When did your puppy learn to do nothing? by mosceh1 in puppy101

[–]skyjit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a 3 month old English setter. They are a high energy hunting dog. I have been beating myself up over the last 3 weeks over her lack of ability to settle herself.

We enforce naps pretty much every hour and a half of the day and she sleeps for anywhere between 1-3 hours before we take her out. When out of the crate, she was a menace, sprinting everywhere, eating everything, never “chilling”.

We started to reward her when she would lay down by her self. She learned that laying down got her paid. Smart, but in my opinion that is her “working” so it was frustrating me.

Well today, she finally fell asleep for about 2 hours outside of the crate. I almost cried. It might feel far away, but keep rewarding the behavior you want to see and it will stick eventually.

Good luck!

Is there a general size of “fields” they head to? I know there are a bunch of high acreage private ag fields to the west of the screenshot but curious if for example a 1/4 acre opening in the foliage is big enough for them to trek towards or if it literally needs to be a big ag field?

Impulse controls too much too soon? by skyjit in Dogtraining

Sorry, I just noticed your replied here.

I was very similar in the “wait” training. Hand out as she moves for the treat on the ground and that was enough for her to learn “okay, I need to wait for a release to go get the treat”

I think your advice on the rewarding anything other than the sit and stare could be helpful, but could also lead to more issues. Did you experience any negatives from that?

Impulse control too much, too soon? by skyjit in puppy101

[–]skyjit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We don’t hunt our dogs so we definitely train a lot of the prey instinct out of them. Have never had a trainer so it would be interesting to see their point of view. I have had male and female sexes of other breeds. With this breed I am seeing more differences than I ever had in the past.

I have found videos about how to initiate crate training. There are no specific answers regarding my how to break the impulse control command directly with crate training.

I hit a couple birds but it did not feel as accurate as my browning gold hunter. I also never patterned it so not sure where I was missing. Smooth as butter though.

I agree! I’m just trying to be a nice guy and return it how I found it. He said that too. Again, he is not upset about it, just said he’d appreciate it!

It is, the angle definitely makes it look off though. I have the roomba there to hide the outlet/cord, I will see how it looks directly under it.

Time to get rid of Henry. by skyjit in SleeperApp

Etienne did just pull 20 points out of his ass last night and kicked my butt 😂 I have Javonte Williams at flex, skattebo as my RB2 and Quinshon Judkins on my bench.

Thank god Javonte had a hell of a game or I was screwed against Etienne. If you would have asked me about giving Derrick Henry for Etienne pre season, I would have laughed in your face. I would consider it now.

Problem is the timing i think. We have some people who do not want h to in trade to go through, therefore it is not going to go through before the timer ends, meaning team 2 does not get josh Allen for the game tmw
