My phone battery is almost done…need to charge for a few minutes. See you at 8:50 if you can make it! Link is on the calendar event!

Good morning! Just a reminder that I'm here on Zoom for Open Office Drop-In Q & A to help anyone sort through training / behavior questions. This morning I'll be here until about 9:15/9:30. The join link can be found when you click on today's calendar event!

This might be a fun training opportunity. So I recently got into disc (frisbee) golf and there is a course behind my house. I took Tigger tonight and played 3 holes. It was wild to say the least. The process is throw the frisbee, walk to it and throw again. I have him sit and stay but the violence of throwing a “toy” really gets him going and he takes off for about 10 feet but comes back. I need a hard stay. Are there tips or drills for stay command in the wild, especially when you’re throwing something the dog wants to go after?

I decided to take off the rest of the day today with my boys while they're home for Spring Break, so I switched our Live-Stream Training (from today) to next week. I also switched our Open Office / Drop-In Training Support, originally 8:00-10:30 tomorrow...now to 7am - 8am tomorrow. Thanks so much for your understanding!

John, we were recently traveling to my daughters townhome in a new area for Maya. She slipped off leash and took off running (playing to her). We chased her for 20-25 minutes with one close call in a high traffic road situation. Thankfully the car stopped when he saw me waving my arms. She ultimately stopped to chase a groundhog that she jumped and we were able to tackle her and get her back on the leash. The "come" command was not working nor kibbles. We did not scold her once we were able to get her back. She went about a 1/4 mile and in and out of house of a neighborhood. I am really interested in ideas of thoughts when this happens. We also increased training immediately with the "LONG" leash. We did not have the e-collar on at the time either. She is fine and I look forward to getting you back out for our final two sessions.
