Training Spotlight: Princess the Pomeranian’s First Week Progress

In this week's training update from SLC Dog Co., trainer Jonathan works with Princess, a bright nine-month-old Pomeranian. In just one week of boarding and training, Princess is already showing impressive mastery of several core obedience commands.Here is a breakdown of the skills Princess demonstrated during her session:

1. Heeling and Loose Leash Walking

Princess showed excellent focus during the Heel command [00:14]. She maintained a steady pace alongside the trainer, keeping her attention fixed on him even as they changed directions. This foundational skill is essential for controlled, enjoyable walks.

2. The Auto-Sit and Sit-Stay

A key part of the training is the Auto-Sit [00:43]. As soon as the trainer stops walking, Princess is taught to automatically sit without being asked. Following this, she demonstrated a solid Sit-Stay [00:51]. She remained in a seated position even as the trainer walked away, holding the command until she heard her release word, "Okay" [01:07].

3. Down-Stay

Princess is also learning the Down command [01:20]. Once her elbows hit the ground, she entered a Down-Stay, showing great patience while the trainer moved around her [01:33]. This is a vital command for teaching a dog to settle in different environments.

4. Commands in Motion

Taking it to the next level, Jonathan showcased Motion Commands. While both the trainer and Princess were moving, he gave a "Sit" command [01:54]. Princess responded immediately, stopping her movement to sit while the trainer continued to walk away. She also began working on responding to hand signals only [02:13], showing her growing ability to read visual cues.

5. The Place Command

Finally, Princess practiced the Place command [02:51]. She was directed to a specific bed and told to stay there. The "Place" command is a "boundary stay," meaning she can move around or lie down on the bed however she likes, provided all four paws stay on the surface [03:04].

Looking Ahead

It has been a productive first week for Princess! She is proving to be a quick learner with a great attitude. Stay tuned for more updates as she continues her training journey at SLC Dog Co.
