I have not taken sadly any classes from Dr Dunbar or his group of trainers but I give just a bout anything too. He is and has been the worlds leading dog trainer for a great many years. and he was forgotten more then most of us will ever know.

I have taken a few dog classes some grest and some incrediblly bad.
It got to work for you and your dog.
I have done Rally O and agility starter classes and three puppy classses under trainers.

Count you put a paw movement on a small hand cue and you say what 3 the 2 and you move you hand cue and the dog paws until you stop the cue.

I am ashamed is a little change from say your prayers where the dog puts it feet on your arm and tucks its head under your arm. or it can be a chair and it tucks it head between its leg.

Targeting is when you use a long stick called a target stick ( karen Pryors web site has them or use a wooden spoon) and the dog touches the end. with it you can teach a dog to go in and out and figure eight your legs and to pick it up and bring it back to you and put things in your lap. Follow the stick.

How do I teach my baby to pray? or count these sounds like fun I need to teach her new things as she's home a lot and can't really take her out

You can lure the dog to get its paw on a stoll, cofe table or step.
Then you have to clicker it to get its butt tucked in close to the stoll.
Cause you have to shape it closer ad closer to the step so it looks like it kneeling.
Then you get it to drop its nose down between its front paws on the stool.

Best thing to do is to lure the sit with the feet up and then work on getting butt tucked then stick in the head drop.
Head can not go down before butt it tucked in as the dog can not do the tuck motion before with head down.

Next time if I miss a ?? asked of me, do not be afraid to PM me for the answer. I get busy and sometimes do not look back in posts.

I am trying to teach Choco to crawl...... but he keeps standing up and walking towards the treat..

I make him lie down. and then wave a treat in front of him and say crawl....
But as soon as I say crawl, his butt raises and he starts walking. I do not put the treat so far that he needs to get up and walk towards it... but he does anyways.

Any tips??

[newyorkie34]

as soon as he raises you need to say "down down" with the treat in your hand and his nose smelling it! wait Until his entire body is “down” again, then kind of pull away the treat from him and say crawl crawl as soon as he crawls just a little bit say “good crawl” or “yes” then give him the treat, then he’ll eventually get it than start stretching out the “crawl a bit longer” he’ll get but remember as soon as he gets up say uuggghhhuhh down down  you can even help him to put his body down he'll get it

[YorkieMother]

Try having him crawl under a towel or through a box low enough he has to keep his butt down.

hmmm.. i tried saying down every time he raised his butt....
he does go down.. but then he raises them again.
ive tried this for a few days now.. hmm hes so eager to get the treat.
and if he doesnt get the treat after a few times.. he doesnt listen to me anymore.

mayb ill try the crawling underneath something next time.

hopefully he will get it soon...

Are you delivering the treat at ground level? If not, that might help. Then he won't be looking up for it.

Eddie's got the same problem with his butt going up too fast. His head and front legs stay down, but his butt is up. I like the suggestion above of having him crawl through a small box or something. I might try that.
