I’m new to this forum and have a quick question about using praise/treats during the social isolation period with your dog. From the ‘Establishing Pack Structure’ DVD Ed mentions that the dog will only get marker training as a privilege and during the first few weeks you completely ignore the dog.
I’m confused when teaching pack behaviour manners (e.g. sitting at the door before going for a walk and before going outside).
Do I use the ‘sit’ command and then mark and praise when the dog obeys (obedience training), or do I just expect respect being the pack leader and wait until the dog sits without a command and without the praise for complying? Aren’t good pack manners genetically expected?
My understanding of this process with an "adult" dog is there is no training during this period - simply you establishing/re-establishing yourself as the boss.
Can you give a few more details about your dog and situation - how long you've had her, her level of training and what types of training she has been exposed to, etc.... Any details will help folks give you feedback.
No worries.
I've had Klose since 16 wks from a breeder here in Australia.
I started off with puppy class, then proceeded on to ob classes. Everything was going well up until 9 months when he started lunging at other dogs on walks and then this behaviour started happening at the ob classes. I ended up finishing the ob program and started researching the web for similar cases and that’s when I found Ed’s website and haven’t looked back since.
