Labrador Training Tips
Stop your dog’s mistaken thinking in only a few moments and permanently cancel a behavior. Correcting it takes the entire lifetime of your dog. So you can solve behavior problems permanently quickly, by correcting your dogs behavior problems each time they occur, for all time.
When you get tired of correcting, whining, nagging, and arguing, start reading this manual again, follow the directions, and change your values. Change is difficult but worthwhile.
In our example, as you prepare to exit the room, create a sound just before your dog reaches the exit. Instantly praise him. Continue to leave yourself, and if he continues to try to exit, make the sound behind him, and praise him again. If he leaves the room against your command, just repeat the command “go in the other room good boy”. This will be treated as a new request, to be carried out according to how things are working out.
In other words, you must pay attention to the last instance in which sound was used, and try to insure that in the next instance, the sound comes from the appropriate source, i.e.: if your dog went into the “other room” on his first request without sound, perhaps strictly as a coincidence, then, after you’ve tried to correct him from leaving, that instance would require the application of sound with your next request, which in actuality, would be his second request to “go in the other room good boy”.
To summarize “go in the other room, good boy”; second request; “go in the other ROOM good boy”; third request “go in the other room, good boy”; Suppose he accomplished your command. When he violates the command, your next request to send him back in there would be his fourth request, requiring sound on this command. Here’s the rest of the big secret: The events never starts over, but always continues from the last time in which the sound was used. It’s important to remember the last occasion in which your dog was given a command.
Let’s say, he’s out in the back. Call him in. Should he fail to respond, reach for the can, and repeat your request with one hard shake to create sound. Naturally, your dog will respond on this occasion. So next time that he is out in the yard, -even if it’s the next day, and he does not comply, remember when it was you last needed to re-enforce the command, using sound.
You might think, “gee, wasn’t it just last night, that I asked him to come inside, and I needed to make the sound on my second request for him to come in?” Did the can need to be tossed past him. Follow through, and make the right decision. If you can’t remember the last instance, don’t stress on it.
Do what you can and set yourself a time to do the Family Pack Leadership exercise when you plan to re-train the conditioned reflex to “come”. It’ll take about 10 minutes.
