This week, you will expand upon that by breaking the "recall chain" down into three different links. Think of a recall as a chain of behaviors, consisting of three links. If one link is broken, your dog will not come to you.
You will work on the three links separately, and eventually you will put them all together.

For example, we might say ‘come on’ to our dogs when we want them to move along with us. Some say ‘come on, you know this’ when they are becoming frustrated with the dog. Others may have used the word ‘come’ to mean move to me but the dog only has a 50/50 success rate.

They bark, destroy things, house soil or escape from the property and cause headaches for the owners and their neighbors. These problems can be caused by a variety of different causes, from boredom to separation anxiety. The causes are often very different from what owners think they are, because they are NOT due to spite, revenge or just "acting out." In addition, Many dogs are labeled as having "separation anxiety" when in fact they do not.

They consist of several breeds having a predisposition to be bullies (Pitbulls, Bull Terriers, Boxers), but the behaviors are not confined to one type of dog. They require "different" raising skills than many other dogs, including more work on impulse control and on appropriate body language. Having owned many different breeds, as well as a bully breed, Trish will give us some insight into what we need to do if we own a "bully" breed.

Stop Moving Forward!It is extremely important to teach your dog to "WAIT" - both for your convenience and for his safety. "WAIT" puts your dog on hold - it tells him to proceed no further. Whereas your release words grant permission to do something, "WAIT" denies permission.
The most important use of "WAIT" is at doors - the doors of your home or other buildings and the doors of cars. When you use your release word ("OK!") and open a door, the dog is permitted to go through. When you say "WAIT," he is not permitted to go through.

Recent advances in biology have underscored how much of our emotional lives are shared by our four-legged best friends, although it’s also important to be aware of the differences. However, we all experience emotions, but don’t always understand them. What are emotions? Do people and dogs share facial expressions when communicating their emotions and if so, how? Fear, anger, happiness, love, grief, jealousy and sympathy are all human emotions. Do dogs have these as well?

Your dog should obey you anywhere, anytime, and under any circumstance. This is called reliability. You want to be able to rely on your dog to obey, no matter what.
To get a high level of reliability, you must practice with your dog in new and different environments where distractions occur naturally.

Remember, dogs do not understand English. They do not understand when you talk to them in sentences, paragraphs, or lectures. They are not born knowing what sit, down, stay or come mean. Dogs can learn quite a large vocabulary of words and short phrases. However, for each word or phrase you want him to respond to, you must carefully teach him what it means by communicating with him in a way he will understand.

Everything you will do with your dog builds on this exercise. This is your foundation for getting reliable behaviors. When you say your dog’s name, your dog should look into your eyes. He should not continue doing what he was doing nor should you have to repeat his name over and over. You should get a good solid look into your eyes, not a glance, not a look at your treat pouch, your hand or elsewhere.

Play can be incorporated into treatment plans for many types of dog behavioral issues. Because so many types of behavior problems are arousal-based, at least in part, the energetic nature of play can be an effective way to redirect dogs’ behavior into more appropriate channels. Another reason that play can often be so effective at treating behavior problems is that play does more than change a dog’s behavior. Play can actually change dogs’ emotions. Many behavior problems have an emotional component, so changing the dogs’ emotions...2008-07-1200 minTeacher's Pet Podcast - Training Pets & Pet Obedience - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)PetLifeRadio.com - Episode 18 Parenting Your DogHow many parents use their parenting skills to raise dogs?

Training a Deaf DogOwning a deaf dog may not be as difficult as one thinks. As humans, we rely heavily on sound, but the deaf dog can force you to be more creative in your methods and more conservative with your communication. Most inexperienced handlers talk and use sound way too much as part of the training process. As a result, dogs become overloaded with stimuli and begin to tune out. They are quickly labeled distracted and inattentive.
