Breeder of Stoopy

Such as I already earlier have said, you must, before you will work for the appeal, you firstly wonder yourself if the education has succeeded or not. When the this case is not, it gets you very heavy at learning obedience exercises. The link between boss and dog must be well, the dog must trust you and accept you as a LEADER. However what kind of me exactly this way important is, you must establish you also effectively if boss and you must give you dog also the confidence, that deserves a dog. There can be no talk of so-called one-way traffic. When the young dog grows up, there generally comes a period that he always exactly something else wants do then its boss. In this period you must much patience have and the sticker wins, but that does not let be the dog. If you do not admit, you will see that you dog at a given moment will do everything for you.

Where you must watch out for are the following: try prevent that you go along do with the game of the dog. The dog can play, the more so if he is young, but not if he wants it, but the moment you permit it. More often to see you that when a dog is brushed, the dog always but tries in the brush or in the hand of the one which him bite that moment for brushing is. The head is always pushed away and you hear only foei and once more foei. The dog continues continue, he gets attention of the boss and plays its game. Much improve it is ignore the game, do not ignore the dog. The dog lets bite in the brush or hand, but continue continue simply with brushing and talks against him on a quiet manner. You will see that the dog will find its game no longer nicely and at a given moment continues stand or lie without he tries get the brush. He gets no re punch (attention) on its game and gives it up. Now you can reward him, but not too exuberant, because he will start again differently. A another example is for example if the dog continues bite always in the oar. This can be also a game. When you by when the dog plays a game and you this can has let stop by ignoring the game, need you him do not punish.

If you start with practise you realise in advance what the intention of a concerning exercise is and tries in advance for you yourself consider something how you dog will make oneself this clearly. I can give solution no side and klare, there every dog differently is and also differently reacts. Outside this you must learn will of course a dog nothing when these are sick and what I frequently heal still will say: Consequent and use no violence remains. When you have met you these conditions and everything in an intellectual manner will approach, best will succeed with learning appeal.

In this heading I will start with following to the line and sit, because this two important exercises are, that always in further course will return.

TO FOLLOW

I has already said (heading neck link) that I my young dogs the first 3 weeks, after I have taken away them at the fokker, do not correct to the line. I let firstly get used them to the neck link (fixed neck link) and give them the occasion as many pivots of outside the house of letting take. In these 3 weeks the one dog ran nicely beside me and from time to time between the legs andor for my feet whereas the other dog of the beginning to left or Right ran, up to that point the oar left it. After those 3 weeks the neck link has become almost too small and overstap I on slipketting. Once again I weet that everyone proponent is not of slipketting, but I with that none has personally experienced nasty or annoying impact.

Immediately after with the purchase of the slipketting beginning I following to my young dog learn, the dog is months then approximately 3 old. The first time goes I with the car to places where I (virtually) only am and where I can continue where run righteously and there the dog is not rapidly inferred. In the first place gives I to the dog the occasion its or its need of doing and then starts the exercise, follow to the line. Pay attention, however, that the slipketting sit well, this way that the ring of the lus, therefore not the ring where the oar to zit, to the lower part of the lus sits. This way the lus much goes earlier separately from strangulation.

The dog sits, stands or lies to the linkerzijde and the oar contents you your linkerhand. You must keep the oar short, but take into account that you the oar something can let celebrate, when the dog runs well beside you, so that the oar in boogje hangs. This is eventually the intention and the head of the dog must be then off your knee. When you have named the name of the dog, give you a short commando follow. Use always the same commando for a certain exercise. After follow start you run slowly and move the linkervoet always firstly. When you start with your rechtervoet, the dog doesnot can anticipate enough fast. If it is well, has got used the dog to the oar and he will walk along. You must look now however that the dog continues run left beside you, him no chance to left or Right to express districts give and slowly continue run. This costs best, however, what effort and at a given moment you will feel will in your arm. If the dog goes too much to left, can you be correct talk best with your linkerhand on your linkerbeen and continue ordinary against the dog. When the dog will draw, it allows you as long as it does not will becomes too a lot. By the strangling functioning of the slipketting he recovers less air and at a given moment he gas take and stop with appetites. The moment the dog draws no longer rapidly, you must give the reward. When you give him eat something, give it then with your linkerhand. Why with your linkerhand? If the bit sausage with your rechterhand you gives, you the chance runs that the dog goes already to your rechterhand and for your along runs the bit catch sausage. The dog therefore no longer runs left beside your. You find the terrible good of your dog which he is this way malignant, but ....... You do not reward then the dog for good behaviour following but for bad behaviour at following, , as it happens, that he will run for you. This is a found oneself manner of to reward. It is not terrible that the dog continues look at to your linkerhand, then he has attention also much for the boss and not for the surroundings.

It can also occur that the dog continues draw if crazy and attracts itself nothing of the strangling functioning. Then you can the dog with some, behind each other rukjes rapidly given (2 or 3) conduct. By giving some rukjes, weet the dog earlier what of him is desired. If you call back the dog in a time, he does not understand what goes happened there and rapidly, if not direct, with appetites. This last, giving small rukjes to the oar, you do not have do too rapidly. It is much improve the dog to be able reward (positive reward) if he stops him from itself with appetites then of punish (positive sentence) a form to give, because correct to the line is a sentence. Probable here the cause that lies I the slipketting uses, there I the dog now much rather can reward than when he carries a fixed neck link. If you reward yourself dog with food, give him then small bits flesh, cheese or something such because differently he has a full abdomen and is it no more reward.

No longer and more often than 2 time five minutes do this exercise for the first time. The dog leaves, if it is possible just as loose or plays what with him. When you can not let the dog run separately, exchange then of neck link and do him the fixed neck link for. During playing no commandos give. Afterwards of neck link change and repeat the exercise. Then stop. Possibly can repeat you later on the day and an other one. This must continue you minimum to that the dog no longer to the line draws. He no longer draws and runs he slowly beside your, then you will raise carefully the speed to ordinary are appropriate. If you this 1 or 2 keeps weeks full, the dog does not follow generally its boss and the boss its dog. When you dog swerves always but to left, you can the exercise best doing along a wall or hedge. The dog runs then between the boss and the obstakel and can no longer to left swerve.

At every exercise the commando does not have forget you give after you have said the name of your dog. At a given moment you do this automatically and the dog is immediately attentive if he are name hears and thus at hearing a confessed commando immediately is able react.

When you learn yourself following to dog to, come sit you of course with the question, what have do I do if I will express him? With slipketting express and thus until field let follow or with fixed neck link to the field to run and him let run where he wants. For me there is but an answer. I have started with learning following and let the dog consequently as from that moment follow. Or you thereby use slipketting or a fixed neck link, does not determine in fact. I am simply the slipketting continue use. What, however, important is, is that you do not forget take along the reward.

A another problem where gets experience you if you will let the dog out young, encountering other dogs is. A young dog wants will play to other dogs and probable more attention for its have type-enjoyed then for the boss. This does not allow however if you must follow dog, try infer him, but remain quiet. Come you on the uitlaatveldje, release then the commando, now just can will the dog with other dogs play. The dog does not release however to run the moment he wants that, yet firstly if he no full attention to the other dogs has more. You stipulate, as it happens, when and not the dog. You do not do this consequent from the beginning, then the dog will continue try this and I can you tell that you dog grows rapidly but also that he yielded every more powerful becomes and it more and more effort precedes you cost to keep the dog under control.

When the dog none or little attention to the boss has, it is skilful at that moment a sharp make turning and at your the dog with some small rukjes to get. In the first place must you make only sharp turnings to Right and later are possible this also to left. I have not done follow this last at learning the exercise, yet just the moment the dog knew what follows was. I consider making sharp turnings during following and also a turn for your own ash, as a continuation on following and then later returning.

TO SIT

The commando sits is possible in my opinion simultaneous or even already for the commando follow are learned. You can practise this easy in house. You will stand on the right side of your young dog. The linkerhand loves you against the front the udder and with the rechterhand push you softly the hindmost part of the back to the ground and at the same time say you the name of the dog and give you the commando sits. Because the dog is not possible forward, this stops you with your linkerhand, the dog, however, must will sit. Sit the dog then quote and give a reward. This exercise I have always as the easiest exercise to experience. The dog has this very fast.

If the dog follows netjes to the line and he weet in house what sit is, you can will combine these two exercises. You start then always with the dog left of you sit to let, near your linkerbeen. It can be that you dog does not will sit, whereas he does this in house, however, immediately. Do not panic and help him. The dog has now a neck link for with oar. The oar keeps you in the rechterhand and at the same time grips you with that hand also the neck link, so that you can keep the dog in bed cheek. With the linkerhand push you the back of dog softly to the ground, with once again the commando sits. With your linkerhand you must put down the dog also this way right possible beside you. Sit the dog then reward and himself rechtop will stand, but care that your dog continues sit. The dog continues sit if you stand name then its name and follow the commando. You anticipate to a couple meter and say the name of the dog, followed by the commando sits. Continue help the dog if he does not will sit from itself, at a moment given weet he, however, what is the intention and he from itself will will sit. If the dog does the combined exercise volgen-zitten well, you can the exercise quietly and slowly will perfect. You must, as it happens, ensure that the dog sits near at your linkerbeen and right comes sit with respect to the boss. At perfecting you can will use the third commando, , as it happens, foot. At the commando foot must the dog will sit run left beside the boss and cannot thereby for your along, but go to its place by means of your back. Try do this immediately this way. Also the rule applies, do not continue practise too long, you must ensure that you continue find dog it nice. It is much improve to repeat some times per day the exercises.

Some people say that it is badly for the dog if you him presses down with your hand and that it is better push the dog at the front of the muzzle to the back and with the other hand that to ensure the dog cannot run to the back. The dog will sit thus. I do not believe however that it is badly for the dog in the manner such as I it the dog learns. I do not push the dog with strength down, but do this only with very small strength.

As last I want notice that you must try give to a commando only once after naming the name as the dog the commando know. The dog has enough to one commando, at least there he must to has enough and if he does not succeed that commando, is you the person ensure that he does it, however. If the dog does at the second or third commando what of him is desired, I find that you cannot reward him. Because where you reward him then for? For ignoring the previous commandos or for the last commando?

I guess everyone to to will follow with the young dog puppycursus and possibly a continuation cursus. This is both well for the boss and for the dog. This would be also well for people, that in the beginning say, when their dog still young is, that them not necessary finding that their dog does immediately what they say and that the dog does not have follow during a walk complete gone neatly. It are frequently the same people who later, if their dog is full-grown meanwhile, annoying finding that the dog does not do what they of him desire, he does not listen totally and they are doodmoe if they have walked with him. Consequence is frequently that is this way let the dog out as little as possible and short possible. Here wrong is however made. You do not have practise indeed to the dog everything perfectly do, but care that you the vele years which will follow still, to relax and with much pleasure with your dog can walk will. You do not do this, do not say then later that you dog is, because you leaving the up to that point come and not the dog.

Allereerst mijn complimenten voor de duidelijke manier van beschrijven van de
oefeningen. Zonder ooit een cursus te hebben gevolgd heb ik mijn Noorse
Elandhond op exact dezelfde wijze, dus ook met slipketting het volgen zitten en
het commande vrij aangeleerd. 
Ik heb een klein puntje van kritiek bij de tekst van het zitten. Ik citeer:

Je gaat aan de rechter zijde van je jonge hond staan. De linkerhand houd je
tegen de voorkant van de borst en met de rechterhand duw je zachtjes het
achterste gedeelte van de rug naar de grond en tegelijkertijd zeg je de naam van
de hond en geef je het commando "zit".

Ik zou willen voorstellen om de rechterhand tegen de voorkant van de borst te
houden en met de linker hand zachte druk uit te oefenen op het achterste
gedeelte van de rug.

Zoals het in de huidige tekst staat sta je met je handen gekruist. 


Met vriendelijke groet 

Joop Harbers

Hallo Joop Zoals het er staat, zal het inderdaad niet lukken. Ik kijk naar de hond en de hond kijkt naar mij en dan ga ik voor mijn gevoel rechts naast de hond staan, maar in feite is dit links van de hond. Bedankt voor de opmerking.

Hallo,
ik heb niet zo zeer commentaar als wel een vraag. Mijn ODH van 14 maanden oud
kan redelijk goed volgen,echter ik moet constant zijn aandacht eisen anders gaat
hij zeker voor mij lopen. Aan zijn houding kan ik zien dat hij weet dat dit niet
de bedoeling is maar op de een of andere manier krijg ik dit niet gecorrigeerd.
Als ik een paar keer linksom draai en hem dominant laat volgen gaat het even
goed,volgt hij zelfs los.Maar na een (korte tijd)probeert hij toch weer vooruit
te lopen. Wat kan ik hier aan doen? 
P.S:
mijn hond is niet dominant,erg lief maar ook erg lomp.

Hallo Geert van Pelt Zo te lezen, heb je een echte ODH'er. Zij zijn namelijk erg snel afgeleid en zeker op een leeftijd tussen de 9 en 18 maanden. Je vraagt wat je moet doen, maar daar is zo een, twee drie geen antwoord op te geven. Ik kan je alleen het advies geven om de aandacht te blijven opeisen (praten, iets lekkers in de hand houden of een voorwerp op de borst houden)en de tijd steeds te verlengen met niet al te grote sprongen. In ieder geval moet je er voor zorgen dat je hond er plezier in blijft houden. Je kunt ook kijken of je je hond geregeld eventjes kan laten (uit)rennen. Zelf heb ik met het laatste goede ervaringen. Geert blijf consequent en laat je niet ontmoedigen, blijf oefenen. Gr Henk

Dag Henk,
Ik heb ook een vraag. Mijn ODH-teefje van ruim 13 weken leert supersnel en
enthousiast. Wat niet wil lukken is volgen. Dat wil zeggen: ze doet het heel
goed, alsof ze een volleerde, volwassen hond is, maar alleen tijdens het oefenen
en op de heenweg van het wandelen. Gaan we naar huis dan gooit ze zich in haar
halsband als een trekpaard in zijn tuig. Ik heb een keer geoefend met een
slipkettinkje. Dat gaat fantastisch, maar niet op de  terugweg. Alle 'foefjes'
zoals wegstappen, bogen maken, afleiden, rukjes aan de riem geven, helpen geen
zier. Zelfs lekkertjes interesseren haar niet als we naar huis gaan. Wat doe ik
verkeerd?
groeten,
Anneloes

Hallo Anneloes Ik denk niet dat je iets verkeerd doet, maar ik weet niet precies hoe het komt dat je hond trekt als jullie naar huis gaan. De meest voor de hand liggende vraag is of jullie steeds dezelfde weg terug gaan. Als dit het geval is probeer eens via andere wegen of paadjes naar huis te gaan en dit zoveel mogelijk afwisselen. Een andere oplossing kan zijn wanneer je gaat wandelen om in eerste instantie van huis weg te lopen en na ongeveer 50 stappen terug te lopen. Vervolgens weer van je huis aflopen en na 75 stappen teruggaan en dit opvoeren. Dit kun je dan enkele malen per dag doen. Ik weet niet of je slipketting hier ook voor gebruikt hebt, maar als je dit wel gebruikt, gewoon laten trekken, haar negeren, helemaal niet corrigeren (dus niet aan de riem terugtrekken) en zeer langzaam gaan en blijven lopen. Van de andere kant is ze ook pas 13 weken en ook al leert zij erg snel, ze blijft wel nog jong. Gewoon blijven volhouden en je zult zien dat ze mogelijk van de een op de andere dag niet meer naar huis trekt. Succes

Dag Henk, Dank voor je wijze raad. Ik loop, bewust, zoveel mogelijk verschillende routes, dus daar kan het niet aan liggen. Ik zal oefenen zoals je hebt voorgesteld en haar voor de rest jong laten zijn. Soms is het moeilijk om te bepalen wat je wel en niet moeten laten gaan. Dus dank voor het advies. veel groeten, Anneloes

hallo
even een vraagje mijn hond een duitseherder van 10 maanden springs steeds over
de hek,kan hem wel terug roepen maar komt dan niet terug,terwijl hij veel
kan,wat kan ik daar aan doen.want de mensen in de buurt vinden het niet zo leuk
wat begrijpelijk is,ze zeggen al dat ik hem vast moet doen achter thuis,maar dat
wil ik niet want dan wil ik geen hond als ik hem vast moet doen,  met
vriendelijke groeten diana

Hoi Misschien een voor de hand liggende oplossing, maar ik zou de omheining hoger maken zodat mijn hond er echt niet meer overheen kon. Dat hij niet luistert, is niet zo vreemd. Hij wilde tenslotte over de omheining met een bepaald doel en dat heeft hij op dat moment bereikt. Hij beloont zichzelf.
