the same direction. Please change that mechanic as that is going to mess her up when we get to Week 4.
Then when the collar is high and snug.....
*give the Stay verbal command + the Stay hand signal + step off on your right foot --ALL 3 of these things occur at THE SAME TIME.
