Dog Training - Impulse Control

Chase & Rounder, 2 ridgeback rescues, work on impulse control and name recognition. Our distance behaviors are a bit sloppy here, but they did well with their impulse control so I was happy. I treated early because these exercises are relatively new to us and I wanted to reinforce (Chase seemed tentative on his stand). Also, it was a hot day and this was the end of our session. These games started with making one dog wait while I let the other go out the door. After seeing the practical applications, I decided to make it more challenging. Both boys will hold a down stay while the other one works nearby. I wanted to make it more difficult by having them both work at the same time. It is definately a work in progress but it's fun watching them learn and grow. Please, show me what you do with your dogs and post a video response.

What great dogs and what a great trainer! I have been working on this with my two border collies and border collie puppy so this gives me a good picture of what to work toward!

This is very impressive! I think the last part, where you're behind the dogs is especially tricky. Nice work.

Very good!!!! When I call one of my dogs they both will come.

Thanks. This is a hard one for us, too. I use "boys" here when I want them both.

lol ! A bit different for huskies since their favorite treat is to be harnessed to something and told to PULL ! Imagine: Sit! (he sits). Good boy! (Then you harness the dog, put on your skates, go outside, have a roll around the block, take off skates, take off harness, back inside and do it again!) haha

my huskies would put up with this for about 30 seconds then all hell would break loose

Thank you for the kind words. The more I work with my dogs, the more I learn from them. They are great teachers. :-)
