A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let their journey begin..
Roxanne Lee July 10, 2026 at 4:03 AM Excellent work and noticeable improvement over last weeks Week 4 EXAM effort.
Super delighted to see Koda's heel position improved. Jurgen, you are doing MUCH better at insisting Koda remain in Heel position at all times. Those 'fast, short' steps on the command of "Heel" will greatly benefit Koda's understanding of the need to pay close attention to you.
Jurgen, on the RAT, please 'pause' and push forward for a noticeable nano second (or two), then turn into 2nd position (ballet) and pause for a noticeable nano second, THEN take a baby steps with your left foot, then a normal step with your right. PRACTICE WITH FIDO so Koda has the time he needs to 'read your feet' and suck closer into you as he turns. Don't want him to get used to being corrected every time he is on the outside as you turn, so if you will practice your RAT mechanics with Fido, Koda will do MUCH better.
Great Stand, Good Sits (cease using verbal 'Sit), excellent Stand Circles, great Recall and much better Approach by a Stranger.
