I have been CLEANING MY PERSONAL hard DRIVE--- THAT IS MY MENTAL DRIVE ALSO....
Somewhere along the line I wrote how to achieve a well trained dog--- and then a service dog--- in 52 weeks..
.i am firmly convinced of several things—2 of them have to do with dog training...
#1 of course spoon feeding—canned food one spoonful at a time gets attention and improves the pup’s impression of you.
#2 DANES ARE ABOVE REPETATIVE DOG TRAINING Methods---do something a couple times—2 or 3 is enough....and if they have it... move on and use that in general living conditions—like “wait” or “leave it”. To repeat 10 times will bore them and their minds will wander.. make it real.
52 WEEK.
PROPOSAL from birth to a “finished “ dog...
BIRTH—DRY LICK 200 WSHCLOTHS
FIRST MEAL... COLOSTRUM. ANTIBODIES
NURSING. NOT TOUCH HEAD
OUTGO. WIZZING ( zoo’s example)
Gruel start. Spoon help
Spoon feeding/lessons...
Puppy marches
Puppy march IN PUBLIC. to nursing home in Ipswich??
Individual intro.... fig 8 leash
Walk abouts
intro rocking horse and mannequin. Arena
Load. Car. Turn for tail out of the way
At this point your dog would be better behaved than most.
In public
Traffic
Curbs
Stairs
Elevators
Doors – wait
Air brakes ( Bentley warren)
Train noise/ ride—bev- sal... sal-bev.
Under tables
Food dropping – leave it
Shopping carts
Check outs
Small Children
Hospital smells
School bells. —Ipswich not masco.
Cafeterias comm college by ferncroft
indoor hockey – danvers
veterinarian visits. Nails ears
falls
wheelchairs
.....
Once you get the spoon feeding and puppy march down pat. Then do the rest by adding one topic a day... you would have a well trained dog by the time they were 6 months old---or as in Georges case---9 months darn near perfect.
Now would that work with a dog entering the system already out of control???? without the basic spoon feeding? I really don’t know... have not tried it yet... I do know there is a Tendency to dominate instead of train as in educate...... that makes a difference...big time. but some discipline is necessary... as in “ if you don’t discipline your children, the world will”
I can not tell you how many grandparents have asked me to train their grandchildren.... I prefer dogs..
