Doorway manners
...I should probably call it "threshold manners".. doesnt matter if its a building door, crate door, car door, gate, property boundary, etc...
There will probably be a much more in depth post on FB in the future. But, I wanted to post my thoughts for y'all here first!
Doors, and access in general, are such a huge issue. Its not just good manners, its safety, its security. A dog bolting out a door could end up costing the dog its life. And more and more, im seeing dogs coming in with zero respect for boundaries. Not even a glance at the handler before pushing through.
Teach your dog some basic control. You shouldn't have to say sit at every threshold- they should be thinking on their own. If you need instructions on teaching it- theres an article or two under the training tips on my website.
Video 1: no cue. No stay. No wait. Nothing. Just control and education that you dont pass a gate without permission
Video 2: in the first video, they were right there. You could question whether I gave a stern look, or hand cue off camera (i didnt). What happens when they discover the open gate and im 30' down the driveway? Nothing. Nothing happens. They wait.
