Struggling with your dog to pay attention to you while you’re in a public place?
Over excited, overwhelmed dogs will struggle paying attention when there too many distractions so this fun little game brings them back to focus on you and help them settle.
Asking for a “hop up” on anything a rock, stump, bench will bring the focus back on you and you can play this over and over until focus is regained.
I found this stump in a field and it worked perfectly. We had used this stump at the beginning of the walk and Sprocket did great… this video was on the way back and he was a bit tired 🥱
Have fun with your hop ups!

Does your dog race to the kitchen when they hear something hit the floor?
For safety reasons I have taught my dogs to leave it when things drop. Moto was very bad for diving at any items that hit the floors and as you can imagine it can be dangerous if medication falls out of your hand or anything that they are not to have.
You can easily teach a dog that “stuff” is yours until you allow them to have it. There’s a few steps involved in this but this can be the result.

Sprocket’s round - as you can see he caught on pretty quickly.

As promised I am posting up day 3 of nail scratch board.
The proper way to teach this is to teach the to dig. However Slicks doesn’t get it - so I got her standing on a flat board - once she got that I started elevating it. She walks on it instead of scratching… but it’s an improvement over yesterday where she just sniffed for treats and uses her nose. She did get one scratch in the so small improvement from yesterday. As you can see I’m rolling the treat down the board because this is getting a wee bit of a scrape when she gets down. I’m definitely no expert at this- we are learning as we go because she’s such a hard case and really takes her a bit to get things.
This video was quite long I cut it down as it was a lot of her just walking around sniffing.

Sprocket has been perfecting his bounce catch… when I get a good throw in, he likes to catch it after it hits the ground!
Who else has a dog that likes to play fetch?
We play with “the toy” most everyday. Sprocket loves it… Slicks well Slicks will run after the ball but she’s not a fan of bringing it back. She mostly just likes to run with her toy in her mouth. So she does her.
Fetch engages so many skills and impulse control… Sprocket is still a work in progress with skills like staying until I give him a release- especially if I throw something at him or over him… if I throw it away from him he can keep himself in check. This fetch play is straight after I got home from work so was more of just a fun game then a training session.
Asking more from your dog while you play is so much fun. You can teach so many skills while playing a game like fetch. Drop it, sit before the throw, bring it, find it (Sprocket will often have to go find his toy before we begin play) you can teach to only run on a release command, and stop while on route to the toy. Lots of things to build on.
Have fun playing with your dogs it’s fun for everyone!

Slicks was a trooper yesterday. We had a long walk through narrow hallways. She’s starting to get in the groove of hotel life. Still a bit barky in the room when she’s hearing noises but we are working on it.
We are at the halfway mark today, we’re in Thunder Bay Ontario.
#reactivedog #crosscanadaroadtrip #motovateddogtraining
In your best Forrest Gump accent “they are running fools!”
I thought Slicks was gonna hit me but she did manage to squeeze past at the very last second.

Homework time!!!!
I was working today with Slicks on her “Place” and “Break” commands. As you can see she’s doing ok- except she’s still pretty sniffy after the break.
I am also trying to keep her from jumping up to grab the treat- this is an ongoing problem I have had with her and I think it’s been part of her starvation/food aggression issues- she’s desperate to get that food.
I delay rewarding her until she has all 4 paws on the ground. I also delay giving her the treat because she is snappy taking the treat- so I don’t release the treat until she licks- hence my hand staying put when I’m rewarding her.
Work in progress…. But she’s getting much quicker!

Even a little Emergency Stop command work!!!!
Spending time in distracting environments working on your skills is super important- there many stores that will let dogs in, so take advantage and do some skills in there.
As part of our Puppy Programs we do our final exam with a walk through of Canadian Tire- just so you can see where you need to put more work in!

I didn’t video this last week- but Mai (Husky) had her first playtime last week. Was extremely shy, nervous and tail between her leg, barking at all the puppies. Today she came out of her shell and played!
Well done Mai!
This is a reminder to get your puppies socialized- it’s so important for their confidence building and social skills!
