I think it’s really interesting for me As a dog trainer to work with so many Dogs and see That every dog is unique as long as you Take the time to connect with them it’s Not about the breed it’s about you as The trainer and your relationship with Your dog sadie still gets a little Distracted but she’s only eight months Old watch how patient he is we’re gonna Walk from that distance over here Because when i get into her area she’s Like oh i want to play but see how hard He’s a big guy but he’s down there Eye-to-eye with it you see that lots of Love lots of genuine interaction right There I think they need to practice leave it a Little bit though They’ll get there in a second abby gets A little reluctant of strangers normally She’s very guarded when i come up so We’ve made progress on that that’s why Socialization is so important for a dog Especially when they’re under eight Months i think abby’s only five months Old six months six months six months old If your dog is responsive to play use it I mean a ball can be like a hundred Dollar bill to some dogs let me see Leave it over here So i’m looking for watch me and leave it We’ll do both here at the same time so i Can look at this as i come around oh

Excellent job sadie Very good can you make it a little bit Harder for him put that right in front Of her Look at that that’s what i’m talking About very good Eight months old guys i mean it’s it’s All about communication You don’t need to pull your dog away to Teach them that you connect with them we Talk about the training bubble a lot See that look at that line right there Boom that’s a laser beam you know i’d Like to see ooh yes It’s like an ounce Of turkey in front of bixby look at her And i mean you talk about a connection These guys have such a strong connection Love watching them work together that Looks awesome it’s very good and huge Training bubble between her and pearl in Other words she’s able to get really Good communication from way up here and Her dog’s way down there That’s good I like to see a solid 10 second sit stay With duration and distance uh at this Point in the class so let’s see if They’re able to do that in this Distracting environment look at this Eight months old on the first day she Was all over the place and they were Like what do i do when your dog Looks at the distraction but then looks

Back at you That’s your cue that they’re paying Attention Oh she’s thinking and there’s that look Beautiful chihuahuas have a stereotype For being very difficult to train but i Can’t i mean she’s absolutely immune to That stereotype and that’s why we Shouldn’t stereotype so much i’m really Big on that Because every it’s all about the Relationship look at that you see the Look Yes right there that’s good that’s it And that’s the moment you wait for it See the body language here very clear There’s no Breakdown in communication here Wait for the look Boom Right there i mean you know that’s what We built on again only six months old Six months old here already like showing Major progress on stay with distractions Beautiful bixby is a boston terrier Italian greyhound mix how about that for A combination bixby come here There’s turkey in my hand here look at This makes me biscuity i got better Turkey Good girl what’s talking about man I mean that’s tough good girl Like i say traditionally these are Things that you wouldn’t even approach
