What level Ob are you in?

i would call it (by richling's book) half-way through intermediate. The long line is off. And sly is doing sits and downs, at a little bit of a distance. Mickey is kind of in the beg. of int.

Excellent!! Ohhh look at the Mals sitting still ... nice video clip.

GSDs and boxers too!lol

..the clip looks to have other dogs off to the left too, how many in the group?

sometimes upwards of 15-20 dogs. It all depends on how many people come.

Very nice. Those dogs all looked well behaved. Mine would have been trying to run around and play with everyone.

Verderben-Its an impressive trick, but really easy to teach. We do this by the end of our beginners class at our club. It just takes patience, persistence and rewarding the dog for what you want (or in the case of other training methods punishing what you don't want)

our dogs get lots of praise.

thats nice. Mine don't, they aren't a fan of fuss. (they dont' need it..)

Thats pretty good, Buster wouldn't be able to do that but I imagine it relativley easy to teach. How did you teach it?

It is very easy to teach it. This is coming from what we did with mickey and from richling's book:

when you teach the dog you place them for the first week. NO CORRECTIONS. The next week you incorporate corrections. the week after that you teach stay by giving them the command and them holding the into position with one had on the chest and one near the shoulders. the next week you incorporate corrections on a stay and also go to the end of the leash. make sure to add plenty of distractions to your training. and only work the dog 6 days a week.

that is in the basic obedience training. remember these are intermediate dogs. They have been through long line work. Mickey is in the beg. of intermediate training, she is off the long line, but is not on a tab yet. she has I have just started sly on a tab. all the dogs are exceling. they are doing really good. its all about balance, but taking it one step at a time.


believe in your dog that he can do it. don't take your dog for granted.
