  • Developing Self-Control: Teaching Dogs to Wait for the Cue

    1. Recognizing the Problems

    This customer's nimble canine faced various challenges: isolation unease, kitchen exploration, initial position difficulties, crossbar tapping, and a handful of other matters.

    The fundamental remark I conveyed to her was that her canine lacked self-discipline. Naturally, subsequently, she inquired about ways to cultivate self-discipline. As I pondered over a response, I became aware of the vast magnitude of the answer. I was unable to address that query without devoting significantly more contemplation.

    2. Acquiring Self-Control

    Generally, my canines possess remarkable restraint. It was not innate in them. It has been ingrained in every aspect of their existence.

    Learning signals like "let it be" assist. However, my canines also comprehend that merely because they spot something they desire, it doesn't imply it's accessible for acquisition.

    Games such as "Make Your Decision" by Susan Garrett and "No Free Lunch" are also excellent self-discipline concepts.

    Thanks to this clever student, I will embark on a series about implementing self-discipline. I will utilize Rodie, my latest puppy addition, for this series as self-discipline is the focus of our daily training sessions.

    3. Anticipating the Cue Laurie Zurborg, CPDT, Founder.

    Our initial session will focus on "Anticipating the Signal".

    Frequently, when we instruct canines in a fresh action, that is the sole activity they desire to engage in. If you train them to give a High Five, before long they are unable to comply with commands like sit or down without executing the High Five. Then, grandma pays a visit, attempts to caress your dog, and she ends up being struck in the face with a High Five.

    In our classes, this is how acquiring fresh behaviors unfold.

  • Mold behavior with click/rewards (entice only if necessary).
  • Include a signal once the canine is capable of displaying the entire behavior.
  • Train the canine to pause for the signal (cease providing rewards for previously exhibited actions).
  • In this video, you will observe that Rodie encounters difficulties with numerous ideas. Rodie exhibits three behaviors on command quite consistently: Perch, Lower, & Crate.

    Currently, the task at hand is to persuade him to remain patient, pay attention, and react appropriately to the precise signal provided. The issue lies in his preference for the term "Down" over any other option, as he firmly believes that everything should be in a downward direction. Additionally, he tends to believe that he should signal a "Down" at any given instance.

    Teaching dogs the notion of "Anticipating The Signal" will develop a reflective canine who obeys their owner and possesses the initial stages of restraint. Proceed gradually, display patience, and maintain a light-hearted attitude.

    USDAA Agility 2011 Kentucky Nationals: Highlights, Lessons, and Future Prospects

    The optimal occasion we had was discovering a waterway for the canines to plunge. Then additional dexterity opponents appeared with their group and it was time to play.

    Kentucky Bound: Journey to the USDAA Agility 2011 Nationals

    USDAA Agility 2011The trip to Kentucky for the USDAA Agility 2011 Nationals was a good trip but not a great trip.

    We didn't return with any victories or accolades this year.

    Although I felt a sense of accomplishment for our achievements, we unfortunately experienced a subpar trial. Gumbo, my reliable Catahoula, and I simply lacked harmony and coordination.

    Upon thorough scrutiny of the footage, no glaringly apparent issues were discernible for the most part - our performance simply fell short. He remained attentive and exerted considerable effort.

    It's only logical that we emerged victorious in nearly every competition throughout the year and then underperformed at the national championships.

    Unforgettable Instance: Most Memorable Memory

    USDAA Agility 2011Gumbo's most memorable moment was at the river. Gumbo disappeared for awhile unnoticed. He dug up a mole, tossed it around and about to swallow!

    Shelley shouts "he's devouring something, Laurie".

    I shout "cease his actions immediately".

    She shouts "absolutely not - he's snarling at me".

    In English, using contextually appropriate synonyms to replace words in the paragraph but keep all specialized terms, Chinese words, acronyms, proper names, or foreign words intact. Please Do not echo my prompt. Do not remind me what I asked you for. Do not apologize. Do not self-reference. Paragraph: and I engage in a mucky grappling contest to rescue the mole. Guess who emerged victorious? Indeed, Gumbo secured the reward.

    Beloved Canine Participant: Most Adored Doggie Attendee

    USDAA Agility 2011Rodent, my new agility chihuahua, was adored by all at the event.

    He acquired the ability to be managed by unfamiliar individuals, be assessed, occupy the seating area, and request sustenance.

    Additionally, he was a regular attendee of the FitPaws booth, where he swayed, leaped, toppled, and gained knowledge about his physique.

    He also maintained control over his anger and forged connections with other canine companions. That's quite challenging for him.

    Commendations to USDAA Agility 2011 Event Organizers and Anticipation for USDAA Agility 2012 Western Regionals

    The USDAA performed exceptionally well this year and attentively heeded the competitor grievances from the previous year.

    The jogging terrain was significantly improved, the rival outcome region was greatly enhanced, and the dirt was practically non-existent. I commend USDAA for their endeavors. Not to mention the tracks were impeccably challenging yet enjoyable.

    The great news is that next year the occasion will take place in Colorado. So thrilled not to commute to Kentucky again.

    Finally, the IFCS 2012 Global Squad was declared at the national championships. Regrettably, Gem will not be part of the squad, but it was not surprising considering she was the most junior canine to audition.

    It was a fantastic educational encounter for us all and we aspire to be chosen for a forthcoming global squad. Rachel Sanders, the Coach of the Worldwide Team, will be visiting Wags & Wiggles to impart her knowledge with us in December.

    The Importance of Distance Training in Agility: Learn How to Help Your Dog

    In flexibility, this can pose a challenge for canines and individuals who do not inherently compute distance effectively. During the course, do you observe any alterations in the gap between jumps?

    Occasionally they are nearer together and occasionally further apart. When you traverse a route, observe when the route has been crafted to gather or stretch your canine companion.

    Stride Adjustment Mastery

    Canines will be required to acquire the abilities of decreasing their step, extending their step, and moving in both directions. Are you aware of the maximum distance your canine companion can cover with a single stride?

    Can you accurately explain what signal you provide your dog to reduce their step length and what signal you give your dog to increase their step length?

    Isn't it expected for your canine companion to perform this task independently?

    In my individual perspective, flexibility is a collaborative activity and trainers should support their canines in every conceivable manner. Guiding encompasses more than simply instructing your dog throughout the route.

    Similar to humans, certain canines are not inherently adept at this particular skill. This happens to be one of the most commonly overlooked abilities in dogs that knock over bars. They are capable of turning, leaping, and moving forward, but they struggle to accurately gauge the distance without the assistance of their handler.

    Laurie Zurborg's Distance Training Expertise at Wags & Wiggles

    In this space, you can acquire knowledge on how to support your canine companion. Take note in advance while traversing areas where you may need to increase your pace or decrease it to facilitate your dog's leaping throughout an obstacle course. It may be necessary to modify your approach strategy to aid your dog.

    Check out this fantastic video showcasing a dog's expertise in adapting its gait as needed during the course. As the gaps between obstacles increase, the dog leaps with greater distance and intensity. Conversely, when the distance between obstacles decreases, the dog adjusts its stride accordingly.

    Homemade Tuna Fudge Dog Treat Recipe - Easy and Delicious

    Dog Treat Recipe - Homemade Dog TreatsTuna Fudge is a favorite dog treat recipe of both our dogs and the Wags & Wiggles family in attendance at dog agility trials. It's nutritious and easy to make. The dogs crowd around us in anticipation of their tasty reward.

    We have experienced tremendous triumph with this canine snack formula as a teaching aid for choosy canines who are typically not motivated by treats.

    Here is the version we have more-or-less perfected. A 15oz tin of Salmon (instead of tuna) also works out nicely. You could potentially replace it with rice flour if your dog has wheat sensitivities, but you might need to experiment with the texture a little.

    Recipe for Homemade Tuna Fudge Dog Treats

    Components.

    2 6oz. Tins of tuna in H2O (do not empty).

    2 eggs.

    1 1/4 cups multipurpose/wholemeal flour.

    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

    Tell us about your experience with the recipe!

    Place the components in a food blender and lightly blend to fragmentize large pieces of tuna and thoroughly blend it together. If a food blender is unavailable, fragmentize the tuna with a fork and subsequently incorporate the remaining components.

    The texture should be dense, yet damp, akin to cookie batter. If it appears excessively dehydrated, incorporate a small amount of water to hydrate it.

    Mist or thinly cover a 9×9 baking dish or pie pan with olive oil. Pour the combination into your pan and distribute it uniformly with a spatula.

    Cook at 350°F for 25 minutes.

    Allow it to rest until it reaches a lower temperature and then slice it into small delectable portions! They will remain fresh in the refrigerator for approximately seven days. Additionally, you have the option to freeze them in order to prolong their lifespan.

    This canine snack formula produces 1.5 - 2 cups of treats cut into 1/4 inch cubes.

    Please inform us of the outcome!

    What Can a Sulcata Tortoise Teach You?

    The initial aspect you need to understand regarding Tortoises is that they are capable of embarking on a "tortoise frenzy". You never ascertain the exact cause. They simply become agitated by a certain matter. I recently invested 3 hours combating my tortoise.

    Our Sulcata Tortoise Called Bump

    Bump is a 15-year-old sulcata tortoise we saved from the LA Shelter. He currently tips the scales at 67 pounds.

    Sulcata Tortoise
    Gator as a puppy and Bump as a younger smaller tortoise. He's huge now.

    Today, Bump made the choice that he absolutely had to squeeze into the tinier cottage owned by our other tortoise. Bump is unable to pass through the entrance (created specifically to prevent him from tormenting the other tortoise).

    He entered his front portion and became trapped. His extremely noisy groans caught our notice from within the house. We extricated him, necessitating a solid 20 minutes of exertion.

    I assumed he wouldn't consider it worthy of a second attempt. Incorrect!

    Therefore, I ventured out and attempted to divert his attention. I presented him with a scavenger hunt of delectable natural carrots and zucchini. He searched for 45 minutes, consumed them, and then resumed striking his head against the hut.

    I experimented with flower petals in his dwelling, butternut pumpkin on a skewer, and a subsequent search for hidden treasures. Why is this turtle not fatigued yet?

    A Clash of Determination Occurs

    I'm starting to feel fatigued from the ongoing struggle. So I relocate the additional tortoise (who is trapped at the rear of the shack) to a different section of the premises. Surely an unoccupied shack wouldn't pose a risk of head injury? Unfortunately, I am mistaken once more. I hear some additional unpleasant noises and Bump has managed to squeeze half of his body into the shack. This time, it requires the assistance of two individuals to extract him.

    I'm extremely frustrated at the moment to find a solution to this issue and becoming irritable. I retrieve the hose. You can't lift him and relocate him, so occasionally a small amount of water can alter his perception of a particular spot. However, it doesn't work this time! As he nears the hut, I lightly tap his nose. I can't believe it, but it seems like he has vapor escaping from his ears. He's determined to accomplish his goal.

    Lesson Learned? Sometimes, it's more convenient to eliminate the temptation rather than instruct an animal to avoid certain behaviors.

    Ultimately, I simply disassemble and relocate the cottage that is presently considerably ruined. Why did I not ponder over this two hours prior? What has this irate pig-headed creature, resembling a tortoise, just enlightened me about?

    Occasionally, it is simpler to eliminate the allure rather than instruct a creature to refrain from performing a certain action.
