Back To The Basics

We get a lot of questions like: "My dog use to do this perfect and now he won't do it as good, how do I fix it?" My response every time is how did you train it from the beginning? Once we determine how the dog was trained then we can come up with a plan on how to achieve the goal again. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics. Start the dog out fresh and build him/her back up. Since the dog already knows what is going on, they will try to "cheat" to get the reward but do not let them. They have to do what you are wanting to get the reward. We also emphasize on high praise and making sure the dog is having fun. Keep your session short and consistent with high energy. Consistency and repetition is the key!
