fancy dog training is cool and all but i absolutely love taking my dog on nature walks more than anything especially when i can let her free to explore it for herself. she wears her e collar out as a safety precaution but i rarely ever use it and the food i bring is to reward behaviors here and there but giving her freedom is a reward itself. just hope this shows anyone that training your dog doesnt mean you’re gonna have to rely on tools or food forever. thats why training is worth it(:

in case you were wondering why in all my obedience videos we dont do any downs its cuz of this 😝 i noticed that my downs were straight down sometimes having her move forward and i decided i didnt like that so now im here reteaching a fold into the down ! using the target has helped by discouraging her to move her front feet forward. It’s not perfect and she still creeps forward a bit but i’m just letting her get the idea over time she’ll get it :)

a year ago i didnt think id have a focused heel like you see online!! i thought it was a complicated behavior only elite professionals would know how to do 😂 its possible yall (:
