Question
How should I speak around my puppy? I don’t want to dilute my obedience commands by using some of the cues or his name in conversation. How do you speak to a dog in order to preserve the meaning of commands?
Answer
I'd review the DVD you have, Power of Training with Food.
I believe Michael covers how to start and end a training session so the dog isn't constantly "on".
When we start with puppies we immediately begin using the words that mean "we're training now" For me that word is READY and after a session is done we let them know it's over. I use ALL DONE and I break my mental connection
with the puppy/dog at that time. I don't interact with them in a training way, I don't reward anything they offer at that time, etc.. They learn over time there is a cue for when to be tuned in and focused and when
to relax.
