Auggie is one of my board-and-trains who returns occasionally for board and training maintenance. He is a high energy fellow who needs lots of exercise, as well as reminders of his training. We train dogs to learn the rules, then we reinforce them to maintain them, no matter if it’s their first time here or their tenth.
Schnauzer Auggie’s excitement was overwhelming, and when we started to play, he swiped my arm hard unexpectedly. That stung!
Our daily ball playing sessions then included a constant reminder for him to back off when I picked the ball up from the ground. He acquiesced quickly as the reward for his good behavior was my throwing the ball for him, which he loves.
Follow and enforce the humane training rules with dogs and they will oblige the good behavior to get what they want.
