TRIPLE CROWN TIPS
Both you and your dog are learning about communication. When training, concentrate on nothing but training, and it will soon be second nature to you and your dog. Always be patient with your dog and yourself during this learning process. Walk perimeter of place. If dog breaks, press and hold stimulation button while guiding dog with leash. Release stimulation button, then praise and reward. |
