Episode 7 of the Tale of Mo: Dog Training Tips focuses on training sit, down and leave it. This episode, as well as a couple of others involving training actually come before Episode 6, but I just didn’t get around to getting them up in time. Mo is a Border Collie, and we foster him as part of the Border Collie Rescue of Texas. www.bcrescuetexas.org Right now we have some big medical bills because of a couple of rescue dogs that tested positive for heart worms and other medical emergencies. If you would like to donate to help these dogs, please see our website.
Rudeboy is a rescue. He is a Bull Terrier. He is a handful!! Obedience is the way forward! The only way! See how I use treats to teach my dog commands, which in turn develops his respect for me and our bond, which in turn shapes his behaviour in general.

www.pamsdogacademy.com This was on my other computer before I got my new imac with imovie. So, I thought I would post it anyway. I also had it posted and for some reason the audio stopped playing. So, I uploaded it again. Sorry, if you have already watched it. This is a fun game to play with your dog that can prevent many behavior problems, give your dog mental stimulation, exercise, and it is fun for everyone in the family. Dogs love to find things! Not to mention it is a natural behavior to want to search and find fun things. I taught my dogs this game using clicker training and by slowly increasing the distance at which the item is placed until it is in another room, then in harder and more difficult places to encourage the dog to really have to search for it. One my dogs really understand the game, I hide multiple things for them to find. It really teaches the dog to use their senses. This game is a fun activity, but could also be useful if training a search and rescue dog. Have a great time with your dog! Dogs are always learning, so hopefully they are learning good acceptable behaviors instead of developing unacceptable ones. Take care! Pam, Isabelle, & Bandit
On Tuesday February 5th Alpine Meadows hosted a full day of search and rescue dog training in conjunction with the Placer County Sherriff Search and Rescue, and the Placer County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Tahoe Dog Team. It was a real carnival for the dogs with helicopter rides, treasure hunts in the snow and non-stop games all designed to train them to sniff out and save buried avalanche victims. www.skialpine.com
