Many dog owners establish the communication with their dogs early. One way this happens is through the time spent with their dog. The owners learn their K-9 friends' behaviours and habits. The dog learns also. They pick up on the way their owners act or react to their actions and other K-9 antics.
Busy Rottie's General Obedience Level 2 ~ Extends the Communication. At this level, the main goal is to strengthen the ability of control over your dog. There are moments when you will need to bring your dog to different environments and in close contact with strangers. With the Busy Rottie system, control over your K-9 friend, without wrestling with them, is a command away.

Steps towards General Obedience:
1. The Down (Lay): The concept for the down (lay) command is simular to the sit command, however it takes a little more patience. Once the sit command has been acheived, the down command should be taught next. The addition to teaching the down would be the use of the lead / leash. Once your dog is at a sit, a gentle 'tug' down on the lead / leash will give the dog an understanding of what you are requesting. The requirement for patience may be needed at this point. Your dog may resist this request initially. The down (lay) command can be perceived by the dog as a submissive action. If so, the dog may not be as relaxed when first initiating the request. Remember, not to make it a battle. Your dog just wants to understand what you want. 2. The Heal: The first basic connection you want to maintain with your dog is where he/she should be. Universally, it is established that the dog remains on the left of the owner/handler when walking. When using the lead / leash to guide your dog, you will want to have the lead / leash in your strong hand. You will be able to use your body as leverage with the dog on the left and the lead / leash being controlled by your right hand. For left-handed people: you can try the same side. However, you can switch for your convenience. Just remember to stay consistent. 3. The Stay: Depending on your activity with your dog, the Stay command may be one of the most vital commands for you and your K-9 friend. When introducing the stay command, at Busy Rottie will suggest starting simple. Try taking your friend for a walk. When you want to take a quick break during the walk, that is a prime moment to show your dog the stay. Take a moment and just stand in place telling the dog to stay. Remember, when you are ready finish with the 3 Rs (Release, Reward and Return). |
