Dobry Pies (pronounced - dobrey PS)

[ZEPING]

Arther!!!!!

LOL

[MonElite]

In Polish Artur :p

His comands were

Noga - heel

Siad - sit

Fuj - out (yuck)

Bierz go - get him

and Dobry Pies - he was saying it ALL the time

It was just so home like, I think next dog I will train in Polish.

Mind you Furia has some comands in Polish and majority of every day stuff at home they understand in Polish. As I said my dogs are bilingual

Now I throw my dogs into the car forcefully yelling TRUCK and then I say Dobry Pies. :p

Rediculous, need to hang around with some people that I normally train with and get back to normality

Whenever I watch SG dvd's I start saying cookies instead of treat.

Lots of talk of 'building value' 'reinforcement line' and 'placement of reinforcement' here from SG

[Staff'n'Toller]

I always try to do the motivational toy naming stuff but I can never make it sound the same... :D

I have started saying "Cheata" after they break position- and that's only said once on the One Jump DVD!!!! Not sure how it rubbed off. Plus it's reinforcement for breaking- all bad!!! :D

Now that I have found myself saying 'give dat to da mama' when I take the toy out of my young dog's mouth I know that I have truly made it as a SG junkie !

[PAX]

Now that I train with Vickie, I say 'stop' to all dogs in my care..haha. 'Stop' command seems to work really well with dogs when you need them to stop.

[Vickie]

Stop is a funny one & yep it just seems to work even with dogs who don't know it. It seems to mean about 5 things to my dogs, but they seem to be able to put it in context each time. I wonder if it works b/c of the unconscious body language we tend to associate with the word?

After watching some Caesar Milan I really like his claiming the space motion and use it all the time. It works with people too!

I also use "Eh" a lot as an interrupter, again I think I got this off Caesar. I heard my husband say it last night & smiled to myself.

Another fan of 'stop' here - works really well with my Rory at least in normal circumstances - and you're right, Vickie - seems to work even though I haven't consciously trained it.

And Eh (and Eheh) - or the variant - the good old dog training command "Oi" is useful too - but I didn't get those from Cesar.

...the good old dog training command "Oi" is useful too ...

LOL - "Oi" is so universal. I use it on children who are doing things they ought not to, as well . Sometimes I think for them it is the shock of a stranger saying it. Hhhhmm .... wonder if I should use the water spray bottle on them if "Oi" doesn't work.
