Welcome to Week 3! The last 2 weeks have been busy. We are now going to introduce 2 brand new commands. Are you ready? Start by watching the videos first, so you know what to expect to accomplish this week. All your lessons are explained in great detail in the Resource File for this week. I highly recommend you print out the Resource File and keep it handy as you perform the commands this week.
This exercise is a little different than most exercises. We are going to use a method that is called “shaping”. We are going do this exercise in a few steps.
Lesson 8:
Teach Your Dog To Get Up Or Stand
Teach Your Dog To Get Up Or Stand
Now that your dog is consistently sitting or laying down, we also need to teach him a command to “Get up” or “Stand”. We are going to use a different hand signal for this.
Keep practicing these commands all week. When you feel that your dog is ready you can move on to Week 4!
