Blue heeler dogs
When the dog decides to bark, it is critical that at that instant it is immediately rewarded with the helper trying to flee in prey with the dog chasing and getting a non-threatening prey bite. blue heeler dogs Pitbull-dogs. The dog gets a fleeing prey bite(out of and away from the blind)when he has barked at the helper. It's also very important that when this moment of insecurity happens, the handler remains quiet and away from his dog. This work is between the helper and dog and nothing to do with the handler. blue heeler dogs Dog costumes. If there is a problem here its not up to the handler to step in and give his dog confidence by praising his dog. The solution either come from the dog or the training must be backed up and the dog must go back into confidence building exercises in prey drive work (i. e. blue heeler dogs Puppy-obedience. . more off leash chases etc. )Just as importantly, it is a mistake for new helpers to stay in the blind and expect the dog to bark and bark for an extended period of time. The key to this training step is to immediately react to the change of drives and the first bark. Timings are critical. One or two barks and the helper pops out and try's to flee AWAY FROM THE YOUNG DOG. The first stages of this work requires some decisions being made concerning the level of maturity and level of prey drive development in the young dogs. The dogs must be mature enough to handle the stress of defensive work. While some dogs with good working genes and a sound foundation in prey development can handle the stress of early defense work at 12 months, others may have to wait until 18 to 24 months. Some German show lines and ALL American bloodline dogs can never handle it. At the beginning of this training almost every young dog will back off and act a little insecure. It a dog does this, the helper must watch carefully and have patience. On the first attempt, if the dog backs off and takes a few seconds to survey the situation, the helper waits a few moments (maintaining eye contact with the dog). The wrong move at this moment can throw the young dogs into avoidance and they will run. The good dogs are going to bark immediately or stand and bark after a few seconds. Should the dog turn and run, he is obviously ahead of himself in training. He needs more confidence, which is added through prey drive work. During this work the handler will notice the bark is a deeper more serious bark. Some dogs will get their hackles up while others may not.
