Michael Plum Webboard User Reg: 09-27-2003 Posts: 12 Loc: Offline	I have a GSD I am in the process of training for narcotics but I am having a slight problem with him recognizing obedience training time with play time He does really well with obedience for about 30 minutes than he takes off and starts to do the play time mode and I try to stay firm on the obedience and it just gets worse...so I get frustrated and stop all together and put him up for awhile. I was thinking that maybe he could be put in a vest during obedience time and the vest comes off at play time....Any suggestions Thanks Mike

Perhaps the dog is getting bored. How old is the dog? How long have you been working the dog in obedience? How are you structuring your obedience in regard to how often you are rewarding the dog? I try to make obedience with my dog just as fun as searches, building searches, and tracking with lots of praise and numerous toy rewards. I have yet to figure out a way to make obedience more fun than bite work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> http://www.NAPWDA.com

Especially with mentally and no doubt physically demanding tasks that would be involved with police and narcotics training. I would cut down the time with dog to 20, give her a break and the play. Or perhaps play first and then train after. Beware not to get her tired, or she'll have no focus what so ever. That goes for you too.
