Trainer Tip Tuesday:

Management is your friend!

Whether you have a new puppy, a dog going through adolescents, or an adult who needs some guidance to be successful, management benefits everyone.

You can manage your dog in many ways, using gates and xpens, crates, and leashes.

These prevent unwanted behaviours from being practiced, such as destructive chewing, cat chasing, counter surfing, and so much more.

Wiley here is tethered within eye sight with a collagen chew in a holder while I cook supper. This way, he can see what's going on around him and learn that it's not 'dog time' and not get into trouble while being out of his crate.

How do you use management to train or prevent behaviours from being practiced?

A lot of you know how important Autism Dog Services' program is to me. I've been working with them for over 10 years now. They have an online auction with many amazing prizes including 4 x 1hr or 8 x 30min private lessons with me. Valued at $270, the current bid is only $60 so you could not only help a great program provide service dogs to children and adults with autism but also get an amazing deal!!

Please share!
