Back to Striper

June 16, 2003 The first night of dog training class with the electronic collars. Striper's first experience wasn't too happy since it was discovered, by her leaping in the air reaction, that another unit triggered her collar at the same time as Ralph's. Poor Striper! This was quickly remedied and a subdued Striper finished the class and was very obedient (and glad to go home) where it's safe!

Dog Training

Adjusting Striper's "zapper" collar	Montgomery and Madison at the ready	Linda with her standard poodle	Dave with "Spinnaker", a Chesapeake	At the "free" command, it's a three dog circus -- so fast the picture is blurred	"Sit" (good doggie)
Heeling	Down your dogs.	Explaining how to correct this situation	Turning around technique	The instructor uses Quigley, her year old black lab, to demonstrate	Quigley is very obedient
Using the long lead, the instructor calls Quigley, who immediately responds	Quigley gets a treat	Now the class with their dogs on the long leads	Montgomery gives Ralph a body slam -- this is not the desired result.	Let's try that command again...much better	Time for a treat
A dog handlers conference	The "come" command on the long lead	Striper obeys willingly -- doesn't want to take any chances on getting zapped again!
