June, 2008 - Technique: It's Not Just Anything, It's Everything |
|
|
Those of you who attend our group classes know that TECHNIQUE and CONSISTENCY are the key elements that directly affect successful canine obedience training.
Dogs are “body-readers”, they immediately assess their environment and their situations; they read your body language, this is why proper technique and consistency are so important.
Master Trainer Clarke Inghram, will tell you time and time again:
"Technique and consistency are not just anything, they're everything".
The "Masters" and "Students" who attended our Saturday May 17th, group training session are highlighted in this month's newsletter. Every person in this group class has worked diligently and consistently to achieve positive results with canine obedience training.

Many of our "Masters" in this class are working with their "Students" off-leash.
 
As
you can see (photos above) our "Students" are very focused and are
listening attentively to their "Masters". This is what successful
off-leash obedience looks like.
Also notice
"Masters" come in all shapes, ages and sizes. It is one's technique that
defines successful obedience training not age, weight, etc... |
Technique
includes but is not limited
to:
- The way you hold your
leash
- The way you use your wrist and
fingers
- The way you step-to or
step-back
- The way you slide your feet to
touch
- The way you slide your left foot to
bump
After a successful group trainng session, there is always time for praise,
love and affection.
Proper
Technique leads to calm, composed and tolerant canine
companions:
