TRAINING WHEN LIFE GETS BUSY
Life gets busy, and sometimes we have to work with our dogs in tight windows of time. If that’s the case, what’s the best option?
Buddy showing here how he likes to use fast and fun sessions in 10 minutes or less.
Play/engagement can greatly outweigh a walk in these short timetables.

PRODOG FAM
🙌 So many of our clients doing amazing work with their dogs.
🐕 Our training programs have a strong focus on the development of each dog (not just fixing problems). Balanced, content and happy dogs, are far less likely to display undesirable behaviour.
🐕🦺 This approach also hugely benefits the dog/handler relationship. Creating a high level of trust and understanding, resulting in more freedom and opportunity to explore the world.

Chaining Downsides
Teaching the dog to sit before we ask for everything else can become a bit of a road block in training.
Buddy explains how “chaining” other behaviours to the sit can create inconsistency and unreliability.

LOOSE LEAD WALK: 2 Essentials
Note: The LLW training process should only be started once your dog has basic, but good foundation skills (sit/drop/conditioned markers/highly valued reward/basic leash skills).

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
Has no end point…
Dog training is not only a mechanism to train behaviour on cue, it also:
✅ Provides a fast means to develop a more meaningful relationship.
✅ Creates opportunity. A well-trained dog has freedom & opportunity an untrained dog won’t ever know.
✅ Very few dogs in society are over-achievers. Training provides a means for a dog to problem solve. They are highly intelligent mammals that get a great deal of stimulation out of training games/skills/exercises.
✅ Training is a key component when developing dogs for dog sport. Dog sport is one of the best ways we can build fitness/strength, challenge/stimulate them & create a high level of fulfillment.
✅ We use training & conditioning to reduce stress at vet/grooming visits & in the world in general. The world becomes a safer place in their eyes.
✅ We utilise training to assist dogs with problematic behaviours.
✅ Training allows us to communicate very clearly during day to day life, creating harmony in the household.
Start small. Build a basic plan & build on it over time. Ultimately for this process to succeed we humans need to develop new habits. Find a trainer who motivates you in the right way & keep developing the dog throughout their life.

My Dog Begs at the Table!?
Buddy explains how to train a dog to really love begging at the table.
Well…he explains how that behaviour gets so strong, and how you can you use it to your advantage or disadvantage in all your training.
He's also trying his hand in method acting. We love the commitment.
