Shep knows his basic commands very well.  "Come"  "here"  "sit"  "stay"  "leash"  "down"  are all commands we practice over and over and over again every day.   Sometimes with a treat, sometimes without - but always with high praise.  When we are out in the world, Shep wants to take stock first - see why I'm giving a command - what's up - and what's going on around us before committing to obedience.   How do we fix this?   That's our challenge right now.  Listen in and see what we're up to this week!

If you have any thoughts on how we could better manage our outdoor obedience training - please leave me a voicemail message here or you can always email me:  [email protected]

Thank you.
