Karen I trained my show dogs to do the set [three min required] and the down [five min required] I used a kitchen timer and set them for two extra mins. The dogs would wait for the timer to go off. There are no timers at the dog shows so they would stay until I went to release them They.had to do this out of sight. I have a tape of the three, Noel Holly, my poodle. Suener, my mix and Peisha my lh black and tan Dashound setting behind plates of cake and ice cream for one of their birthday partys. As I was tapeing and gave the command OK, they did not budge, I had to go and stand beside each one and give the OK before they would take a bite. I was amazed. and so were the party guest. I would take them to the lumber company. pet mart etc and do the sets and stays. I would go to another isle out of sight and the little dolls did perfect. Even when the employees worked around them. I did this because when I first started competeing I trained in the living room on carpet. Got to the show and my little darling would not set on the cold floor. I blew my intree fees. Its a lot of fun and they always made me proud and always winning. Peisha is the only one still with me and she is 16 years old.

I have found the reason there are not more well trained house pets is that training is very very boreing unless you love it. The only way a pet learns is REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT every day for as many days as it takes
. No longer then 15 min a session Your mixed breeds are the easiest to train. I train agility now as it is not as boreing to the pets and a lot of fun. They learn the same commands.
