Dakota Board and Train day 1

6/15/2015

0 Comments

 
Dakota is a young (and quite beautiful) blue Weimaraner who is here for 2 weeks of advanced obedience training on a Dogtra IQ remote collar. He is a very sweet natured boy who aims to please. Most of the mistakes he makes are out of an excess of puppy energy and a desire to make his people happy but misreading what he is supposed to do. In his mind he wants to greet his favorite person and why wouldn't they want a large dog jumping up on them? He is sure his folks are just as happy to be on a walk as he is and so of course they want to go faster! 
What our goal is this week is to give young Dakota some self restraint and some training. He just doesn't know what is expected of him and I bet once he does he will shape up into a really wonderful dog.
Today we started work on Heel/Autosit, Down, and Implied Stay. He is doing well though of course making some mistakes. He is confused about Heel but is doing well with Automatic Sit. His Down is okay in the house but outside he wants to play! We will be getting him used to his new commands and to the idea that sometimes he needs to work instead of doing whatever he wants. 
I am looking forward to teaching this big doof what he needs to know to be a more enjoyable house dog. Welcome Dakota!
