Today was Moose’s 18th day here with me for the Boot Camp training program. He is doing awesome here! He is here to work on obedience training, off leash reliability, manners, and dog behavior training using the electric dog training collar. The first video below is of his 10th day here with me, and in that video you will see he is still on leash with the e-collar. Usually at that point in the training, most dogs are already working off leash. That is what he really struggled on the most. Anytime I took him off leash, he would bolt to the nearest shade (even early in the morning, or late evening). He is just so lazy and wants to be cool at all times. It was almost like he couldn’t take any heat at all. I kept working him, and pushing him to get off leash, and just about a couple days ago he figured it out. It was almost like a light switch clicked on in his head and he finally figured out what he needed to do to work off leash. Ever since then, he has been doing amazing! I am really hoping that he can go home this weekend.
The second video below is of today’s training with him. Today was his first day off leash with another dog as a distractions around. I think he did great! Before we started filming he did try to play with Daddy for about 30 seconds, but then he focused on the training and did great. I’m so proud of this boy!
