Thread: How to teach...

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by all4thedogs
I have a 5 month old Brittany, named Sawyer. I am hoping to do obedience with him, and least get his CD, if not more. We are in puppy classes right now, but they are very basic and we are using them mostly as socialization. He is doing very well, he knows sit, down, stand, come, shake, crawl, rollover, drop it, leave it. He is doing very well with heel, and stay too. I have a few more ...

I'd be careful about teaching a drop on recall to a dog still training for or competing in novice. You don't want to confuse the issue, and it can happen, especially with novice handlers/dogs.

yea, I can see teaching DB and jumps. But keep the out of sight stays and DOR lower key. Hey Tooney, what sort of competition obedience training books do you like to recommend to people? I'm always interested in new titles to read.

all4thedogs replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Thank you both. I will put off teaching DOR for now. I would also be interested in any/more books. This is my first competition dog, but hopefully not my last!

Here is the list put out by my dogobedience yahoogroup. It has some good ones, and then "don't waste your time one"... Some of the titles might be repeats, oh well. I added a couple of titles, too. And * means that the book is super great. Play Training Your Dog by Patricia Gail Burnham The Inner Game of Tennis by W Timothy Gallwey (for competition nerves, I'm thinking) Beyond Basic...

Wow! That's a great list. I have somehow developed a paralyzing fear of buying bad books, so I really appreciate the inclusion of do not buy. I'm going to have to get another bookcase soon. C:
