I don't know what you are you are trying to say. Okay. You need to ensure your dog does not get so close to such dogs that he is going behind...
Hi @Roger @Jo Laurens can speak for herself and I'm sure she will clarify when the Earth spins a bit more and Jersey Island is basked in...
Hi @Birkes She obeys you when you have her own lead. Good. She ignores you when off lead. Keep her on lead until she follows your cues even when...
Hi @Jordan Maides Labs and Golden retrievers are well known for being mouthy. What you are describing is normal. There are several problems...
Yes that's correct. Below threshold means he is calm, loose body, relaxed ears, smiling mouth, tail hanging down loose, able to hear your cues and...
Hi @Roger Are you able to tell by just observing your dog when he is below threshold?
Hi @Diablo, In the so-called consolidation stage when you first begin proofing, you need to be rewarding the LAT routine every time you see...
Hi @Isaac's_Mom Could you also tell us what you have done to mitigate the mouthiness?
