Ball reward

[GypsyGSD]

im a firm believer in watching dogs interact they use body language to comunicate eye and facial expressions are all there they do use vocal but there bodys say a lot more it is us who train what we wan tand put into words and they do it to please not nessacary for us but for what they gain the reward ball chicken etc our dogs read our body language more than we notice so to take away the words will get our dogs really thinking xx

My god both yourself and stuart are so correct, lastnight I was completely silent. I didnt speak to fritz at all.. but even during play when his back was towards me at times, he couldnt see my eyes.. I just dropped the tyre, he made eye contact... wow

when fritz comes downstairs.. he usually follows me and slowly comes downstairs behind my legs.. this occasion he went before me.. I froze & turned around.. went back to the top step.. he made correct position then we went downstairs.. with fritz directly behind my legs..


when we got to the bottom I gave him loads of love..
our time meaning mine and fritz's special time on the couch together.. he lays between my knees.. it really was a special time lastninght with silence.. same as with the supper treat... just pointed it was fab..
but he really was quite audioable with his chewbacca impression..


Ive tried your way regards the ball... nothing improved as yet ..

Hi carl so glad you can see where we are coming from lol if you mean my post about the ball this takes time to train and will not happen straight away its a step by step process and each tage has to learnt then put together xx

[super D]

sometimes i take Dalton for a walk and dont speak at all, he really knows my boddy language, whether it be sitting by curb waiting to cross, or alyering my pace slowling down to get near a crossing etc, very interesting to watch..

thanks stuart... we do have that time religously Fritz & I but with the silence it was golden. only problem i hjave is explaining to my nieghbours that im doing it the dogs way when raising my right leg....

But silence along with a high level reward and wow... he'll search for what im looking for!!

Yes fan Sarah, thats some lovely pictures you've added too.. on your signature

im still doing the ball bit..

altrhough with his tyre i just wont handle it, I know he wants me to so much to initiate a tug of war.. I want him to place it in my hand... i wiggle my fingers hand upside down.. then as he's made closer movements towards me with the tyre I wriggle my fingers some more...

little Sh!t

But the looks between us appear to be so intence lmao..
god help any woman that decides to take on the challenge lol

[GypsyGSD]

lol i like the wriggle fingers bit but all you have to do is put a finger in the side of his mouth towards the back its easy keep me updated xx

[GypsyGSD]

just to add with the tyre get him to sit in front of you ignore everything else till he does and it it in his mouth hold your hand under his chin and do above post dont make any attempt to get it off him otherwise hope this makes sense lol xx

[GypsyGSD]

just another thought try a ball on a rope which you can use to bring him into the sit xx

[Kira]

lmao ball on a rope??

on a bloody 100ft bungee lmao..

do I read it like this..

put my butchers gloves on and push a finger into the back of his mouth to open... then take the ball then say!!! HAND!!!! HAND OMG HANNNNNNNND YA SHIT ????

im going to try make a video lol
