My crew had SO much fun Hands Off Zoom Park. Nothing like seeing a neglected dog run free for the first time. ❤️

4 dogs of different ages and breeds. Each one enjoyed the flirt pole. 🐶🐶
Spent some quality time with my own pups today. Bo did some confidence work, impulse control and place sends over food. Focused on having fun with Lucy and working on engagement. 🤗

Tried something new! Just in time for this cold weather. Both my pups have been on a slat mill before but Bo really surprised me! He was keeping up a good pace. Lucy needs a bit more motivation (food) but ran as well.
If any of my clients are interested in trying this, reach out to the page/check out their website.
Why train recall? So on those cold days you can find a secluded place and just let the dogs run without worry or stress. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Testing our engagement and off leash heel. 🙌🏻 Lucy has bombproof recall and almost has her off leash heel mastered so I let her go ahead of us while I focused on Bo. He did so good, look at that eye contact and focus. 🤗

Struggling on walks? Dog overexcited when they see the leash? Extreme puller? Over excitement and lack of engagement can contribute to reactivity or lack of leash manners while out walking. Set your dog up to succeed by working on engagement and calm behavior prior to leaving the house. 🐾🐾
The art of doing nothing along with a strong place command.
This is my dogs on their place as a complete stranger does drywall repair in our home. You will see they relax as the video goes on regardless of the man working and making noise in the background. They stayed on their place when he entered the house and the entire time he worked because of a history of being rewarded. If this is something you would be interested in teaching your dogs reach out to me in the Spring when I add dog training services. 🐾
I had a few hours of downtime today so I worked one of my personal dogs on recall and engagement. No tools beside the long line, just verbal praise and a history of being rewarded. Livestock dog breeds are known for being independent therefore you have to work extra hard on recall, we are still a work in progress but I love that he chooses to stay close even when being told “break”. 🐾 of course he had to finish the session off with some snow angels. 🐕
That Sunday feeling.. ⚡️🐾
