When I was teaching Steve the flyball box we worked probably half a dozen times a day for a few minutes at a time. The same with the weaves. And contacts. He learns so much faster that way. I find myself having to count out x number of treats and when we're done, we're done because I do have the tendency to push too long.<br /><br />I don't train Luce every day at this point. A few minutes here and there. 15 minutes before bed several times a week. But it's been a really long time since I've worked on anything brand new and big with her.elegyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221427243067054351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-47710134101049546532010-03-12T19:54:23.249-06:002010-03-12T19:54:23.249-06:00I aim for three sessions/day.

If I have to open at the cafe, it's probably 2 as I have to be gone before 6am and training that early rarely happens.<br /><br />They almost always work for their dinner, but I try to split it up into two sessions. One when I get home and one around dinner time. On my days off I'll train more frequently, and I also have better plans.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197638620155711291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-72407949970455901932010-03-12T11:44:06.202-06:002010-03-12T11:44:06.202-06:00I have to say, I'm impressed by you guys.

I want a second dog, but I just don't know how I'd have time for two.<br /><br />Laura, I always knew you're an amazing trainer, but I can't believe how awesome your dogs are for so little training. Impressive!Crystal (Thompson) Barrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738188430244886019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-15407755082340579542010-03-11T22:27:41.082-06:002010-03-11T22:27:41.082-06:00The training schedule that I have for the dogs rea...The training schedule that I have for the dogs really varies depending on what my schedule is like and how I'm feeling. However, I do really like this training five times a day thing! I think this might be something that works better for Bess. She also hates the drilling and I think if I practice little things several times a day it could really help. I'm going to go for it!! Although I will add the caveat that we'll start on Mon. We're going to be out of town for a dog show and I won't have Heff with me.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563249254172457715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-74452895845822506522010-03-11T21:02:51.380-06:002010-03-11T21:02:51.380-06:00I wish I could train more!

I usually leave by 6am and am not home till 8:30 most days. <br /><br />So I usually train with their dinner the 3-4 evenings I'm home for it. But each dog goes to obedience and agility class once a week as well. When Vito was a puppy I still had double shifts but at different times so I forced myself to train twice a day with his lunch and dinner. The lucky pup got fed 3x a day until he was 6 months just so I could make myself train him twice a day.Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-41509565363380300382010-03-11T20:28:01.629-06:002010-03-11T20:28:01.629-06:00Well I have 4 dogs I am currently training.

We arent there yet, but we are trying to work toward patiently waiting while your sister works. Hopefully with multiple sessions it will click for all of them. Time will tell I guess.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383214875457202545noreply@blogger.com
