Making space at the right moment by stepping off the sidewalk or switching your dog to the off side is a great management technique to advocate for him in tight spaces. Keeping your dog in a structured heel is a great obedience technique to structure your dog in the right body position. Keeping your dog in a calm state of mind is the BEST mindset technique for setting him up for success. The prerequisite for management and obedience techniques is to first have your dog in the right calm state of mind. Using only a management or obedience approach won’t stop reactive behaviour but using a mindset approach whereby we correct mental arousal will stop reactivity in its tracks. So make sure that you are setting your priorities correctly to get the best from your dog: 1/ state of mind 2/ management 3/obedience

Little video from Niko’s first recall session outside and working around distractions. In the past, Niko would book it and not come back so training him with a 100% reliable recall is a top priority! Great job Niko! 🧡🌟

Phil likes to scoot and dart hither and dither but he sometimes struggles to follow specific instructions like come right to me, or sit right here, or stay put right there and wait. So we’re working on all these finer points to make sure that he’s comfortable and consistent with his commands. In the video we’re working on him recalling to me and holding an implied stay until the next command rather then darting past me for the cot and dancing around 😂. Well done Philly!! 🌟💙

Please give a big warm welcome to Phil the 8 year old Border Collie! Phil is joining us for training to address some nuisance barking at people, doorbells, cars, or in anticipation of things happening. Phil has been chasing small animals and running off and not coming back when called. He has difficulty relaxing/unwinding (always on the ready to GO!), shows a lack of boundaries and has a fixation with turning wheels… oh so border collie of you Phil! 😂 Well handsome, you’re in the right place for some help with all of that! 🧡 Please stay tuned as Phil learns about all things calm, impulse controlled and good boy behaviour! Welcome Phil!! 🥰🐾

Please give a big warm welcome to Sonny the Golden Irish ☘️. Sonny completed his puppy basics training with us last summer and now he’s back for the rest of his training with our adult Ecollar program. Sonny will be learning all of his Ecollar obedience commands on and off leash including a reliable off leash recall and we’ll also be addressing any teenager silliness like jumping up. So happy to have you back for your next level of goodest boy education Mr. Sonny socks! ☘️💛

Unchecked mental arousal is the root of reactivity. Some dogs learn to be reactive through their experiences, some dogs are born pre programmed for intense mental arousal (working breeds!) and some dogs are a combination of it all to a lesser or greater degree. In any case, stop the mental arousal and the dog learns that he has other choices! And one of those choices is to calmly coexist with stuff instead of reacting to it. Most reactive dogs don’t even realize that walking away from or ignoring a trigger is an option until we show them how to make those different and better choices through training and then pattern that training over distance and time and distraction and of course sooooo many reps! Stay warm and bundled up today!! 🥶🐶

Please give a big warm welcome to Ripley the 1.5 year old who is joining us for training to work on some rather spicy reactivity and mindset issues! Ripley is reactive to anything that moves quickly (cars, bikes, kids playing, skateboards, etc.) and he gets dangerously intense fast!
Please stay tuned to watch him learn about all things calm and impulse controlled and how to calmly and politely coexist with those triggers instead of losing his 🌶️💩 at them!
So happy to have you with us, Ripley!

I absolutely love the follow command when hiking off leash because it allows me to keep the dog safe and close by and I can easily keep tabs on his mindset and make adjustments as needed. Have a look at Jack showing off his beautiful follow in the video 🩶

In the video I’m demonstrating how I get Jack out of his crate and dressed. This is another critical ‘small’ moment that builds the foundation for our bigger moments. This simple task was very challenging for Jack who wanted to rush frantically out of the crate which is why I make him to do it right Every. Single. Time. We take our dogs out of the crate and across important thresholds multiple times per day and probably hundreds of thousands of times in their lives… that’s a lot of small moments to invest in a dog’s behaviour by practicing the right calm stuff and correcting the frantic pushy rude stuff. Progress is made by leaning into the hard things and doing the work there until they become the easy things. Don’t rush through it and don’t settle for ‘good enough’ because your repeated choices in all the small and challenging moments are where real change happens and becomes the determining factor in the big moments 😉.
