Place using a Place cushion, Days 1 & 2, Days 3 & 4, Days 5 & 6

Class,

In these 3 video's you will notice the following:

Days 1 & 2: The Sit (molding) is happening and the Exercise Finish is part of the training.

Days 3 & 4: The Sit (molding + verbal Sit) is happening  and the Exercise Finish is part of the training.

Days 5 & 6: The Sit Correction has been added and the molding of the Sit has ceased.  Continue to use your verbal "Sit" command to help your dog understand what to do.

You can do more, but you must complete the 600th Sit by class next week in order to advance to the Sit/Stay. The Exercise Finish can and should be incorporated into your Place training sessions. It makes it easier to keep your Sit counts correct in your head and or tracking in a log.

 *CAUTION FOR YOUNG PUPPIES...it is better to do smaller segments of these sequences several times a day than to barrel through doing a days worth of training at one time. Puppies get tired and their muscles are still developing so less, done well, more often, is a sound training approach.**

*GROWN DOGS ..The rest of the class with grown dogs, work your training sessions as directed. A grown dog needs the mental discipline this training works.

These video's will help your dog to learn Place, Exercise Finish, and completing their Sit assignment this week.

Please note in the videos the homemade "Place cushion" which is simply a pillow sham stuffed with new carpet padding.  Roxanne had at least 8 of these made and keeps them in her car, around the house, and take them with her when traveling as "Place" is a portable command.



Place... Days 1 & 2

Place... Days 3 & 4

Place....Days 5 & 6

Delighted with this classes commitment to learning this correctly. You can do this and be ready for next weeks class which is Week 4 - the Sit/Stay.

Happy Training,

Jan
