Re: dogs and horses

[kerrie and stan]

i cant find the sticky about the criteria levels. can you put a link if you know were it is, please.

so with the training away to a marker, say i use a towel, i should start training the away at home / garden then move it to the field with the horses. using the same towel as the target spot so that he gets the idea?
i also use the away to get him to go foward in a walk, i guess i should stop that and use a different cue instead?
when he goes away to the mark, how would you reward that behavour? if i say ‘good boy’ or anything he will then come back to me.

i think i need to take the patience i have with the horses and apply it to stan :canadian: and slow down so that he has a chance to learn everything.

so until i get the criterias up and he is starting to get the idea, should i keep tieing him up when i need to do anything with the horses? i would leave him at home but i am ussualy out all day so that wouldnt be fair on him
