Dog Training – Proofing the ‘Tunnel’ command

www.sitmeanssit.com In this daily dog training video, we are showing how to ‘proof’ a tunnel command. We are assuming that the dog already knows how to go through a tunnel, and can do it at a decent degree of efficiency. This is just another imaginative way for the dog to stay focused on the behavior task at hand. Tunnels can be used as part of agility dog training, or other types of obedience used by trainers. Also to be noted in this video is the fact that because of the distance involved, the dog would be capable of seeing the toy before he got to the tunnel and would further his chances of just avoiding the tunnel and going right to the toy. The dog is released with a ‘tunnel’ command so that he knows to go through the tunnel, or whatever similar command that may be used by the handler.

Dog Training – Proofing a Conformation Stand with Great Dane

www.sitmeanssit.com This is a lesson with us teaching and proofing a ‘stand’ command to a conformation dog that is a Great Dane, so that it is very steady through distraction while maintaining a stand position. There will be lots of movement and activity around a conformation ring, so it is important that the dog remains steady and standing through that distraction. We are getting the dog used to lots of different pictures as he soon sees them as just normal.

Dog Training – Great first lesson for 2 small dogs

www.sitmeanssit.com In this daily dog training video, we see a great transition in both the owner, and the 2 little dogs that she owns and loves that is going to make her life much easier. She learned how to confidently handle the Sit Means Sit remote dog training collar pretty well for her first lesson, and should have her dogs off leash around distraction in no time! She also saw very clearly that she could give the dogs all the commands she wanted previously, but until we have the dogs attention, most words are pretty meaningless.

Dog Training – Having your dog listen in the dog park

I’ve had some email requests to see my dog in a dog park listening even though all the smells and other dogs may come up to him in there. I went to the dog park today, and asked someone to take the camera and shoot some video which I thought would be entertaining to listen to their feedback, since I knew they would not be familiar with the camera

Dog Training – Dog heeling by a moving vehicle!

It takes a lot of skill to teach your dog to heel off leash alongside a moving vehicle. In this dog-puppy training video, Sit Means Sit dog trainer Ashton Fitz-Gerald demonstrates just that with a 6 month old puppy and the Sit Means Sit dog training collar.

Dog Training Labrador Retriever – bumper boy

This is another drill that I use to teach steadiness in a working competitive hunt test Labrador Retriever by letting him see the picture of you away from him and having to sit through a few launches, and then rewarding him with a retrieve in the opposite direction. Having the dog maintain a sit away from you gives him a more thorough and complete understanding of ‘steadiness’

Labrador Retriever Dog Training – Teaching a dog to run straight

www.sitmeanssit.com This is an additional pile drill that I use that I call “Pile Drill with No Pile”. Normally a pile of bumpers is placed out for the dog to retrieve one at a time. The pile drill is a very good drill and one that certainly should not be omitted. This is an extra drill that I use to get the dog used to retrieving and taking direction with a bumper in his mouth to build more focus to task and to aid in his handling. The training that is done that leads up to this point is done with additional remote retrieve, and remote drop and pick up drills added to the mix.
