At Busy Rottie, we believe that effective training creates opportunities to communicate with your dog. Training helps to establish a language that both you and your dog can use to make the connection and bridge the gap of your communication.
In Busy Rottie's General Obedience Level 1, the main goal is to have your dog comfortable with a collar and leash as well the ability to sit, lay and stay on command; completely on a leash. Using the Busy Rottie system, your dog will respond to commands on the first request.
Remember, make the training experience fun for the both of you.

Steps towards General Obedience:
1. The Collar: Your new friend is ready to explore the world around them. That is one of the very reasons for the collar. The collar is for more than looks. It offers your K-9 friend security, identification and among a dog's most needed elements ~ a comfort zone. Every dog can appreciate the freedom of nothing around their neck, however when your dog is away from home there needs to be something that provides them with a comfort zone; because when your dog is comfortable in the public, the public is comfortable with your dog. Establishing a collar with your dog can be a bit trying, depending on your method. Your dog may not be familiar with a collar and there may be some resistence. At Busy Rottie, we follow a positive-recognition method. In short, give your K-9 friend something positive to remember when applying the collar. 2. The Lead: The lead / leash is a very important item. When handled appropriately, the lead / leash is an extension of your communication with your dog. He or she can establish fond memories with the lead / leash in mind. Start early when introducing a lead / leash with your dog. The sooner you introduce the lead / leash, the easier it is for your K-9 friend to accept it. Remember, they like to play; so involving the lead / leash during play can go a long way. 3. The Sit: There is a simple trick to training a dog to sit on command. The trick is simply that you have to show them. Most dogs are eager to get-a-long and please. With that, understand that if you gently show a dog what you want done and speak a word at the same time to signify that action, you will soon find that the dog will follow your command. A major key when teaching the sit is to not constantly repeat the command. For example - you say "Sit, Spot". Spot does not sit right away. You follow-up with, "I said sit Spot. You heard me Spot, sit..." That will not help. Try showing the movement by the second request. This will help the dog recognize the action, while you are helping them. |
