Re: general advice – levels of criteria

[Gracie]

hey, not kiz,

but crit 1 is just at home in the front room / or a room dog spends most time in and is familiar with all the smells and suroundings so wont be too distracted. you start the training here, then when the dog is doing what you asking say sit, 80/90 % on command, you move to the next level, which may be the garden, as dog is familiar but sometimes new smells, distractions with birds bugs noises etc,

hope this helps

and hello and welcome – start an intro post and tell us about your dogs  🙂
