Pro Tips - The Secret to K9 Success!

#2 Just GET OUT!

This one drives me crazy.  I hear people telling people to do this all the time.  And I see people doing it all the time with their dogs.  

If you're in a sticky situation with your dog... GET OUT!

​

DON'T: ask for a sit and focus and try to hold them in place while another dog walks by. 

Remember ... not ready for the drug corner!

THE SECRET: Just Get Out ... ASAP

 Yup, you're going to come across situations where your dog finds something sooooo distracting they just can't focus on you.  This could be a leaf on the ground or another dog barking and lunging at them.  The idea here is, don't try to "take advantage of this as a learning opportunity!!!"

​

WHY?

​

Because it's been proven that once dogs are in a state of Over Excitement - THEY DON'T LEARN!

​

So, Just get out.  Turn and walk the other way, cross the street, go home, whatever it takes.  

Along those lines try your best not to give your dog a bunch of commands either in these moments as they don't learn AND THEY CAN'T PROCESS unless you've taught them to do so in this state.

​

Then LATER (72 hours) after this, break the situation down into smaller more manageable chunks and tackle those so your dog learns how to respond to you in those situations!
