Peter - Harness Info & Options (Y Shaped Harness)

Why to stay away from harnesses that Titan as the pups could pull. Why avoid certain designs of gear. Are we creating negative associations? Lack of oxygen or pain/fear/coercion does not help your puppy learn faster. Pups are a moral! Equipment/year should not suppress behavior (learned helplessness). Loose leash walking practice without the leash to start. Find it with recall. Reinforce him where you’d like him to physically be. Feed on the side you’d like him to be on. What is your learning/training history with your pup? What your pup’s jumping could mean. Look into the  resources from prior separation training/separation anxiety materials sent along any prior email. Make notes to see where/when we are successful versus not doing so well. What to do to help your pup when scary things may be nearby. Ways to build feelings of safety. Feed flat palm to avoid fingers being mouth while practicing. Make sure to be flexible in your training plan and lower/up the criteria as needed to be successful. Training is not linear – think progress not perfection. Find it and benefits/usages. Thank prevention, management and redirection. Off cue to get off of you, counter, couch for example. Down cue for lying down on the floor/ground. Teach behaviors that are not conducive to doing two things at once. Stay practice. Are we a fair and safe teacher? Why use a target for your stay at times, bed/place. Avoid pairing scary/negative things with being stationary, like in a stay.
