Hello Board, I received my DVD Basic Dog Obedience yesterday and I just have a few questions. First of all I must comment that I really enjoyed watching and referring back to the DVD. My question is when , according to the theory used should you move on to a new command/training exercise? Is it after the correction or distraction “phase of training”? Or is it after the dog is doing a sit stay, down stay whatever the case may be. I also would like to know what thoughts any one has on doing “puppy bite work” in conjunction with obedience. I don’t mean at the same time just as another fun activity for the dog to do at a later session. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The important thing is training is to not do it for too long - 1.5 to 3 minutes per session 4 or 5 times a day is 100 times better than one 15 minute session.
Focus on the sit, down and recall with your marker training. We also teach the touch command - where the pup is trasined to come touch our hand with his nose. We use this to redirect the pup from doing something we dont want it to do.
With this said we dont wait until a pup is trained to distraction before moving to a new command. What we dont do is add duration to an exercise when a pup is too young (I.E. a down stay lonver than 3 or 4 second swith a pup is too long)
Prey work, when its done properly, is not going to hurt a puppy. What hurts them is if the pup is put into defense (does not understand that this is a game)
