The first education was done by
her mother, who has a great character and Phlox, the dog who also lives
there.
He has certainly influenced the pups in the best sense of the word.
Education:
Vita was raised with the clicker.
A clicker is a plastic box with a metal plate in there.
As you can guess, it makes a click sound.
This is a tool for the independently produced dog behavior, to provoke
the boss of a reward
making the dog repeat its behavior more often for the same pay
A Saarloos is not a stupid dog,
unlike what has been told by some people
and they learn very quickly (even the bad things).
But they also get bored just as quickly,
making them do things twice and then have something like
"been there, done that" so come with something new or more
difficult.
Vita has actually learned everything at
home and sometimes she went along to the dog school
mainly there to get to know other dogs in a controlled manner.
Isn't it handy while you are teaching yourself, you can teach your own
dog along.
Socialization:
This is done extremely well by the breeder as well as here at home.
Vita was the most reserved dog of the breed
but despite that, she does great
and would not have gotten where we are without all this.
So for that I thank the breeder of Vita
Some good books about this (in dutch):
