LOVE this part of spring...makes me smile everytime😁 These horses may be old but they know how to party about being pastured for the summer🐎
Merry Christmas and blessed New Year from us and our animals to all the pups out there! (And their humans) ❄️💕
Best way to start the day is by waking up and feeding all the animals😁
Working on Jasper's 'stay' and 'come' in an open field with lots of distractions. It's so important to get them to listen in all sorts of environments.
Such a good boy!😊
Leave it.
I recorded this for a client that was having trouble with their pup picking everything off the sidewalk. That's not what we want at all🧐
1. Tone is huge. As controversial as this is I believe dogs are tough enough to take a firm voice from us once in a while.
2. Patience and practice😊
Daisy goes to her forever home this week so we are practicing her paces super hard.
She needs to follow my pace no matter how fast or slow and she needs to stop and sit when I stop...no matter how long or short I stop. She is acing it when it comes to this test😁😁
Mondays are often a clean up day and reset from the weekend around here. Washing in and around their crates, doing laundry and resetting for the week.
Taz and I got our walk in this morning before the rain came. So much easier to leash train in the summer!

Soaking up these warming days by off leash training in town😁👏
This afternoon's "Leave it" session.
Z can do it when I just drop the treat in his lap.(experienced pro;)
Today is Ace's first day that I can leave the treat uncovered or out of my hand in front of him and he leaves it!!👏😁
.
.
Note how I never let them take the treat off the floor but instead I always pick it up? This is because I need them to know when I say leave it they are not allowed to.touch unless I hand it to them. This will save them eating socks, dropped food etc.
Tonight's supper served on an oven grate and in a shuffle mat! Oven grate to get their toes used to different surfaces, shuffle mat because it's a great way to exercise their brains! . .#training #foodtime
I need to get a tripod for my phone...not so great at the one handed for two pups thing🤦♀️
.
.in other news they are both doing fantastic with down stays. Smart little peanuts😁
