TwoWeek Board and Train Program: Georgia, Labrador Retriever, Female, 8months

Dog Training, Georgia, Lab, Day 10: Pet The Puppy | Child Distractions | Downtown | Blue Ridge, GA

Georgia trained around large crowds in downtown Blue Ridge, GA. She started with training at a small vendor gathering where she was able to keep all four feet on the ground while being petted. Puppies have trouble with impulse control and like to jump on people. She also trained at the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway ticket office amongst the crowd. Later, we travelled to Lake Blue Ridge Recreation Day Use Area for leash working around families with small children. Lastly, we stopped at the dog park for off leash dog distraction training.

The first week of the program the focus is inhome manners training. Dogs do not generalize training from one environment to another. The second week of the program manners training is out in public. I travel with Georgia to all the beautiful towns, hiking trails and parks in North GA, as well as Western NC and TN area.

With all dogs in the 2week program, I'm increasing Distance, Duration, Distractions on command to a high statistical level 99.99%. When dogs enter the program their level of distance and duration on command is usually very low because of distractions. I specialize in distraction training.

In addition, I teach sign language along with the verbal commands. As dogs age some experience hearing loss. Pet parents report they are able to communicate with their senior dogs with sign language.

Commands included over the 2weeks both onleash and offleash:

Come (recall)
Break release command
Place boundary training (object defined)
Sit, Down and Wait (It doesn't matter if Georgia "sits" or "downs" just so she is stationary)
Heel and Sit – Formal Loose Leash Walking (defined position)
Follow – Informal Loose Leash Walking

Georgia is wearing a martingale collar (control collar NOT a correction collar). She is also wearing a SportDog Model 825X. Each dog's equipment in the board and train program is customized over the 2weeks to ensure that they are sent home with the correct electronics and individualized settings. The goal is to gain focus at the lowest static stimulation with the training tool and to get the command completed at a high level (99.99%) around high distractions offleash.

Thanks for watching!
