Easily Train Your Dog Not To Run Through Open Doors

The “Wait At The Door” Training Procedure

Step 1: Have your dog sit by your side as you face the door (inside of the house). Be sure that the door opens away from you. The idea is to show your dog that an open door does not mean it is okay for him to leave.

Step 2: Now give him the “wait” command as you reach for the door. If your dog does not move, say “Good Boy” and give him a treat. However, if he starts to move towards the door, give a cheerful “No No”, and get him to sit down again. Do not scold him, keep it positive. It’s supposed to be fun and productive.

If you have navigation as well as communication capabilities in just one device, you are sure to prefer that device wouldn’t you?

Being kicked by a horse is not to be taken lightly, I personally know of Farriers who have died from kicks and others having broken bones. Nails in horse’s feet will rip through the farriers flesh as easy as a hot knife through butter. Horses jerk legs while working on them and sit and lean and try everything sometimes in an effort to dislodge the Farrier from his work.
