JCDickens Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just one question. How did you train these animals to sit & down for so long a period? I knownthe answer is training, but what method?

eastofeden Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just one question. How did you train these animals to sit & down for so long a period? I knownthe answer is training, but what method? It comes down to patience, consistency, practice and making the time. Training is ongoing. We go to classes at least once a week (maybe more if I am preparing for a show). It is really the time spent...now I know I spend more time training my dogs than the average person...verging into "Crazy Dog Lady" territory. But with a little effort anyone can have a well behaved dog that is a joy to live with. As to methods, I have a whole toolbox that I use. Mostly what is called positive training...but I am not opposed to using gentle corrections. I also use a clicker depending on the behavior I am trying to teach. But beyond methods...it is the time and consistency. If you are trying to get a sit stay for example..start with the dog directly in front of you and only ask them to hold the sit for a few seconds. Once they understand what you want you eventually increase their distance from you and the amount of time you ask them to hold the sit. Patience is key...I could not tell you how long it took for me to get a reliable stay from Izze when I first started training. Like most Cairns she is a bit ADD Don't get frustrated, don't give up..don't get angry at the dog. Keep it fun for the dog. Keep it fun for you. Focus on building a relationship with your dog. Training is the best bond maker there is. 3 Quote Raise your expectations for what your Cairn can do....and try very hard to meet your Cairn's expectations of you.

JCDickens Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thank you so much! Dickens does sit/stay for nanoseconds. I just have to be more diligent.

Idaho Cairns Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I woke up this morning thinking about that picture of the Cairn running along side the Great Dane! It is a wonderful image that speaks volumes about the spirit of the Cairn--I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianer Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) I think I saw your car on our recent road trip! Cairn sticker, CA license, Salinas bracket? Think we were on the 205 but might have been the 5. We drove up to Oregon for the fourth of July holiday. The dogs loved the cooler weather. Hope you are well. The photos of your two are always a joy to see. Edited July 13, 2014 by dianer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
