Dog training in Huntington Beach with video

Dog training in Huntington Beach with video

Huntington Beach offers some excellent places to do dog training. One
of my favorite dog training spots in Huntington Beach is Central Park.

I put together this dog training video showing some of the terrain and
distractions to be found in Huntington Beach’s Central Park. The most
noticeable training distractions are the ducks. The ducks are quite
tame and will often allow a dog and handler team to get very close.
The tameness of the duck at Central Park makes it ideal for training
the recall from motion (come for). As the dog becomes more skilled I
will move to different locations. The ducks are also handy for
teaching the Heel and Sit Stay

Dog Training in Huntington Beach Park Video

The first short segment of the video shows a Labrador Retriever
working on heel using a gentle leader head collar along with food
reinforcement.

The second and main part of the video shows a Lab mix working with
food and a traditional training collar. The video of the Lab mix shows
the beginning phase of training the dog to come from distractions, in
this case ducks, and it’s done with a standard 6 foot training leash.
There is one place in the video where a leash correction is used. I
like to use food reinforcement as much as possible but in this case I
thought using a mild correction was more useful.

Toward the end of the video is a very short clip showing a Rottweiler
training at the park with its owners. This dog is also using a
traditional collar. Although I am using a traditional collar in the
video I also use a gentle leader head collar with this dog. I was
using the slip collar during this training session to teach the owners
better handling skills. It is sometime easier to learn how not to over
handle a dog with a slip collar than with either a gentle leader type
head collar or a pinch collar. I thought the gentle leader head collar
would be counterproductive for teaching not to over handle during this
training session.

Central Park in Huntington Beach also has an active dog park that can be useful for some types of training. Before taking your dog into the dog park make sure it is working at a level that you can sustain in an off leash environment.

Additional dog training opportunities at Huntington Beach’s Central Park.
Another great dog training opportunity provided at Huntington Beach’s
Central Park can be found at either of its two eating establishments. Unfortunately we are now limited to only one dog friendly place for doggy dining.
The most popular restaurant is the Park Bench Café and it’s extremely
dog friendly. I will often take a dog out for breakfast to work on
clam behavior around other dog while I’m eating.

Dog Beach in Huntington Beach

Dog Beach is also a very good place to do dog training in Huntington Beach. Not far from dog beach is Main Street for a totally different training environment. By combining central park, dog Beach, and Main Street you will have a well rounded mix of training experiences.
