DH has just demonstrated ‘magic hand’ with Red. He also said she will go ‘middle’ when he’s out walking her and acknowledges how powerful this is. He now takes a small pot of turkey cubes that I cook and have a supply of in the freezer on his early morning walk with both dogs. He calls then his ‘obedience cubes’ with a twinkle in his eye when he rattles them in front of Red before they set off. He comes back with his whistle round his neck and an empty pot. I am so chuffed. DH has a lovely way with the dogs and they adore him but I thought we would never see eye to eye over training Red. He never used a whistle with Sky or treats. He’s watched me and taken on board everything .
Well done to you! You have clearly been setting a fabulous example and your success is clear to see! *fist pump*
Well done and yes always a little bit harder to train OH. Especially when they want a finished article (so to speak) and it is not happening fast enough
