Thank you ! Great article. My choc lab is almost four and still needs reinforcement. Just today I was waking hi on leash when a neighbors little dog, off leash came running up to Mo with his frantic owner behind him. Mo was a good boy and stayed calm and in a sitting position until she retrieved him. Again, good article.

Brilliant instructions! If only the dog school we’d attended had known these instructions I’m sure we’d have progressed far better. And if only they hadn’t compared us and let each person and her dog progress at their own pace. Instead, my very immature boy and I (who was very unskilled in dog training) were forced to “keep up” with the rest of the class, resulting in broken stays and his learning that there are many rewards “out there” (interesting smells to sniff, other dogs to play with, etc, etc!).
