It was the course that changed him. He was almost unmanageable by the time I started and not my first GSD. &nbsp;You’ll get a lot from her online courses and when she opens enrollment I recommend signing up for the year long Recallers. We still play some of the games on rainy days or at the big box hardware stores and implement her training daily. &nbsp;Have fun.&nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puppy-training-suggestions%e2%80%a6#post-2366768 Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:42:29 +0000 Staysfit 2366768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a Canadian trainer, online, Susan Garrett. &nbsp;I binge watched her videos and really loved her method of working with dogs so I invested in a 4 month trial of something she calls “Home School the Dog”. &nbsp;She also has a program called “Recallers”, which was closed. &nbsp;So far I am loving it, puppy is learning, and I am following everyone’s tip to train recall as a priority. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puppy-training-suggestions%e2%80%a6#post-2365933 Sat, 20 Jul 2024 23:10:14 +0000 Style Fan 2365933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good advice, Brooklyn.&nbsp; The first thing I taught Garth after house training was recall.&nbsp; He is a pro now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puppy-training-suggestions%e2%80%a6#post-2365885 Sat, 20 Jul 2024 11:32:18 +0000 Brooklyn 2365885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the most important part of training is recall training. Especially if you ever plan to let your dog off the lead in a public place. Being able to recall your dog instantly can save her from injury. We do lots of it with any new dog. Start with small distances and work your way up. Always make it fun: reward recall with a treat or toy or game. It helps with bonding too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puppy-training-suggestions%e2%80%a6#post-2365615 Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:14:47 +0000 Staysfit 2365615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!

I like Pupford, Zak George and Kikopup.<br /> When we got Garth he was 9 months old and had not been trained. Not even house trained! It was during the pandemic so puppy classes were not running.<br /> I worked through the Zak George YouTube channel and it was so helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puppy-training-suggestions%e2%80%a6#post-2364830 Thu, 11 Jul 2024 11:59:06 +0000 Staysfit 2364830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next week we are adopting a female Standard Poodle puppy. &nbsp;She comes from a family farm, small breeder, who had two unexpectedly large litters (8 pups each dog so 16 total). &nbsp;The breeder has been doing a great job of exposing the puppies to noises, car rides, touching sensitive areas, cuddling and holding, children, adults, horses, cats, and lots of other interesting types of ground surfaces both stable and a bit wobbly, plus puppy has had some swimming lessons. &nbsp;She will be 9 weeks old when I pick her up.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with a puppy and I am seeking good online training resources. &nbsp;I will eventually bring puppy to classes once they have updated vaccines complete, but believe it is a good idea to train basic skills first in a non-distracting environment and then they can practice them in the class with distractions.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Any suggestions for online resources, training programs, general advice and tips? &nbsp;I prefer positive reinforcement without negative if possible.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div></div> </p>
