The MOST DIFFICULT dog training command!

All right. Today we're going to be talking about the difficult and dreaded finish command. All right. The finish command when done well is one of the most beautiful things to watch in obedience training, but it's also without question, one of the most difficult exercises and skills to teach a dog. most people don't even really teach that skill or trainers to their own dogs because of the difficulty of trying to teach that skill. So most people who do that really are competition trainers because in competition you have to have that skill. Now when teaching the finish command, there's a difference between a dog doing the finish and a dog doing it with speed and enthusiasm. There's a big difference in the skill level and how it's taught. So if a dog just goes there, that's fine. He's doing it, but there's a big difference to teach it quickly and it gets there really fast. So when we start teaching this to people, they suffer. Even when I start teaching other trainers how to teach dogs to do this, it's really difficult for them to catch the techniques and get the dog to drive in there really well. So without question, the most difficult skill of all to teach. So now this young puppy we're going to show you, we are teaching her all her basics that you'll see here. We are teaching her to bark on command because she is going to be a protection dog later. So we want her on cue to bark when we tell her to start barking at somebody. Good. All right. So we were teaching the little puppy how to get to that leg. Now when teaching this for me, this is the one skill that I pound and I make the owners go at this really hard and make this skill a priority in the beginning while teaching all those other commands. All the other ones are a piece of cake compared to this skill. So I really emphasize in the beginning when starting really, really pound this one because this is the one that's going to take the dog a lot of precision, how to find the side, how to spin its butt and turn in there and get in the exact position. Let's see the way she spun that butt around the circle. There's a lot of technique to this. So I really make sure that the owners are at it and add it and add it. And even with my own dogs, I do everything, but I really pound this one constantly more than any other because this one has to be done right from the beginning a lot to get it really, really imprinted. So here you're going to see we're just standing around and we're talking and she's just throwing herself into that leg because we've been pounding it so much. Well, because right now that's a very difficult skill. Look at that. She's trying to throw herself there. Draw her forward. Now the moment. Yeah, you got to treat that. Let's do that for a second. Let's put the leash. So she goes and does it in there. Just make sure your hand is not lingering too low because she fixed it. So now the trick here and I treat him again and I let her know, love that spot, love that spot. So I empower, empower, and all she wants to do is goes, where's the finish? Where's the finish? Where's the finish? Where's the finish? She becomes a cycle path because that's the hardest one. So we make cycle, cycle, cycle, everything else becomes easy. And then I, I, I cycle imprint all the other stuff, but that's the hardest one. And you're just going to back up. You're going to stay there. All right. And here you're going to see Clissy throws herself off the box, comes back around, isn't in the right position on me. And I just hold off and she just gets frustrated whining. Why am I not getting the reward? And I just wait for her herself to fix it and do it without help. And then once she gets it perfectly, right, she gets the reward. All right. And here after making her get frustrated and find the positions continuously, she does it perfectly here. What? Perfectly. So if you want to challenge yourself with your own dog and you want to try something very complicated, try the finish command because we call this command no joke. And remember you're looking for in the end, like the adult dogs that we had in the beginning as much speed and precision when they're told to do it as possible, making it much more difficult. So hope you enjoyed till next time. Miami dog whisper.
