Along with these commands you will learn how to use these positions to help restructure situations where your dog is currently difficult to manage. Any prior work with dog will be built upon! If your dog already understands sit/down that’s great! Focus will then be placed on refining communication and building implied stay with increased distraction.
At RYP we put a lot of emphasis on creating calm clearheaded mindsets for learning. A day of training may also include sessions of playing fetch, quiet time outside in the yard or just hanging with trainers on the couch in the yurt. For some dogs we also incorporate treadmill work to take the energy edge off before training sessions!
