[nagdu] waiting in line

[Katrin Andberg]

I have taught James how to do this as well.  I started with a "follow" and I
also taught him "walk up" means "take 1 step forward at a time".  So when I
wanted to teach him to stand and follow a line I combined the "follow" cue
and the "walk up" cue and he picked it up very quickly.  Then again James
has always been good with the follow cue.

I would love to teach Monty to wait patiently in line and to move up when 

appropriate.  How did those of you who taught this to your dogs do it?  I'm 

thinking I would teach follow first, then vary the follow to include pauses 

and then longer and longer pauses.  Am I on the right track?

 

Monty is not a very good follower. *sigh*  He is getting better though.

 

I really haven't worked on anything totally new in the past 6 months.  We 

have been working just on smoothing out the intricacies of working together.


Now that that is well in hand, I think this summer I'll work on adding 

additional skills.

 

Love all the ideas!
