Labrador training in practical steps

Labrador training in practical steps

Teaching Any Command to a labrador In Minutes. Just as a child steps into the street without being aware of the meaning of the blast of a car horn, and continues on his way in oblivion, it takes experiences to become conditioned. I'll bet that when you step off of a curb, and hear a car horn blow, your head spins both ways at once, as you jump back, looking for the impending accident. The difference is conditioning.

Make a time for practice, away from your labrador. It's best to use family members if available. We are going to develop timing. Tie some tin cans rinsed clean and dry. Insert 6 pennies in each, tape the top can shut, and crush the sides of the other cans, to make them square and stop them rolling, and so avoiding noise.

Be careful not to make a noise with the cans. If you should accidentally do so, praise must accompany the event. This will tell him you are not reprimanding him, and that he should ignore it. When more than one dog is there, each labrador must be individually praised and given direct eye contact and non-physical praise.

You should Praise with Sound, with one exception,and that is, when a behavior is being addressed afterwards. When you discover something that occurred outside of your presence, it's the only time the sound should be presented without verbal praise. To teach your labrador the "come" command, first create a phrase, and select a "key" or "cue" word in that phrase.

Your next command will be accompanied by sound. It would be treated as a first request. The first time of any phrase you use, must be presented without sound. If your labrador responds properly to this first request, "your-dogs-name-good-boy," praise him straight away.

Any response, the twitch of an ear or tail, a shuffle of a foot, a brief glance, any reaction at all, to any command, always requires spontaneous, instant, continuous praise, for however long your dog is thinking about your request, (even if he's thinking of leaving!) Continue praising constantly until your dog comes all the way to you, even if it requires that you move backward as you continue to speak praises and coax, even plead or beg, (but not to repeat the command phrase).

Don't think that he will always perform the way you want him to, because we are not yet at the conditioned response level.

Now we need to test out how well we trained him. So get comfortable and have your labrador nearby. Now ask him to come to you as described.If he repsonds praise him and let him go. Now call him a seond time to test his repsonse. - 20511
