Polgara's Shadow Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Hi al :D l, I had a small training win today and wanted to share with people who 'get it'. Soooo.. Vulcan my 11.5 month old SBT figured out what 'stand' means today! Yay Vulcan :p I've been teaching him, admittedley somewhat half-arse-edley since he was 3 months. Since we joined our local obedience club in August I've been training him a bit more intensely. And today.. he.. just.. got it! Every day except today I've I had the treat in front of his face..and when I say 'stand' got a half sit-stand and a very puzzled look. He was obviously unsure about what I wanted. But today... for the first time I got a proper level-backed stand! He did it a few times in a row so I thought I'd up the anti and ask for a stand-stay and OMFG he did it...several times! :p ;) And... and... and... I even got him to come (from the stand-stay) and stop in front of me in a stand! What a breakthrough! Now I just gotta get him to do it at at obedience club in front of the other dogs ;) Baby steps Polgara...Baby steps!

Polgara's Shadow Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks for sharing our little sucess with me Stand has been such a pain to acheive! Ages ago he nailed sit, drop, stay, off, no, leave it, come, sit-stay, drop-stay etc etc etc.. but stand, stand-stay, stand-come etc has been ridiculously elusive. He just kept getting confused and sitting, or trying to sit, or rolling over to wiggle on his back in frustration. So excited we have 'stand' I now have hope that we won't be the dunce of obedience class for much longer Bwaaahahaha Luke! :p ;) Edited October 13, 2010 by Polgara's Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
