Teaching basic commands
I would love some advise- is this usual for the oes. If so, what is a good motivator? so far she has been pretty good with potty training, and praise and happy dances  seem enough for her. But to "come"...only if she decides she wants to  thanks for the help. sandi |

Yes you want to go to class.  You can teach any of the exercises at home if you know how...but the class situation with all the distractions and socialization is priceless! As an instructor, I could teach all my dogs at home, but I would never consider not taking my pups to a class for all the benefit there is. In fact I do as much as possible - several classes, pups go with to other dog's events and practices....it's all the best foundation for life there is! My 5 month old has been going to puppy kindergarten, then to the classes I teach twice a week, his older uncle's agility class to learn to behave in a crate under distracting circumstances, started conformation and rally classes, and also to competition events - weight pull practice, agility practice, lure coursing and staying in a hotel for another dog's weekend agility trial. He's a pro already and considers it all part of normal life - very little gets to him, as he has been exposed to all this from the time he had shots and could go out. |
