She's a Labrador

@@AudioFromJapanapparently labradors don’t actually have the thing in their stomach to tell them they’re full. Idk if that’s true but it’s all bout food drive. Good drive is different for every dog

Labs have great temperaments if bred correctly. They love food which is why a lot of them are obese. They love training and they have been working with humans for a long time. They are really great dogs! They have smelly farts though..

Glad you enjoyed! And wishing them the absolute best with their pup… sounds like they’re off to a great start already!

Google it? Facebook?

On assistance dogs uk’s website ( I think it’s them i cant remember) there’s a link to a different website that has breeders that you can contact and view in the uk

@@Local_gremlin2009 Thank you very much

No that program out of canada calls their assistance dogs Dog Guides and while they do train guide dogs, they also produce hearing, seizure assist, autism and mobility dogs

I’m fostering a yellow lab now and she’s a real sweetie! Not as smart as the shepradork though :)

Anytime :)

It’s definitely a blast! With Bandit I used the marker word “yes” instead of a clicker, but a clicker is definitely a great option. I’d start by focusing on basic obedience and socialization before moving onto dances and tricks. You need your puppy to be able to focus on you under distractions and in different environments. This is the most important thing. If you are already doing this, I’d work on building your dog’s food and toy drive. From there you can work on fancy heeling and teaching tricks. Lure your dog with food or a toy to do what you want them to do, mark with a yes or a click, and reward your dog. Once your dog knows how to follow the lure you can add a cue word and get rid of the lure. Once your dog knows the tricks and heeling you can start asking him/her to do more than one task in a row, building towards a routine. For this dance with Bandit, I started by teaching the last trick and used back chaining to add more tricks on.

Thank you! :)

That’s for sure!

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

So much fun and definitely a great way to meet mental and physical needs! I taught all of the tricks individually with positive reinforcement first. Then I backchained tricks together to make the routine. (In backchaining you start by teaching the last trick and then the second last and so on). You might find it helpful to back chain several mini dances and then chain them into one. If your dog is still a puppy I’d start by building up her food/toy drive and teaching her some tricks (just make sure not to teach any jumping ones until she’s done growing so her joints aren’t negatively effected). Make training fun and always end on a good note keeping her wanting more.

@@katie_and_the_bandit5681 Katie, I love this video! Fantastic. Do you always backchain this type of routine? Do you feel it's helpful to backchain, rather than forward chain?

@@kirsteenniven5111 Thanks and I definitely find back chaining a very effective approach for this type of thing. It is a great way to break a complex set of tasks into small increments so you can help your dog build on small successes. Working backwards instead of forwards helps keep the dogs eager and motivated to perform as they know once they reach the last trick they get their reward (and they also know when that last trick is coming). One thing you have to be careful with back chaining is not rewarding sloppy tricks in attempt to reach the end faster. I find with Bandit backchaining vs forward chaining definitely gets us more speed and helps her remember the order better.

@@katie_and_the_bandit5681 Thanks for the reply, Katie. I use backchaining for a lot of basic training but I've never had the confidence to try a trick routine, because my own memory is so bad! LOL. You've inspired me to have a shot! It'll maybe improve my memory. You and your lovely dog are a wonderful team.

@@kirsteenniven5111 Anytime! Thanks and happy training!
