my name is Kaja, I am student from Slovenia. I am reading this forum for a while and I decided, that is finally time, to introduce our Tamaskan Tana


Here are some photos of Tana (she is now about 57 cm high and weighs about 20 kg):
2-4 months old
I was wondering the same thingLynwae wrote:What's a bringsel?
Ahh interesting! So when the dog locates the hidden person / object, it puts the bringsel (dangling from the collar) in its mouth to indicate that it has found the person / object - very clever!Tana wrote:Bringsels...
Training with bringsel
This is really good to know!Tana wrote:ThanksHer recall is great, because I didn't allow any mistakes. She was on leash first 8 months and always got food as reward.
So does the clicker act more like an attention sound: something like click = food reward? I've always been told that "true" clicker training is when you wait for the dog to perform a desired behavior/action and then click and a treat is given.Tana wrote:1.When I don't working with her (playing, walking, teaching tricks...), she is in the box. Limiting is very important in positive dog training. Punishment here is, that dog doesn't receive food and that you not pay attention to him.
2. All food she receive from my hand, for reward after good job, nice behaviour. I rewarding everything I like. Especially attention on me.
3. She gets most of a food on a walk. She is (was) alwyas on a leash (long leash, 10m or longer). At the beginning, when there was no one, I hid her. When she came, reward.
4. Habituation: I work with her on a bus station, on a field, in the forest, in the shoping center, on a dog show...Leash, food, attention on me, tricks, sit, down, stay...
5. Socialization: Play with other dogs just enough to recall her to play with me. Socialization does not mean play with other dogs! Your puppy must learn about many different dogs, small, large, friendly, playful, a little less friendly. So, I'm taking her to the dog, she becomes familiar with him, I give her a treat infront her nose and take her on. The most important thing is that you are, for your dog, more important than the environment. I have extra nice food for meeting other dogs and people.
6. I am working with clicker. Click, food, click, food. Tana, she looks at me, click, food. On a walk, she walking, walking, Tana, she turns, click, she must come to me, to get her reward.
7. Working with helper. He holds her, I go away, call her, immediately, when she start run very fast, I click and then she give reward, when comes to me. After a while I say YES, instead of click so I don't need to always have a clicker with me.
Yep, definitely. But I also see some of Vega's influence in her - head is not as broad as Sampo's and her stop doesn't look as deep; it's more moderate. Her height looks to be somewhere in between Sampo and Vega's too - a good mix, imo.HiTenshi16 wrote:Can really see her sire's influence in her
