we were taught by a well-known trainer of the day to observe - is the dog
confused by the command (maybe you didn't give it right), does he just not know
or understand, or is he being deliberately disobedient. The training/correction
was according to the above.
If the dog just sat there and appeared confused, you need to be more clear in
showing what you want. You don't correct a kid or animal for what they don't
know. But if they deliberately disobey, they get a correction appropriate to
the disobedience.
i.e. my dog would sit and I would go on the other side of the jump and act
like an idiot using the motion to get him to jump and come etc. It was
ineresting to see the 'lightbulb' come on and he would jump at the appropriate
time and hand signal or verbal command.
BUT if he deliberately went around the jump, he got a gentle correction and put
back in place and no praise. If he decided to get up and go away to another
place, the correction was a bit stronger. Anyway, it worked like a charm.
