-15 to -30 degrees. We are scheduled for a bad blizzard starting tonight "which has begun". What this video does not show you is how I have continued training with the E-Collar while working force fetch. The object of this pressure training is to make sure and not use this as a discipline tool, but instead as a tool that allows Tuvuk to understand how to turn the pressure off. I can't express how important it is to start your dog out using this collar properly. I have seen trainers and owners ruin a dog with a E-Collar by using it in the wrong context. Again the object of Force Fetching is for Tuvuk to fetch on command without hesitation. This will help out greatly when we continue on into advanced training sessions. I am very pleased at the progress he has made over the past 2-3 weeks, even with the challenges we face in the North. I can't wait for you to see him in his first hunt test this summer. We have a ton of work between now and then, but he has done a great job up till now. Again I hope you enjoy the video! Please comment if you have any questions about the training we have done so far. Yes at the end of the video my blinker on my truck was turned on by a mysterious dog that was in the truck. "Kiera"

Walking Force Fetch
In this video you will see how we have continued our force fetch training. Since my last video I have not had a chance to take Tuvuk outside due to really cold temperatures for the past 2 weeks of anywhere from

Once again Great Video! I'm really happy to see you point out the correct way to use a remote collar. There are so many people out there who mis-understand it. Remote collars can be a great training tool when used correctly. Tuvuk is looking great! I think your going to have a great hunting companion! Keep up the great work!

Thanks again Amy,
ReplyDeleteI am pretty pleased so far with the progress considering the training conditions that we have here in Nome. I cant wait till this snow goes away and we can get some quality training in. I just hope he still remembers what "water" even is.
I'm sure you'll have no problem with that. If they've met it once, they seem to remember it no matter how long it takes them.
