One of my group class customers opted to get her last three sessions as private sessions.  I visited her and her yellow lab today.  She said the dog was out of control but when I arrived all that I observed was normal puppy behavior.  She was havening a hard time getting her dog to do basic commands.  Upon evaluation of her technique I found several things wrong.  Her timing was off the correction was too delicate and the leash was usually tight when she tried to administer a correction.  We spent about 40 minutes working on her technique.

            Second appointment was with my service dog in the 5^th week of training.  She had begun complaining about her dogs’ behavior slipping as well so again I did a technique evaluation and found her timing to be off.  We went over the timing information presented in the first lesson and got her back on track. She noticed an immediate turnaround in the animals’ behavior which was not surprising to me at all.  

            My last appointment was group class 3 lesson.  Again the timing was wrong and I spent time going over that information again as well as teaching the down command.  We spent a good 30 minutes practicing the technique and applied it to the dogs.  The dogs all listened to me fine but knew they could get away with not responding to the owners.  It was an eye opener for them to see the difference in behavior when I had the leash and the all vowed to work harder at their timing.
