Enjoy the OB fun together, Nubis will make Dad proud.
- he will probably be introduced to a few nice ladies there, that whats to hug him / your boy, will lap it up
Thanks
Well, he definately made me proud, when I had his focus and he was hitting all the commands very fast. Other than being my boy, when focused, I think the trainer could tell, he knew his stuff. Crap, she comes over and talks to him, and he sits before she can say it, down when commanded , up and off when he tried to jump up. hehehe
As Nubis'sMom, summed it up, it was sensory overload for him. with so many distractions, smells, intercom noises, people staring in, other dogs, people. He did learn to relax a little towards the end.
I could tell he was stressed, whining, Big ole vocal yawns, drooling at one point. and hungry.. Not sure, what i was thinking, not giving him lunch before hand, cuz I am sure he was becoming hornery boy, because he was hungry.
Hopefully, next week, with some grub in his belly, and the novelty wearing off, I can get his focus back, but this is one of the reasons, we opted for it, whereas one on one , in the house , on walks he is awesome with focus and responding to commands.
I am not a social butterfly and only have a small amount of family and frieds, so that is definately not something he is accustomed to.
Yeah, he loves women more than men, I tell Nubis'sMom, Nubis is the one getting all the attention. heheheh
Yay Nubis!
I hope he has a great first day. Make sure to let us know how it goes.
Thanks, Pictures say more than words. LOL
And used kleenex as an extra special reward--I have one of those too.
Have a good time at school!
THanks,,, he hasnt got any of those yet, but I could also take a 24 pack of toilet paper rolls, he loves them. heheh
Oh, today is going to be a fun day!
LOL You have one of those too! Kyrah will work for a crumb or carrot! I do use very small treats since Kyrah has to watch her weight.
Cant wait for an update of today's events! I am sure he will be the star student!
I think the distractions, people and dogs were more high value for him than treats. I think he was the star student because of his whining and vocal yawns. He did do Excellent on executing commands when he wasnt distracted.
Good luck!
Thanks
You can always use his kibble for rewards
Thanks,I think i will try that the next time, cuz If their taking forever, while people are getting their dogs to obey the commands, i have to keep giving him reps and his eating a ton of treats.
It was a good lesson for me,,as i have to work on his focus more with the watch me command. I will start working him more with the clicker, as she allowed that and it helped him, as he was use to the clicker.
I also have to find a better word than Okay, for the release command,,,, Any suggestions?
