Video breakdown/demo:


Defintion:


"Break" is your dogs release word. When we say this it cues your dog that they are free to go. It signifies a clear ending to a command/behavior or the end of a training session.


Why:


It signifies a clear ending to a command/behavior or the end of a training session. Relying on a release word instead of repeating "stay" keeps our dogs focused on the behavior and handler because following the cue "break" it is followed up with a reward whether that be pets, play time, food, etc


Practical Uses:


  • Releasing your dog from their place to greet guests

  • Releasing your dog throiugh the door to go potty

  • Releasing your dog to run free in a field after heeling from the car
