Some FAQs
If you show the treats to get your dogs attention the dog soon learns that it is no use to come when you do not show the treats.
By laying a good foundation with Listening Exercise and then train Recalls by using your finish word (“OK”), your dog learns the recall signal very solidly and you will be able to trust your dog off the lead in most situations.
Absolutely not. Your dog is telling you that he/she has a need and urge to use his nose. He will do that regardless of if we provide him/her with the opportunity do so or not.
By providing your dog with the chance of doing so in a controlled environment, on your terms, you bond with your dog, your dogs urge for doing it by him-/herself lessens and he/she will become calmer and more content.
All puppies bite. It is absolutely natural and they will grow out of it. Make sure it does not get a lot of attention for doing so.
