Hello everybody so this is my first attempt at a training session with Daniel
the first three weeks he was here really it was all about him adapting adjusting
he had fleas he had to have treatment for that he had to be neutered and had to wear a cone he had
an ear infection the poor thing so it's literally yesterday that we removed the cone and that he had
his stitches out so I thought today now it's about time he's been here three weeks he had the time
to adjust rescue dogs three days three weeks three months rule three weeks he starts to get
comfortable here have his routine but I never trained him the only training I did with him was
walking on leash obviously and that's pretty much it and everyday life but other than that I didn't
do anything he didn't really react initially he didn't want to take any food from me now he's
taking it so I have no idea how he's gonna react to the first training session and what we're gonna
be able to do with him so let's see first I'm gonna I think give him a few treats for free
when he doesn't know the treats he never had before I give him hot dog because usually
they love it but initially when he usually first treats he has he's like very suspicious
it doesn't not really going well at the moment sure it's not
trying to build his focus slowly see how that goes
he's giving me eye contact trying to motivate him a bit
giving him a few for free because he's not really motivated at the moment
now he knows that I have treats and he's interested
giving him a bit things for free
because he's not really engaging at the moment but as I said that's the first training session
sometimes he's very shy of humans and sometimes you do have dogs like that absolutely normal
it's always a good way going slow
I think that's it for today that was a first training session he's quite
uncomfortable you can see his tail but he did a great job didn't you Daniel
we actually gonna play a bit because I know that he loves
even the game doesn't work I think that's way too much already for him
I just wanted to show you a quick real life training session first training session with a
dog that is very shy and not really engaged and scared of things that's how it goes
it's a great thing if your dog actually gets in the habit of checking in with you
because then he will check in with you whenever he's not sure of anything
trying to get him more engaged that's good get him moving
he's a bit more engaged
still very tough to make him what about a sit what about a sit you really want that hot dog don't you
he's so funny when he wants food he
shakes his teeth I thought at the beginning it was because he was
scared or whatever but it's not he does it when he loves food
I wonder how many days we're gonna it's gonna take to ever sit
it's a challenge it really is I won't give up I love challenges what about a down
well done I don't know if you can see that
he just did it because he was on the bed obviously but if that's the way he learns it that's good
i'm gonna try the down again
we will get there it's a different method but it will work
you probably didn't see that did you but he did it
I think chicken is the trick with this guy
i think i finally know how to talk to him
I'll see if he actually does understand that now
can you do a down without the lure
oh god ok we're not there yet for the sit but we are there for the down aren't we Daniel
at least in one week we managed to have a bit of attention a bit of movement a bit of leash
walking a bit of control management self-control and we have a down it's far from perfect but
we are getting there and as you can see he's very shy he's very shy aren't you very shy yes you are
