Difficulty, Distraction, Duration, Distance and Dog.

There’s a concept in dog training of the stages of trickiness of nailing some
of the obedience stuff:

Difficulty, Distraction, Duration and Distance.

Getting a dog to sit in a silent indoor room for 3 seconds when you are a metre away is one end of the scale.

Getting the dog to leave a treat in a noisy dog park, continuously, whilst you are 20 metres away is the other end of the scale.

As you’re training “leave it,” start at one end of the scale and work your way up - always adjust only 1 of the 4 D’s at a time.

I’ll take these please! DM incoming.

Yes. With a smart but stubborn rescue dog and others.

The Zak George video
on this and lots of patience is the method we used, as taught by our trainer. The video will describe it better than I can write it.

Top 3 tips:

1) Start easy
2) Remember (at least for a longgg time and even after she’s nailed it), you always need to be rewarding with something better than the thing they’re leaving if possible
3) Reward in the instant split second they make the first move to leave it.

As ever with dogs, this is something you’ll keep needing to fine tune over the years.

Yes. Don’t bother if they don’t already walk to heel.

Harness with leash clipped to the back is a must - anything else is dangerous for the dog.

Start slow and let them stop when they need to.

Use treats at least the first 10 times if you already use them on walks.

Once you’re both in sync, there’s no better way to up your running speed (if that’s what you’re into!)

Is the ceiling rose absolutely horizontal? I’ve found if it isn’t, then it’ll leak in the fashion you’ve described.

Could the Dakine Hot Laps Gripper hold a 29" tube, small multi-tool and tyre lever?

Looks ready for adventure. I wonder why it’s such a common dog name. In Barcelona and the U.K. we hear it all the time.

^Otto looks great 😊

We have an Otto too! We think part giant schnauzer, part Catalan Shepherd (and maybe part wolf).

Doesn’t think twice about coming on a 40km MTB ride.

This is now SOLD

Hi all

I had quite a few PMs. Have given preference to first one through. Will let you know in order if that doesn’t happen!

Cheers.

Ceviche, marinade meat, in a hot sauce.

Lucky you! No way we could have trained our adopted and very reactive dog without them (and the help of a great trainer).

Cold (snow!!) walk in Barcelona with this awesome squad.

Getting them to stay was a lot easier than I thought it might be.

The quality of the Ooni one is exceptional. We’ve had it outside uncovered for 2 years and it still looks brand new.

It is expensive but does seem to be a long lasting solution.

Our 28 year old PowerMax boiler is on its last legs and we need a new one.

Because of requirements for a new flue + scaffolding etc, a gas boiler is coming out at least £6,000+.

For that reason and a desire to not replace with another fossil fuel system, I want to replace with an electric combi boiler.

Any advice on this? It’s for a 2-bed / 2-Bath flat that normally has 1-2 people living it with Central Heating.

Amazing stuff.

Great stuff! Enjoy it and keep it safe!

We have a Shark and a dog. It’s awesome.

Malinois mix of some sort?

Sounds remarkably balanced if so given he was a stray.
