What’s up everyone! This week’s video is a session with a board & train dog working on FOCUS! This is his first time doing a session where he is rewarded for EYE CONTACT ONLY! It is far from perfect but I’m sure everyone’s dog could benefit from more sessions like this! Enjoy!

Faster he’s connecting with my eyes than He did just a minute ago this shouldn’t Take Super long to do hence the five minute Challenge [Music] Good Now we reset him [Music] [Music] This is his dinner This is his dinner how does your dog Earn their dinner making them sit stay While you put the bowl down on the Kitchen don’t count Good [Music] Good How are we doing on time Minute 50.

So with lou specifically i keep Releasing him like this because i want To keep his drive up i can see come on New man You can see after a few reps you start To lose him a little bit So i want to keep this active it’s only Five minutes [Music] Three Two One And that’s five right there now i could Keep going and i’ll go one more but You get the idea people five minute Challenge you could do it ten you could Do it 15 minutes maybe if you want i’m Gonna do one more i’m gonna make it Really hard Food both hands Teasing him with it put it right on his Nose i got the food i got the food hands Go out Good I pay him One more time hands out Checks the cameraman looks around Good Good job buddy Very good boy That’s about as easy As we can make it dog training wise i am Paying lou For looking up into my eyes for several
Seconds at a time and the way i’m Rewarding him is i have my food i market Market With good bring the food up deliver it Down to him and i feed him It’s only been five minutes okay maybe Six or seven but you can see blue man He’s definitely got a little baby pant Going you can tell he’s exercising his Mental powers it may not look like much But Five sessions like this throughout the Day for three days in a row you would be Floored The difference from day one to day five With your dog you’d be floored if you’re Doing it right so five minute challenge Eye contact only marking feeding Bringing it down to the dog he happened To take a sit i wouldn’t even care if he Was standing laying down it’s just about The eye contact not the position So there’s the session we’re gonna put Him up I’d love to hear from you guys hit me in The comments hit me with your questions If you haven’t already if you think i’ve Earned it i would love a subscribe If you like what you saw in this video And want to see more than just what’s on This youtube channel you can support me On my patreon patreon.com Andy krueger that’s where i post hours Of new content monthly more of a behind
