Nice vid. I like the way Elvis keeps going even with the other two dartling around at very close range. Nice dogs Al btw.
He's doing great by the looks. I thought he was older looking at his OB........good progress for sure. Pretty big dog for 10,5 mths too right? It's great to do OB with a dog that learns quick. It's so much more fun.Al Curbow said:Thanks Hil, he's 10.5 months old in that video, he's coming along nicley, he learns quick so it make training simple,

during the motivational OB Al, if he does something wrong and you don't use corrections, how do you get the mistakes out then? Or is it more playfull than anything else?Al Curbow said:Hi Hil, we do a lot of motavational ob, he's young so i haven't started any corrections yet. He hits the sleeve really good but it's still just a game. In a few months he'll be on the suit, i hope he does good,

So do you only use the e-collar Al. Tell the truth I have never used one. I just use choke chain and leash to start and never have needed or ended up using anything else. My dogs react good to the choker and if they don't listen, find themselves a** backwards in the air :lol: They know so don't try anything :lol: My own dog Elza always walks with me off leash( although of course I always have it with me in my pocket) and as long as I have a ball in my hand she couldn't care less about anything else. :lol:Al Curbow said:I've been putting the ecoller on him lately so he gets used to wearing it, that's how i'll start correcting him, but he's a good dog so it won't take much. I try to keep the corrections in line with the offense,
AL
Well good luck with him Al, hes a beaut! :wink:Al Curbow said:Hil, on elvis i started with a flat coller then graduated to a prong and then he'll be on the ecoller, then he'll be perfect. He has to have an ecoller on so i have a way to correct him if he ever got loose in public so he needs to learn the ecoller and that's just how it has to be with him,
AL
Me too. And now I see an excellent example of distraction, too!Hil Harrison said:Nice vid. I like the way Elvis keeps going even with the other two dartling around at very close range. Nice dogs Al btw.
