Obedience session with 10 mo. old

JCKinne · 11-14-2011, 09:02 PM

I'd love to get input on our obedience training so far. This is my 10 month old and we have just recently gotten back into training after taking the summer off while my mom was ill. I am super pleased with his progress but would love to hear any thoughts from the experts. Though he is my fourth GSD, he is the first that I will be training and titling myself. This is my first video posting so be kind!

Agree with the Very Nice comment. I am certainly not an expert, but am the owner of a 10 month old also. Your dog has the attention that we are still working towards. Would love to see more video as you progress.

The training looks good. I would try to give the reward (ball) immediately though. You make him circle, first then give the ball. Drop the ball from your 'armpit' so to speak. If you continue rewarding him 'forward' all the time, he might start to anticipate it and start forging ahead. Giving the reward in place or taking a step back and reward immediately will change things up a bit.
