Bradley's 4th Training Session

Hello,

Time for Bradley's 4th training session. The main purpose of this session is the "down" command. Like "sit", the "down" command implies "stay". That is why you see Justin, the trainer, trying to distract him while he is down.

The best part of learning "down" is then we can do doggy pushups. Doggie pushups are having the dog alternate between "sit" and "down". This may not sound like a lot of exercise but it will wear a dog out. Really good for rainy days.

Bradley already knows down but like a lot of dogs he does not like doing it and he certainly doesn't stay. He will do it, particularly if you have a treat, but he does it grudgingly and doesn't stay down long.

Take a look at how he is doing in the video.

We always work with Bradley at home between training sessions. I am sure I don't do it enough.

I am not sure what we learn in Bradley's 5th session. I will let you know in my next post.

See You At The Bank,
Bob Caine
