We are off on our holiday on Monday and I am worried that no clicker retrieve training, stop whistle etc. will be affected and take a nose dive Is this likely or am I worrying over nothing as usual? : Thanks x
Re: No Training :/ Enjoy your holiday I don't think all your hard work will be undone, they might just need a few days to remember xx
Re: No Training :/ Well, Charlie got almost zero training for 8 months - I was just treading water trying to stop him going completely nuts. Now, apart from some additional undesirable behaviours related, I think, to frustration and being deprived of things, I'd say his training is exactly where I left it (so he's a 16 month old with the training of an 8 month old : ). He seems to have forgotten very, very little. So I'd say you've no need to worry at all. Enjoy your holiday! :
Re: No Training :/ It'll be fine, a break now and then is a good thing......for both of you! Enjoy your holiday! ;D
Re: No Training :/ All will be fine Helen , it really does no harm at all to have a break , in fact for some dogs, it can make them even more keen once it resumes , you go away, have a wonderful time
Re: No Training :/ Everyone else has said what I was thinking Helen. Don't worry he's learnt it he won't forget. ;D Have a lovely holiday, relax and have fun. ;D
Re: No Training :/ It will probably do some good! Known as latent learning, dog reflects when at rest.
Re: No Training :/ Phew that's a relief I almost didn't want to go but now I know all will be fine Thank you so much but you have to put up with me til Sunday ;D xx
