Cat Manners???
Standardized training. What are you really getting when you purchase the Bolt Package?
In the past, we have asked our clients to NOT share the additional commands they received when they purchased this training package for their dog.
Being a local mom & pops for the El Paso and West Texas area, we wanted the focus on our core commands we promoted and not the additional items we automatically built in.
We have been over whelmed by the word of mouth support in our local area from past clients because of this. We often get a few daily text messages or a phone call stating they passed our information on to someone else they believed would benefit from our services. And we greatly thank you!!
Did you know the average trained dog can learn up to 165 words?
Here are the additional commands we have automatically included in the past. And some that weren’t.
- Door Manners – Automatically included. We like our trained dogs respectful just as much as you do so they aren’t darting out the door and they are waiting for you to lead them outside.
- Outside Command – Sometimes included. We know that not everyone has a doggy door to their backyard and most people are usually half dressed early in the morning and don’t always want to step outside with their pup while they go do their business. So we included this command to allow their pup to walk outside to the backyard on their own and allow their human time to get better dressed incase the neighbors were also out early in the morning.
- Kennel Manners – Automatically included. When it’s time for them to go to their kennel, we like the easy process of them walking in on their own.
- Food Manners – Automatically included. Teaching the dog to respect meal time by patiently waiting until their dish was placed down and your hand removed before eating.
- Cat Manners – Automatically included. Yes I said cat manners. We teach all our trainees to walking next to us. Which is sometimes right through some populated sections of cats. With so many cat communities now, dogs need to be prepared for this. And that’s what we’ve been doing since our very first day.
- In Command – Automatically included. So many people have a separate room for their pup these days, like the garage, a bedroom, a bathroom, even just getting into the car. We have been using this one to serve so many different purposes.
- Up Command – Standard command. We understand that you may need your dog to get on something at some point. Like a bench. A platform. A scale. The bed of a truck. And we use this command to do it. We have focused our attention at getting them on the object. We know that they may be on that item for a while so we don’t teach the automatic sit and prefer to let your dog decide when they want to sit, stand, or lay down.
- Heel Up Command – a select few have been taught this. This is a walking command that signals the dog to walk onto a desired place while keeping pace with you. Like a bench or a wall. This goes back to me seeing the signals that a dog wants to or can be challenged more, how fun their human has been with us, or my overall time availability.
- Easter Egg Commands – I am not able to keep track of this one. I have taught so many different dogs a very specific command that was unique to their situation. This was always for them to help them cope during my training and was never shared with their human. Some examples are teaching a very unconfident but beautiful dog to keep their chin up while they were walking. This dog hated using a leash and struggled early on. I had to teach them another command so they had something to focus on during the early work portion to make it better for them. Another example was teaching a dog that was struggling with losing how they fit into their pack to lift their head to a select praise appearance word. I did this more for the dog to help remind them they were special and help boost their self-esteem. Another example is teaching a dog that would never be a reliable working protecting dog a different skillset. Not without severely adjusting their normal personality. So instead, I taught this dog an emotional support skill of coming to you and being there to hug and hold onto. (*sidenote – she was one of the hardest dogs I’ve ever had to let go of and turn back over when their training was done.) Someone totally received a trained emotional support dog for FREE! I just never registered them.
Like any other skillset a person acquires, if you’re not actively practicing the methods I show during a turnover, none of it will ever be as good as the day you picked up your family dog. It’s like spending 2 hours teaching someone how to make free throws. You can do great while your with me, if you don’t continue the process, you will see decreased results. And the more you practice, the less you will see yourself needing to use the collar/remote. Your dog understands this too.
