Does your dog enjoy training? ... and How do you know? .Yes, They both do. Neka is always wagging her tail and spinning donuts in the middle of the floor when I say, "Its Training Time".
Patchs likes it so much that she actually tells me that she wants to train! I know this b/c I have a special jar of treats that we ONLY use for training. She walks over to the cabinet where I keep the jar and puts her nose up toward it (pointing at it)and gives me that excited "Happy Dance" ...
How often do you train?2-3 times every day
When do you train?First time out in the morning, After Lunch (noonish), Mid Evening.
Where do you train?Back yard, Living Room
How long do your sessions last?5 minutes usually -10 Minutes tops (they usually loose interest if it's more than 10 mins)
What do you do before a session to prepare for the session?Set a goal of what I want to accomplish for that session. Load my pockets with treats.
How do you end the session?I always end the session on a positive note with the dog doing the trick or behavior correctly and giving lavish praise for a job well done!
What do you do after a session to reward your dog for a good session?Both dogs like to play, so we play with toys or wrestle around. Neka also gets a quick "brushing" sometimes. She loves the brush!
