http://www.pamsdogacademy.com Just one of my training sessions with Bandit around toy's. He is really good around toy's when he knows the other dog, but I would like him to be able to focus on me when other people are playing with their dogs. So, my idea is to first train him to focus on me with toy's and no other dogs (well other than Isabelle, Splash, or Tug). Start with simple check ins, then increase the amount of time he can focus on me and give me eye contact. My next step will be for him to be able to focus around a person with a toy (someone that he knows at first). Then progress it to where he can focus around a stranger with a toy. Lastly, I would like to work around a strange dog with a toy at a distance, then slowly work our way closer to that dog. Now, finding the people to help me and the dogs to use. :) Have a wonderful day! Pam & Bandit
