If I had a dollar for every trained dog I saw at the Hartford Pet show I would not be able to buy my daily iced coffee with 2 shots of esspresso from Starbucks…why because the cost $4.00 and I only had 3 dogs with me….but there must have been 500 other dogs at the show..and not one of them was under control…I am baffled by what I saw….I mean good for me…lots of potential customers ….one woman was telling me about her dog and how she just got her CGC (canine good citizen) certificate, so I asked her how the training was going..she told me that she was still working on things…she explained that she still had a hard time walking her dog, it still pulls her down the street….I was shocked…she explained that it was a golden retriever and still a puppy…I asked her how old the dog was..she told me 2.5 years old…I laughed……to me a puppy is under 6 months old…maybe a year old…tops and your dog should be heeling on a leash before 6 months old if you get it at 8-12 weeks old…with my training system…we train puppies to heel properly in less than a week and then you have a lifetime of proper leash walking…the industry baffles me….<\/p>\n
we had so many comments on how are dogs where just laying there and not moving ..are they drugged, tired, beaten…give me a break..they are trained..its called the place command..and it does not matter that hundreds of dogs come walking\/pulling there owners by us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8 hours a day of Place…yep…they can do it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I lost my voice this weekend, spending over 8 hours a day with nonstop demos and talking<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the people who came to me for help has this large dog who pulls her down the street..it was going after a lot of dogs at the show..she had zero control over her dog…and then……<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
she still has to work on her technique, hand position and leash skills…but she is able to walk her dog…time spent with person..5 minutes…<\/p>\n
Quick movie of some distraction training with Kishmish who is from California and is with me for a 6 week board and train…Kishmish came to us very reactive to all things around him…he would have gone after this girl on the scooter just a few weeks ago…things with wheels he tended to freak out with…so we are making progress every day with him…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We talked to so many people this weekend..it was a very succesfull show…we will most likely get 6 or so new Board and Train clients out of the show in Hartford<\/p>\n
