Teaching
the Sit to Stand
This
is a five part
series. It covers one of my favorite introductory exercises,
Sit to Stand, while using food and toys as motivational
training tools.
Before
pursuing training on agility obstacles we must build a
training relationship which consists of good instruction
and leadership on the part of the human, and good learning
skills on the part of the dog. These things come with practice.
I spend a lot of time 'practicing' in work/play sessions
with my dog that take place in and around the home before
agility obstacles are introduced. This video series is
intended to provided the viewer with a step by step look
at how you may begin developing your own training relationship
with your dog through the example of teaching the Sit to
Stand exercise. The lessons in this series apply whether
I'm starting a pup of 7 weeks of age, or an adult dog of
any age.
