How To Prepare A Dog For Therapy Dog Training

[RayneWolfe]

I have a one year old exuberant English Bull terrier named Carmen that I want to train for social therapy. She's headstrong and leash aggressive. Is there hope?

what's the point of the watch?

@hollybee43 To get the dog's attention in all circumstances. I never saw the point until I took an obedience class. Watch gives that full focus that you'll need in a therapy dog. It's also helpful if you want to have the dog get its eyes off another dog or child that it might get excited about.

This is a great video! Keep up the good work. I want to train my gf shitzu to

Listen to commands and to stop barking at everybody. All dogs can be trained right?

Regardless of age? Its a four year old shitzu. Tnx!

A Shitzu? Oh, you're screwed.

Just kidding! You can train just about any dog anything. Just be calm and patient. Above all Stay Consistent! Make sure everybody in his/her life is supporting and reinforcing the training and it'll be a snap.

@watchmesave All dogs can be trained. That whole "can't teach an old dog new tricks" stuff isn't true. I just adopted my newest dog a few weeks ago, he's about 3. He came to me as a blank slate. Now I'm preparing him for his CGC and therapy work and he's doing wonderful!
