Ugh I love black shepherds. My next shepherd is going to be a black one. Those shades are uber cute.

What a beautiful bb! <3

Welcome! So glad that you are here!

I'm warning you, it never gets better.

No wonder you don't wanna train my dog 😭😭😭

Are you a professional trainer?

Remember that exposure and management is still training. When you realize every interaction with your dog is teaching them what behaviors you will accept and which ones you wont, it will completely change your relationship and communication with your dog.

For high drive dogs, if you teach the ecollar correctly, stimulation will refocus their attention on you so you can do a reset and use a command after. R+ trainers assume we are using ecollars as punishment to force the dog to do something, but using an eollar correctly is about redirection...

Lets not even talk about all the opossums murph has happily brought to me as a trophy... (they all lived)

Come train my puppy im lazy 🤣🤣🤣

The thing about this kind of training, is it is constant. It's not just sessions, but every time they potty. No pulling. Reinforcing recall. Making things a game. Praise. Yes, puppies need 5 minute training sessions, but those are just the focused ones.

This is exactly what we did at board and train but with only ecollars, flat collars, and long and short leashes. Amazing write up. This is exactly how to train a dog.

I'm using leash pressure on my 15 week old... i lightly pull up on the leash for a sit and i mean LIGHTLY because she's a poochon and i'm afraid of fucking up her trachea. I don't start ecollar training until 6 mos minimum full stop. I also have a lab puppy that pulls, so our leash sessions...
