If you've followed these steps, you have a dog with a good basic grounding in
obedience training. Now you'll want to take her out into the wider world and
continue on with her training. You can sign up for obedience class and
investigate other interesting fields for a trained dog, such as retrieving and
agility.
But be aware that even if you've done all these steps, when you take your dog
to a class, you might be dismayed by her behavior. She sits and stays
beautifully at home, but in class she's all over the place, being the class
clown! Don't be discouraged, this new environment and other dogs and people are
extremely distracting to her. At first she'll probably be too interested and
excited in everything else to pay attention to you. Just be patient, and
eventually she'll settle down.
Above all, never consider that you're "done" training your dog! There's
always something new to learn, and new ways for you and your dog to have fun
together.
Acknowledgements: I am not a dog trainer, but a dog owner who is training my
own dog. I haven't invented any new methods, but have described methods that
others have created and that have worked for me. For the method of coaxing your
dog into position with treats, I am indebted to Dr. Ian Dunbar, whose books and
videos on dog training I highly recommend.
