Keep watch until your dog performs one or the other (or both). If your dog is shy of going in front of you, then pretend to be otherwise occupied! When your dog has performed,just as it is finishing, put a word to it, praise and throw a titbit towards your dog. Hopefully your dog will very soon associate performing with a 'cue' word, praise and a reward, and then it will be much easier to go. I would take this training to other places once learned, as it could happen that your dog will only go in your garden, and if you go on holiday, or out for the day, then you could have a problem.<br /><br />Hope that this helps you and good luck.<br /><br />Regards Jan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
