A good article on training shutting a dog down | Nancy Tanner For those few on here that like to train well with their dog. Enjoy the read, I did. |
Oh yes I love the music idea My very first competitive obedience with my young boy, I watched this amazing heeling work with a gal and a malinois. I asked her how she and her dog did the heel so well? She replied I don't look at it as heeling but as dancing with my dog! This has stayed with me over many years. But to actually play music - yeah that is something I am going to try! I think it will work really well with Dara and I. Razzle maybe too. And quite frankly I don't think Yorkies are so terribly different from other stubborn breeds to train. They mature in the head slowly about akin to many working breeds. Everything has to be moderated because of their small size - and of course at least with the Yorkies I know many of which are obedience trained and working terriers - they do have a high drive - a beautifull to my minds eye excitement and desire to work - but can be a bit scattered with their focus. And I think a truism is = your dog will meet up to your expectations - or if your expectations are low - will meet those too. They literally live to love us - and to work for us - if we nuture their natural work ethic. |
Very nice article. I love the idea of thinking of it as a dance with your dog. Definitely! Stay in tune and synch. I also agree with you about expectations. Goes hand in hand with setting your dog up for success. I have been working with Teddy on our solo walks without Max this week. What a difference! When Max gets back to walking, I will work/dance with him individually. |
