Exercises with your Dog

And last, before facing the dog to a real situation, you will do short trips at the beginning. So much in this as in the previous stages,. You will have the help of an assistant that can exercise an immediate control over the animal, before getting to the point in which we have to drive alone in the vehicle with the dog. We must not forget that in the moment in which the dog responds positively to the work done with him, you must correspond with a verbal reward and occasionally some sweets. Likewise, you will have to reprehend him if the answer is not the desired: a verbal reprehension and if he breaks an order that he should have executed, repetition of the same.

As it is logical to think, you won't proceed to the next stage until there is proof of having overcome in a satisfactory way the previous stage. Three times a day per three days.

As an additional measure that will be applied since the first day, and independently from the response given by the dog, you will try -within the

possible- that we participate in any short distance journey which final goal isn't no pleasant circumstance as mentioned before or similar. There is a peculiarity which is after reaching our destination (supermarket, coffee shop, newspaper stand, etc.) the dog must stay inside the vehicle.
