Audio on! Watch how I handle a nervous dog. Nothing beats patience and guidance 😊 #dog #sxm #dogtraining #saradogtrainingsxm
Oliver loves to bark at other dogs and will sometimes lunge at them too. With some gentle techniques implemented he’s starting to be able to change his habits of reacting around other dogs to focusing on his owner instead! Here he practices Stay in the presence of residential dog Lucy, which shows his focus and impulse control! Great work 🤩 #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #sxm
School’s over and it’s time to play! Watching dogs play is so fun 😘 Violet is on week 3 of her 5 week obedience course and she’s doing so well! #dogtraining #puppy
A bit of a late post, but here we can see the Fellas focus on their owners around another dog! This is a big step up from their usual barking. Great work!
Closer and closer we get! Lizzy (brown dog) is highly reactive and doesn’t enjoy other dogs in her space. We have been able to close this gap over the last few weeks. Chef (white and brown) had his first physical meeting with Lucy which was exciting! Be patient and understanding of your reactive/nervous dogs ❤️❤️❤️ #reactivedog #dogtraining #sxm
Lilee began training with me because she is very scared of new environments and people. This video was taken on our second session and she was able to focus on her owner during an uncomfortable encounter and even take a bite of her treat, which she had been too nervous to do before. Great work! #dogtraining #sxm #islanddog
Sami is almost ready for her Level 1 Obedience exam! I’m so proud of this team’s progress 😍 #dog #dogtraining #adoptdontshop #sxm
Today’s training class was unusual but wholesome! Pauli was very afraid of the beach, but after some patience and lots of treats he discovered that digging in the sand was so much fun and he wasn’t so afraid anymore 🥰 #positivereinforcement #dogtraining #puppy
The doggies at the Wednesday Get Together did great with their practice! Poppy even got to join us in the comfort of her bed, despite her new disability ❤️
Bella and Charlie hold a Sit-Stay even with me walking past them! Super proud of their mama’s hard work! #positivereinforcement #happydog #happylife
Just a week ago Mando came to me as an incredibly strong puller. Here his owner walks him calmly past Lucy. We were also able to practice some basic commands with Lucy walking around. Amazing progress! #calmdog #dogtraining #saradogtraining
The Gang has been learning how to walk nicely as a pack. An organized walk consists of two parts: the traveling and the relaxing/sniffing. In this video we are traveling and practicing a Stop command.
