I continue to give him two 20-30 minute walks a day and he is making such great progress with heeling and his reactivity to other dogs. When I need to get his heeling in check I use the \u201cfollow\u201d protocol for a while and that does the trick. Everyone at the SmartPak office is so impressed with how he doesn\u2019t react to other dogs now, even when they react strongly to him. Of course, I use his prong collar to give him some corrections leading up to the encounter, but they\u2019re mild I don\u2019t have to use many of them. He\u2019s really getting the hang of it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also making progress with his off-leash training. Last week I did an exercise with Molly Heermans and her two dogs as distractions inside a roller hockey court. We practiced having Finn off-leash inside the court and worked on recall as she walked around the outside of the fence with her two dogs. Then we brought them inside the court with him and worked on recall some more. He did really well with it! He\u2019s smart and really does want to learn. Steve and I just have to be consistent with our training.<\/p>\n<p>Then today I took him for his first off-leash walk in a while. Molly and I took our dogs to a large conservation area where they can run off-leash. I had Finn tow his 30\u2032 long line just to be safe. He did awesome! He did really well with recall, and many of the times I didn\u2019t even need to use the Dogtra. Only once did I have to crank it up high when he and Puu got really far away from us and weren\u2019t listening. We didn\u2019t have any other dogs there as distractions since it\u2019s a rainy day here, but I\u2019m glad we got a solid off-leash walk under our belts because now I\u2019m more confident to go back there when he will likely encounter other dogs and work on recall with that level of distraction.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll continue to keep you posted on our progress. I\u2019m attaching a picture from our off-leash walk this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again!<\/p>\n<p>Cathleen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you again for your help with Finn in your Walk Guru program.
