We went through all the same things as in the previous lesson: admission to the dog, passing other dogs, waiting calmly in the same position, coming to the owner when called under all circumstances and basic position from which all the training sessions start from. The most important thing with training a dog, is to get in contact with the dog. If the owner and the dog are not in contact, the dog will not listen to the trainer nor learn anything new. I think the hardest thing was to get my dog's full attention, there were about 10 other dogs that were much more interesting than me or the cheese. Sitting down has become easy through vigorous training but we are having extreme difficulties with especially passing other dogs without pulling in a leash. The breeder taught us about 3 different ways of how to teach the dog the commands. The only way to find out what works best for your dog is simply by trying all of them.
