My Lab was doing well. Recalled to the whistle every time until two days ago when he chased a pheasant! I’m going back to a longline as I know he will now attempt it again. I was still putting him on a longline around other dogs and he was recalling well around them. He was off lead when he chased the pheasant. I feel it’s my fault for not building in distractions in a more methodical way. I know a sausage won’t trump a pheasant but the other issue is, I’ve been rewarding with treats all along! Back to the drawing board. He’s 7.5 months old.
Look up beckman's dog training channel. Great practical training and shows untrained dogs. Search Age Appropriateness. Very insightful vids on age appropriateness that I don't see anyone else talking about. Working on recall, probably wait a few months and he's got several techniques.
hi mate am getting a working bred black lab pup next tuesday have got a 14 year old goldador but this pup will be the 1st one i have trained properly myself without other people interferring so want to do the best i can with him the intention is to go bush beating with him in a year or so and to make it slightly difficult i do have slight learning difficulties these are great videos i watch most days
Hi. great news that you are getting a Labrador puppy and starting his training straight away is so important. I have no doubt you will succeed. Thank you for your email and please keep watching. Our passion is our dogs and we are here to help.
Thank you you explain that really well. I’ve got an eight month old American cocker spaniel. I’ll have to go back to the long lead. Finding it very hard to get her focus when other dogs are around.
Several comments with people training dogs in this age range. He's just hitting adolescence. Look up beckman's dog training channel and search Age Appropriateness dog training. Very insightful stuff that nobody else is talking about. Working on recall, probably wait a couple of months. 9 months is the worst age of dog ownership. He's also got several techniques and demonstrates on untrained dogs. Good luck.
Lost credibility when you said "they didn't come like that", implying the dog previously followed the person around as a puppy. Anyone who's ever acquired a dog that wasn't a puppy has, in fact, had a dog that came like that, or a dog that doesn't think we're the most interesting thing, didn't follow us around, and maybe even had trust or other issues.
2:43 that ass wiggle was majestic my good boy sir
Fantastic advice.
Refreshing to hear that treat training is not used to build a working relationship. Good video!
