Murray - Using obedience practically around the house

Описание: We walk around the house with Murray, demonstrating essential indoor training commands. We show how to use heel for controlled movement through the house, place command for supervised downtime on a bed or mat, and the kennel for when you can't actively monitor your dog. We explain that the kennel isn't just for when you're away—it's also useful during busy household moments. We practice recall to get Murray to come, use corrections with the e-collar when needed, and demonstrate how to maintain these commands during real-life scenarios like answering the door, preparing meals, and going for walks. We emphasize the importance of always supervising when your dog is on place, and using the kennel to prevent unwanted behaviors like stealing food, barking, and jumping on guests. I demonstrate how to correct a dog that steals food and teach him the 'place' command as an alternative behavior. I explain that corrections should be followed by giving the dog a job to do instead. I also show the importance of maintaining tight thresholds when releasing a dog from commands and preventing him from bolting through doorways, as this behavior can quickly deteriorate if not properly managed.
