Work on the paw pad outside of home, such as in your driveway or on the sidewalk. Start with low distraction and slowly increase as the puppy succeeds. Windy days, areas with lots of people and dogs walking are huge distractions! Keep the session short and successful. Work on hand tethering in motion in and outside of your home.
Next class takes place in a location that is outside; such as a park or outdoor space with distractions that are real life. Everything in the past 5 weeks has been slowly building a solid foundation. Puppies will be prepped for going to regular meetings with older puppies at the final class. Behavior starts the moment they get out of the car. Paw pads will be utilized for positioning and impulse control. Bring the paw pad, and lots of high value treats such as Zukes and low value treats such as regular kibble.
