Understanding Your Dog's Sit: LWT #85

Learn, walk and train with me! We’re focusing on your dog’s “sit”. I’ll be giving you prompts during this episode for when you are with your dog so we can be dog training together. We’re also covering the 12 things that I consider fundamental for all dogs. Mastering the fundamentals will make anything you want to do with your dog so much easier.
In the episode you'll hear:
• Understanding your dog's sit.
• The criteria of speed and latency.
• Why to note how long it takes your dog to start sitting after your cue.
• Why to notice how fast your dog sits.
• Why speed and latency might be different in different environments.
• About rewarding for average or better.
