Add A 2nd Name or New Command

However you train & habitually work your dog, the speed, position and attitude quickly become the accepted "Normal." If you have taught it consistently & exactly as you want it done, you will be happy but if you haven't you'll have some work to do.

So if you discover your results are not as you want them to be or if another human uses your command but in a different way; how does the dog know how he should respond?

When working with Sue & Fran, both had very different wants & needs from the same dog. Fran took Zeuss out and played with him. Sue needed him to be calm and work at a much slower speed. Poor Zeuss was doing his best to respond to the words but each human had a different definition of common commands. That was resulting in Zeuss LOVING to play rough with Fran and very quickly becoming too rough for Sue.

By Sue adding the 2nd name, Baby Boy; her commands apply to the loyal, polite companion/Dog of Service. Fran can now give Zeuss a chance to blow off energy, have fun and run after his ball & toys that Fran throws for him.

Now that we have identified the two separate dogs living in that one cute little body, Zeuss will add the happy and Baby Boy will shortly become an Emotional Support, Dog of Service in training: and he is only 6 months old!
