The OUT command

The OUT command is a powerful command is multifaceted command that has many different meanings and since we teach Context to a dog they fully understand what that is, for instance, if a dog has a ball and we say OUT the dog drops the ball and moves away from it, if the dog is eating food and we say out, they stop eating and move away from the bowl (great for resource guarders) if the dog is in our space or in our way (always in the kitchen when you are cooking for instance) you say OUT the dog moves away from the kitchen area, another great use is if 2 dogs are playing maybe too rough, or if one dog is bothering another dog you can say OUT and your dog will move away from that dog, training each of those things has a training protocol and not only do we do the fundamental work with the dog, we then do all of the proofing of it and put it to use, first in a controlled set up situation and then, we do it randomly to make sure the dog understands what we want.

If the dog is not understanding we give the dog plenty of guidance on how they should respond in each situation, this way the dog understands and if you need to correct the dog for not listening it is fair to do so and they respond to the correction. The reason is, you have role played what to do when they are corrected for not listening, this is all part of a comprehensive training program we do with every dog that comes into our program, we also have online courses that teach this and we teach folks with our remote (Done with You) online training program.
