Toddler Training Dog!

We recently discovered this video of me training a dog as a toddler. According to my mom, I was two years old. I found it remarkable, that even at this young age, I was using positive rewards, clear with my commands, determined and patiently waited until the dog responded with the correct behavior I desired. You can see it was second nature to me as I was gentle, exact, motivated, clear, direct, patient and quick on my feet to change things up when the dog was not responding properly. I trained the Labrador puppy using the natural training skills I was born with...and still use to this day when I train animals...or people...or my boyfriend. LOL I handled the hyper and excited puppy/dog, much larger than myself, with military like precision. LOL

Me too! Although, you can see what I am asking the pup to do and what I am wanting from him through clear directions and controlling his behavior. It's crazy how something can be in your DNA from day one! I suppose when someone says "it just comes naturally to me", this is what they are talking about. Training is my passion and always has been. I used to put on a circus for the neighborhood with my pets and believe I was the only person back then to walk their cats on harnesses like dogs. LOL
