Adult Fun & Focus Class - Week 1

Welcome to class Goose, Nellie, Bozley and their parents,

I hope you all enjoyed the lecture on Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing the pups again. :)

Remember not to overdo exercises. We will often split up to practise something and I come around to one pup after the other to see how things are going and give further advise. Please use the time that I am not with you to play with your puppy and to take them outside for toilet stops. If they do have a mistake inside, please let me know, so I can clean and disinfect properly.

Please download the lecture here and watch the following videos as preparation for next week:

Positive Interrupter

Please note that any time Kikopup uses the click, we will be using the YES in class since it will have the same effect, but be more handy in every day life.

Lead walking

Remember to do little sessions of lead-walking and only take it as far out of your driveway as your dog can handle. If your dog isn't focused on you and drags you to the park you are reinforcing wrong behaviour. You can drive your dog to the park in the meantime or not go to the park and practise lead-walking up and down your driveway with play sessions in-between. That's just as tiring but a lot more beneficial. Don't reprimand your dog for pulling. Our goal is for your dog to CHOOSE being next to you. No-one chooses being next to someone that hurts them.
