How well does your dog respond to your cues at a distance? Would your dog sit or down when they are off leash and far away? It’s a skill that can be life saving for dogs! It only needs a few minutes a day of engagement with your dog to create great behaviors, and it starts with your dog listening to you when they are close.
In the episode you'll hear:
• That a dog responding from a distance is just showing mastery of skills that they can do close up. • How to find time in your day to train your dog and how it can be engaging. • What your dog understanding of a cue looks like in day-to-day life. • About cleaning up your release cues and the releases that I use. • What to be aware of about cueing, marking, and releasing to create clarity for your dog. • Why we need transfer of value to the behaviour of sit, down or stand for our dogs. • About the experiment we conducted at agility camp and what the results showed about cues at a distance. • Why dogs who understand a behaviour close to you can perform at a distance.
