all right listen it's a snowy day in the ,
bluegrass believe it or not it's the end ,
of spring break and it doesn't look like ,
it at all it does it looks like the ,
beginning of winter break you know but ,
what we're out here today is uh you know ,
just exercising some dogs and you know ,
one of the things I've been getting here ,
lately there's a lot of questions about ,
how I get such a high compliance rate ,
when I take this dogs out in public you ,
know I've posted a few videos of me ,
taking dogs out progress reports for ,
clients and stuff and you know people ,
like Stoney how do you get such a high ,
compliance rates why the dogs why do ,
they pay attention so well you know I ,
mean I'm not doing anything special in ,
particular when I go out but what ,
happens I'll tell you where that comes ,
from guys is I have so many dogs here ,
and every day I let them out and I let ,
them run and carry on and play and so ,
over the course of time what happens is ,
these dogs they kind of just get used to ,
playing with each other and then when I ,
walk out the door it's a special thing ,
so it becomes special to get noticed you ,
know and so it really works super well ,
hey rogue what are you doing ,
like say take this dog here for instance ,
I'll just pick her out of the crew she's ,
out here running around you see as soon ,
as I called her she comes running over ,
here alright now look I'm gonna give her ,
a treat put her leash on her now the ,
funny thing about giving this dog a ,
treat right now is she left food in her ,
breakfast bowl and so you know you say ,
well Stoney she left food in her ,
breakfast bowl why does she you know why ,
is she so ready to work for food outside ,
because guys what's going on here if ,
she's not working for food she's working ,
for my attention once I bring this leash ,
out if I if you do your obedience right ,
when you bring the leash out the dogs ,
aren't looking at the leash like the ,
leash is getting in the way of doing fun ,
stuff they've been doing fun stuff so ,
the leash looks like a way to be the ,
special one it's like being a student in ,
class you know you're the student you ,
know the answer so you want to raise ,
your hand so the teacher will single you ,
out right so when I call your name out ,
here in this group of dogs I'm singling ,
you out as a dog and then you get to run ,
over here and be the center of attention ,
come on rope you can be the center of ,
attention for a minute so time and time ,
again over the course of the day I'm ,
walking up and down this hill ,
and so as I'm walking up and down this ,
hill I'm playing with the dogs letting ,
them play with each other but every so ,
often I pick one of the dogs out like ,
right now I happen to pick rogue out and ,
you'll notice Rogue is hanging out with ,
me and being very compliant while these ,
other dogs are running and playing ,
that's because at the moment like ,
hanging out and playing with me is more ,
fun than doing that stuff with the dogs ,
because she's the center of my attention ,
right ,
she's the teacher's pet at the moment ,
and so I kind of walk and as I'm walking ,
down the hill we're just working on ,
general leash compliance you know she's ,
just kind of being good and and doing ,
some relatively loose leash walking ,
which is cool and these other dogs are ,
running around and play it and being ,
crazy right now as I get in closer ,
proximity to my exercise with small ,
challenges course come here dude then ,
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start ,
working on speed and precision right so ,
I've got these cones sit and I'm gonna ,
ask rogue not only to be good in a ,
general sense but to be good in a very ,
specific sense and I'm gonna use the ,
cones to measure my progress sit if I do ,
this stuff right then I'll get good ,
compliance it'll be cone dog Stoney ,
that's what I'm after let's go now when ,
I give the dog a treat sit the feeling ,
that the dog gets is a feeling that far ,
surpasses the value of the treat itself ,
right sit it's the same kind of feeling ,
you used to get when you were in class ,
and you would raise your hand let's go ,
and have the right answer sit in front ,
of the class good ,
now as I walk onto my course here it's ,
really slippery and you know how I'm ,
always talking going on and on and on ,
about you know environmental ,
socialization well today this is a wet ,
kind of snow so all of my equipment is a ,
super slippery you know and so I have to ,
be very careful and had to be very ,
patient you know and some people will ,
say Coco hey some people will say well ,
Stoney why do you do it when it's ,
slippery ,
well because look I don't have control ,
over the weather and you know these ,
people that own these dogs ,
they might be on vacation somewhere and ,
if you're on vacation somewhere and you ,
have your dog you don't want that to be ,
the first time the adults ever been ,
walked in the snow do you right so what ,
we say around here is you don't practice ,
swimming when you fall out of the boat ,
you practice swimming in anticipation of ,
maybe falling out of a boat so that's ,
the same thing with your environmental ,
socialization wait very nice they say ,
that's real slippery so I went ahead and ,
told her kinda to chill out a little bit ,
there easy now this board is long and ,
slippery so we're gonna go real easy ,
over it ,
very nice very good dog up up easy ,
weight very nice easy up now iWatch ,
gonna put it up here on this table and ,
I'm gonna make her stay sit stay and ,
you'll notice look at this table this is ,
no wet snow guys this isn't any fun you ,
know what I mean to put your bottom on ,
and you again people say well Stoney why ,
do you make them do that well cuz look ,
guys we all in life are tasked with ,
things that we have to do even when ,
we're uncomfortable and you might as ,
well get your dog used to that at an ,
early age now watch this so rogues been ,
really good I'm gonna say okay ruk ,
right in him I'm gonna let her off work ,
now I let her off work specifically you ,
know so that she could go do what she ,
ever she wanted but see what she did she ,
stayed there because she doesn't want to ,
lose my attention she doesn't want to ,
lose being the center of my attention ,
right so when you're working your dogs ,
you want to gain a high rate of ,
compliance guys make sure that they look ,
at working for you under high levels of ,
distraction as leading to something good ,
for them right and then you won't have a ,
lot of trouble going out and having your ,
obedience seem like you're making lots ,
of hard rules and keeping a dog from ,
having fun all right good luck.
