Thread: Training techniques

what you do is up to you.
myself...... get as close as possible to kennel without dog seeing you then quickly move in very aggressively giving good telling off or smack on bum etc etc etc etc then go away again..inside for cuppa tea etc BEFORE letting now quiet dog off..assuming that you were going to let dog off....
same when we get home, if dogs bouncing around on chain whinging etc they stay there for a time before letting them off once they calm.
the pat isn't needed...you have disciplined dog....why pat/praise afterwards???
garden hose n sprinkler set up close to kennel with tap you can reach works sometimes..hint here nylex fitting will fit wash house taps.
