I'm new to this so I will do the best I can to shorten this, but alas training this dog has not be easy! My dog came to me two years ago from an animal shelter. He had been returned by two previous owners because they couldn't handle him. In his defense they were elderly and really weren't into training him. I believe he was on his way to being euthanize. I couldn't have that!

Goal: Improve leash walking
1) Practice using a Halti.
2) Take some solo walks without Gus and without the distraction of her friends running around off leash.
3) Do more throwing my Wait around with her

This Bouv coat is major work esp. when the boy likes to play in water and mud puddles.
-keep sessions brief and pleasant
-he does not especially like to be lying on his side or having his underside brushed so I will
reward quiet calm brushing with primo treats.
-I will stop while he is still enjoying getting the cookies, want him to want more!

August:

Keep working on "shake". Newman will now sit and shake (right foot only, but at this point I don't care) about 75% of the time and the other 25% he does the roll over and paw the air thing. I wait him out, he eventually gets up and behaves like a sane dog. I can gently hold his paw and he does not scream about 80% of the time.

My goals for Otter are to gain a bond.

Big one huh? I was wondering just how to work this.

I use the Halti one him because he self-corrects and looks at me. I try to treat as often as a hand is free to reach into a pocket to get a kibble.
I was wondering if there is a book that deal with creating a bond? Like Click to bond, connect with your dog, games?
