Eliminating on Command
With winter coming along, I would like to get Moogli going on command. IIRC
some people in here (Suja, Sara??) have their dog(s) trained to do so. How did you do it?? Do you use a seperate command for each, or just one and whatever comes out comes out. -- ******************************************* Marcel Beaudoin & Moogli ******************************************* 'After a hard day, it's nice to come home to a warm dog.' *******************************************

Do you use a seperate command for each, or just one and whatever comes out comes out. LOL! I use 2 sep but connected phrases, and honestly don't care "what" comes out FIRST. I do care that the job is complete when I know it needs to be. For instance - on Thursday nights, we have flyball practice. The dogs eat at 5, we leave at ~7:30 for practice. At 7:25, we go out in the yard and I say "do your business". Both dogs pee. Then I direct towards Franklin "more business" and he poops. Lucy never needs to and if she did it would be of no consequence - she holds it forever. OTOH, I KNOW that Franklin needs to poop sometime that evening, and that running and racing will get things going at an inoppotune time, so I make him go before we leave the house. They both get instructed to go before we go on walks or car trips as well of course! BTW - the way to start teaching this is to connect the phrase while the dog is eliminating, accompanied with praise (in other words - dog goes out first thing in a.m., say a "do your business" and say "good business" as he pees immediately (a great time to start this!)). Same with "#2". Janet Boss Best Friends Dog Obedience "Nice Manners for the Family Pet" Voted "Best of Baltimore 2001" - Baltimore Magazine www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com

I don't know about herding, but in Obedience and (AKC) Agility you'll lose
more than points, the dog is automatically NQ'd for eliminating in the ring. -- Kristen and Kali CD, CGC, TDIA, TT www.kristenandkali.com "Shelly & The Boys" wrote in message ... "J1Boss" wrote in message ... From: Marcel Beaudoin Do you use a seperate command for each, or just one and whatever comes out comes out. well of course!

Same with "#2". I taught Bodhi this as a baby puppy, we potty trained in the yard, in an X-pen set up (because the little bugger wanted to go cavorting around afterward, "yay! I pooped, I'm such a gooooood boy!" and run underneath the porch & I had trouble getting him out! laugh We use "go potty" and "hurry up" for bm's. And, while Coda is great at pottying on command, not so much for poops. Bodhi is funny though, he really seems disgusted at the idea of pooping some where other than home! Because we live in the country, and have a doggie-door access, they never have to "ask" for permission. But, because I know that in the future, I want to compete in sports w/ Bodhi, I taught him to eliminate on command. No points off for peeing in the herding or agility arena for us...or gasp the obedience ring! And, this past weekend while at a cottage on the beach, I found it *extremely* useful to be able to tell them to get on w/ their business while we were on our outside trips! Shelly & The Boys
