[QUOTE="mdmdogs3, post: 343142, member: 2745"] back when I didn't work on the farm and actually had some free time - I used to teach obedience and agility classes, some of my big things were consistency - pick one name for a command and stick to it - it doesn't matter if you want the dog to sit and you say the word "green" as long as everytime, you say "green" I use "off" for get off of me and get off of the porch - pretty funny when someone else tells my labs to get down and they lay down on the porch don't call a dog to you and then reprimand or punish it for something it has done - they only thing you will have accomplished is to teach the dog that minding you and coming to you is a very bad thing - this is hard - a pet peeve and I still catch myself in the act example: if the dog won't come to you, have someone else catch the dog and hold it - then because the dog didn't come to you - you are free to reprimand. also - try very hard to not allow a dog to get away with things you don't want them to do - example: chasing cows, chasing cars, nipping at heels - do everything you can to prevent it - it won't matter that you catch them once and let them know the behaviour is unacceptable - what about the 199 other times that you didn't catch them [/QUOTE]
