You don’t need a large space or a lot of expensive equipment. If it fits you and them that’s all they need. Read a book while your dog chews a bone or something. It’s just one piece of the puzzle.

To create a curious dog instead of a fearful one we need to reward small acts of bravery.

I hate squeaky toys so much. My dog becomes unrecognizable with one. I could use obedience to ask for the out but that would validate his fear that I will take it. Behaviour modification is about changing emotions surrounding a behaviour for long term results.

You don’t need elaborate equipment. Make it up with what you have…boxes as tunnels, tables to jump on, hockey sticks or brooms to jump over etc. get them used to their bodies, to following cues. It’s great fun for their bodies and their minds.

Start small and build on it. Sometimes steps back are needed and that’s ok. If your dog fails lower the board and try again.

Bash knows this game but today he forgot lol.

Why do dogs make it so hard lol.

If any of these things are preventing you from playing with your dog I encourage you to start addressing them one by one.

Now the dog has all the skills to be a safe playmate. Be proactive with your dog. Teach them the rules and skills of play so you can sit back and relax.

Now he plays with us instead of vs us. If your play looks like a battlefield and you’re losing it’s time to work on it.

How can your dog play nicely and safely if you’ve never taught them how? Be proactive instead of reactive. Give them the skills then layer in the energy and play becomes fun for everyone.

Not all can play nicely. There are rules to playing safely so everyone has fun. Start small and quiet. Get your dog used to the rules and grow it from there.

Stop it before it becomes a problem and your freezing your hands off. If your dog does get a mitt don’t make it a game of chase…just trade them for some food and take that as a sign you need to train it some more. 🥶🥶

No cues are given. We just ask that the dog is aware of our movements and matches them. I use a long leash for this so the choice is his. Remember you may have to match your dogs energy in the beginning and increase rewards then slowly bring them down to your level. Good luck.

Take advantage of the 8-16 week mark and get your puppy used to our crazy human world. Lots of food, lots of play and they will learn to function in chaos.

Our puppies are always learning. It’s up to us to make sure they are learning the world is a great place.

Adding in the orbit. He’s almost got it. Thanks Susanne😍

I wasn’t sure his fluffy butt would make it….he’s awesome.

Bash has lovely adaptive play skills so here he is teaching 2 littermates how to play and building their confidence (separately) around other dogs.

He’s a chatty one🤪

Puppy environmental session. It’s crucial you get your puppy out into the world so they learn what’s expected of them in public. They were both rockstars and the engagement was epic.

Flying with your dog✈️ my dog is well trained but not a service dog. I would never ever pretend otherwise to get him onboard with me. Baggage is fine for us.

A common bite myth I hear more often than I’d like. Let’s put it to rest once and for all.

Sweet recall! 🐾

Food in Training! This is one of the best trainers in the industry using ample food to build value in a position. I always wonder why it’s what I get questioned on the most??? They are dogs and dogs love food! I’ll never understand why people hesitate to use what works.

Reactivity Training. The trigger has become the cue to check in and he’s nailing it🐾
