SAUSAGES
And for every correct action he does he gets a click and a treat…
This is all he gets for a treat, I think he thought he was going to get a whole sausage.
RUFUS is a trained assistance dog but has never been trained to walk on the lead without pulling as he was allowed to run in the local park.He has a good recall but this was no good where I live with heavy traffic always near on his walk.
The clicker is attached to his lead handle and as soon the lead goes slack I click the clicker and he gets his treat. Easy.
I‘ve put him in a harness to stop any damage to his windpipe but this will be replaced by a collar once he stops pulling which won’t be long as his training is working already after only two days walking.
To stop him escaping through the beech hedge I have trimmed the bottom of the hedge and added wire fencing which has worked well. The hedge will be allowed to grow through so the fence will not be seen.
And finally this is RUFUS after his training walk…
This is a lovely oil painting by John Trickett
