Like Sue mentioned, we use both "all done" and "last one" with our activities. When I say all done there is usually a little celebration (face licks for the humans and petting for the dogs) before the dogs run off and get water or find their favorite place to relax. It was a relief to hear Susan say this was okay. Whew!
Yes, video on setting a rhythm might be helpful. Work life had a rhytm, but now that I am always home, it has changed a bit, and some evenings my dog wants to revert back to old times.
This is so my dog. From the beginning, I wanted an awesome behaved dog (got her at 7wks). Early, daily training of bonding play, along with sit, lie down, come, leash training, leave it, and get down--changed to “off”. I still have a hyper-active, independent thinking Great Pyrenees/black lab that cannot listen when we have visitors. I have hired a professional trainer (not extremely involved, comes to my home, $2000 for 8 lesson). She is now 10 months, 85# and I’m struggling. I swear, I need step by step, so not to overwhelm me, and not too long, because (I swear) she suffers from ADHD. 10 minutes training max.

Very useful! My whole struggle with my now 7 mo old BC has been about the rhythm of living together. He definitely thinks I am his driver! Would love a podcast on the rhythm of life with your high drive dog.
Awesome podcast! The what happens in the next 24 hours reinforces or erodes...I needed to hear that. Working my brilliant bc I am often challenged by what she integrates from her learning into daily life. Thank you.
I’m assuming when you talk about rhythm here it’s akin to routine? In any case would definitely love to hear more about it in your new episode. I have always used a phrase “that’s it” after training and headed to potty or crate as a puppy. Now he’s older, I have hardly moved to different environment after training even though I ended with “that’s it” and plonk right down on my seat. No wonder he’s like “what the heck..” This podcast is an awakening moment 🤯…. I’d be sure not to leave him hanging again. Thanks, Susan!
Susan, thank you, this makes things so much clearer. I am one with an 3 year old dog that came into Recallers, and I see that I was not ending the training sessions right and leaving my dog hanging.
We tell our dogs, all done, or if we are playing fetch we say, last one, and they key in on that. Otherwise they would have us playing or training all day long. If you have a high drive dog, or a field dog a working dog, they might be able to “work” 3-4 hours straight before a nap. My 5yo female Toller would work till she drops, but it is our job to give them structure. Morning time. Then humans work. Afternoon time is long walk or a few training sessions then rest and meal time then some more play time after their last meal. They always have a crate available and use it for napping during down time.
Beaking down the structure of a training session was useful, thank you. I would be interested in more discussion about daily rythm. We are 6 months at home and 6 months travelling in an RV. I try to keep basic daily event "structure" (outside, food, training, walks, play) as similar as I can for my 11.5 yo dog as well as incorporating all the new experiences available to us. Would appreciate more ideas and comments about daily rythms. Thanks! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Dear Susan, thank you so much - again an extremely helpful podcast! You mention the 'recipe for utter disaster' when bringing a dog with short motivation span to a hour training... would it be possible for you to expand on this on a separate podcast? The greatest majority of sport dog training classes (at least here in Europe) are 60 or sometimes 90 minutes group trainings. What is your take on this? Is this an old fashioned and non-functional training model? Or what would be the prerequisites to make a group training successful? Are there dogs for which this kind of training 'works'? I find myself struggling more and more to feel at ease in such classes (although I'd so much love to 'fit in' just because it's nice to be part of a group!). I myself have problems keeping the attention and tension up during 15-20min obedience excercises on a line without breaks, some dogs seem to never lose drive though (they might start barking but keep being fully excited), but me - with my lovely, sensitive Golden Retriever - have no chance of keeping up. My dog looks excited at the start and after 2-3 min ... the fire is gone :(. And yet, I don't seem to find groups that train with different ... structures... or approaches. Are sport training groups/clubs doomed to die out? IT would be great to have your view on this . Thank you!
I bring a few toys including his favorite toy - a tennis sized ball inside a ball. I like to go to different places for obedience classes, just to get other people's perspectives and how other trainers do things. The most recent class I'm in is so boring even for me and I'm usually never bored. So I know if I'm bored, I know my Dobe is bored. I end up playing with my boy in between exercises the instructor is teaching. (Balance breaks). Plan on practicing IYC next class while we're waiting for the instructor to test us. Try doing tricks too - pretty, couchet, stand, stay, spin, twirl, etc. I know when I'm teaching a class, am pretty sure the students are not bored and the dogs are just chilled. When it's time for them to work, they're ready and in btw they just chill on their carpet square. Hope that helps.
Very helpful. I am wondering about the "new behavior" part -- would that also include behaviors we are trying to shape at a "new" higher level, for example, when we advance or grow the game?
My puppy struggles to stay engaged… so she is awesome for a minute (17 weeks old…) and then I end the session and she sits and stares at me waiting to work. How do I change that?
I loved your podcast and I need more because I have a high drive dog 10 mo Aussi S and she never stop playing (training), She just want more and more. If I say that's it, she get in a position : I want to play again and probably barks at me.
Great podcast. I needed the clarity. I guess I have stopped at times when the puppy appears to not be interested. Think I have been teaching something I shouldn't have been. Do you have any videos, podcasts or can direct me to where I can learn to teach my 7 month old puppy to back up like your dogs?

Man... so many things to learn. Dog training is soooo hard
Just what I needed to know. Thank you! I do say All done, and we walk back into the house, so I guess I was doing it right without knowing i was!
Yes please extend on the rhythm of life with dogs 😃

I do this with my guys after watching a video from Kamal Fernandez. We have “ready” to start and “that’ll do” to finish.
Awesome podcast! The what happens in the next 24 hours reinforces or erodes...I needed to hear that. Working my brilliant bc I am often challenged by what she integrates from her learning into daily life. Thank you.
I would love a follow up to this if it hasn't been done already.

I Would also love a podcast about your take on the rhythm of life with dogs
Wow, this podcast is so helpful in setting up my training sessions. Thank you so much Susan and staff.
I love your podcasts!
Would love to hear about your thoughts on the rhythm of life with dog(s)!
Susan, thank you, this makes things so much clearer. I am one with an 3 year old dog that came into Recallers, and I see that I was not ending the training sessions right and leaving my dog hanging.
Do you have an episode for agility warm up exercises?
Super useful guidance, love these podcasts!
Another awesome podcast Susan ❤️
My dog that is 1/2 Aussie and 1/4 border would train all day and all night. Ok he does like his cookies.

really, really good one Susan! thank you!
Where does desensitization or counter conditioning fall in your training session breakdown?
Really needed this guidance to give me focus. Thank you!
Very helpful. I am wondering about the "new behavior" part -- would that also include behaviors we are trying to shape at a "new" higher level, for example, when we advance or grow the game?
Yes I would put those there as well.

Hi Helen, we've got an overview of back up for you in episode 32 at around the 14 minute mark: ruclips.net/video/-6ikk7uQcXA/видео.html
@@DogsThat Thank you.
So taking a dog to an obedience class isn't a good idea?
