Olive 4 months is very sweet. Began training 5 weeks ago. Began training Eye Contact and Attention Skills and basic obedience commands with the proper response. She is coming along great. Best results are inside their apartment. Outside more challenging with the natural distractions.
She is performing really well now with "Go To Your Place, Sit, Down and Stay" when someone enters. Before we began training she was out of control jumping and barking in a friendly manner when a guest or the spouse entered.
The commands are: Go to Your Place along with a hand signal. Olive goes to her mat. Then the next command after getting eye contact is SIT, with hand signal, again once she is attentive the command is DOWN with hand signal, and then finally STAY command with hand signal. The Stay is at least 1+ minutes.
The guest enters and Olive remains in the down position until the owner goes back to her, praises her with voice tone and petting. Then Break or Release Command and Praise.
