Learn / Refresh Core Commands at Home with theScoobylife Pack!
Can You Believe It?? We’re approaching the FINAL WEEK of theScoobylife Core Command At-Home Training Challenge! What has been the Easiest Command? What has been the most challenging?
Week 3: Loose Leash Walking / Heel
For Ella, Loose Leash Walk / Heel is super challenging – particularly if she knows her squirrel / rabbit patch is around the corner! For Luna, the only one she seems to be a “natural” at IS Loose Leash Walk / Heel! Luna also was spayed in the middle of our At-Home Training (she was on the radar before quarantine struck). So, we are definitely going to go back through ALL of the command diligently for another 6 weeks to get them mastered!
Week 6 Command is DOWN! This command has really become very important for Luna when she’s with our smallest, one-eye kitty, Lovey. Luna is so “boisterous” with all of her puppy energy – even though she’s over a year old now – that I had her lay on her stomach from the very beginning when she was with Lovey. Lovey feels much more secure because they are the same height with Luna on her belly. The interaction after that is soooooo sweet! She ALMOST does it automatically. ALMOST. Ella, on the other hand, has not clue why she needs to DOWN. 🙂
We like the following videos for helping train DOWN to our pups…
As always, remember to continue to reinforce the other 5 Commandsthis week during home and outside activity! Repetition becomes Habit!
We’d LOVE to see your at-home training photos and videos! Email them to mom@thescoobylife.com so we can share with the rest of our Virtual Pack or tag @theScoobylife on social media!
Happy Training!
