Stella is part way through her Walk & Train package where we are teaching her how to walk on long lead (for exploring and sniffing) and short lead (for walking next to a pram).
Teaching Stella two contexts for walking on lead means she gets an outlet for natural dog behaviours on the long lead and learns to be comfortable walking next to the pram on a shorter lead.

Teaching Rocky to ignore distractions and only come out of his crate when I give him his release cue.

Working on positive associations and disengaging from strangers that enter the environment. The first two clicks are to let her know that people = a good outcome for her. Clicks three to five are to communicate that if you choose to disengage and focus on me = a good outcome for her.
We are working at a distance and in an environment she is comfortable with. Over time we will decrease the distance and slowly work in more complex environments. Plus there will be a lot of fun activities for her to do in between training trials. It needn’t be all work and no play for both her and her handler! 😊

Working with Ollie on teaching down on cue. This behaviour can sometimes be more challenging for smaller dogs. Her owner has taught a solid sit on cue, so we are using this to our advantage. Sit is an opposing behaviour to down, and teaching behaviours in opposites can help provide clarity for dogs between positions, therefore it’s an efficient way of training.
You can teach pick up vs drop, forward vs back up, and jump up vs jump down, just to give a few examples of teaching opposing behaviours. Generally, once a dog has learned 3 or 4 opposing sets of behaviours they understand the concept and pick up further trained opposing behaviours more easily.

Luna learning to touch an object with her nose and in this session I begin to introduce the cue ‘nose’ because she is presenting the nose touch reliably.
This is part of her Walk & Train program. Before I start work with the leash it is essential that she is able to focus and work with me, and that she feels relaxed enough to learn.

Relaxation for dogs.
You can teach your dog to breathe through their nose and hold their breath.
This exercise allows the dog to relax as their heart and respiratory rates decrease, making way for their focus and attentiveness to increase.
Practical application of this exercise is very beneficial prior to or after stress inducing events (eg vet visit) or where you wish to increase their focus (training session or high distraction area).
A closed mouth and nose flare indicate a nose breathe in, mark the behaviour as the nose flare is occurring and immediately deliver a piece of food. Watch carefully for Frankie’s nose flare movements to get an idea of what to look for. Careful observation and food delivery timing is key.

Shaping the behaviour of a head dip with Frankie the #westipoo
As the session goes on he starts offering the head dip deliberately because he is learning that the behaviour gets reinforced.
So to teach and strengthen a behaviour we need to reinforce it.
