Bill teaches an approach to getting a very fast whistle stop OR for a dog that needs to learn what he didn't learn from the beginning Videos: hawkeyemedia.net Blog: billhillmann.net
Can you follow this up with working on a quick sit when the dog is off lead, reenforcing with the collar at distance - and the timing and method of correction? Thanks.
I have a 3yr yellow that gets slightly unresponsive whengoing to a challenging mark and doesn't initially get it. He starts hunting around and has blown off the sit whistle. when he gets like that usually I had to nick and sit whistle again. other times there is no problem
This works more generally too -- correction first, then command. Gets 'em listening for the command and working to beat the correction. Becomes a game for the dog to see if they can beat you to it with instant obedience.
How can you beat the tug when it's the first command and a correction in one, I fail to see how the dog can beat the correction, what motivation is there for him to race the whistle, I can understand him racing the tug because its uncomfortable, but he can never beat it???
@@ELLISRUGER8 I've trained hundreds of dogs. Basically it teaches them to always listen for that next command, and you rarely need to do it more than a couple times.
I noticed there were a couple of times where you jerked the rope and then blew the whistle before his butt was on the ground. From a timing perspective does that matter?
