A place to learn how to effectively and fairly communicate with your new puppy. The weeks between 10 weeks old and 16 weeks old are microscopic window of time to layer in a obedience foundation
Here we are working on sit. She does like to turn her head and grab the leash sometime when we are doing sit. Do you have suggestion for this behavior?
Good stepping off on your left foot and the Sit mechanics are good.
When she grabs the leash with her mouth, do the Phoohey! and squeeze her muzzle. This mechanic replicates what her dam would do to her in the whelping box. If after 3 such corrections (the Phoohey! And each squeeze a bit firmer) then she goes to her kennel
