Living in an apartment building or condo (usually) means having to take the elevator multiple times per day. Elevators can be stressful for dogs because they never know whatโs going to be on the other side of the door. Some dogs become fearful, some aggressive, and some way too over excited. Itโs important to always practice good manners (loose leash heel and calm sit) when entering, riding, and exiting an elevator. Not just for your dog, but also for the other residents in the building, some who may not like or be afraid of dogs, or who may like dogs but donโt want one jumping all over them. #urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogstrainersoftiktok #balancedtraining #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #torontodogtrainer #mississaugadogtraining #gtadogtrainer #trainyourdog #reallife #reallifedogtraining #apartmentlife #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtrainersofig #jackrussell #bordercollie #australianshepherd #beagle
Flashy things like tricks and recalls are really cool to see (and practice!), but the โboringโ stuff is just as important. A bomb proof stay amidst distractions is so important and makes life so much easier. Having people over for dinner, chatting with a neighbour, or (in the case here with Artemis) packing up the car and chatting before saying good byes after camping with the family for a couple days, a solid stay means not having to stress about the dog. #urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogstrainersoftiktok #balancedtraining #balanceddogtraining #torontodogtrainer #mississaugadogtraining #gtadogtrainer #trainyourdog #reallife #reallifedogtraining #australianshepherd #bordercollie #jackrussell #beagle #dogtrainersofinstagram
When giving commands from in front, dogs sometimes move towards their handler. Practicing these commands with your dog on a raised surface, like this rock in a nearby park, can help โfixโ the forward movement. #urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogstrainersoftiktok #balancedtraining #balanceddogtraining #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainersofinstagram

Ila has made such awesome progress on her recall these past few weeks! Going from failing at a recall from a sit stay (easiest way to do a recall) due to a distraction elsewhere in the field to being able to be recalled while in a free and playing with a ball (very difficult!). So proud of Ila & her parents!#urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogstrainersoftiktok #balancedtraining #balanceddogtraining #recalltraining
Been on a bit of a hiatus while I was pregnant. I recently gave birth to my daughter & 2 days after her birth, once released from the hospital, my husband and I dropped by my parentsโ house to let Artemis & my parentsโ dog Ozzie meet baby Amelia (I was in the fortunate position to have my parents take care of Artemis for 2 weeks - the week of my induction & the first week home with the baby). Artemis is excited and really interested in the stroller, but part of training is not letting her jump up, right from the beginning. Ozzie is barely interested at all. ๐ #urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer
Training Hudson: how it started vs how itโs going. Nice loose leash, focus on owner. Not bothered by the other dogs around him or even Artemis running right between him and his owner.
Special thanks to Renata and Loki and Anne and Ozzie for helping out. ๐ถโค๏ธ

Advanced class mingled heeling ๐ฏ off-leash. Total focus on their owners & not worrying about other dogs passing within feet or INCHES. #urbanpawsk9 #dogtraining #obediencetraining
Last Sunday Hudson learned how to sit. One command, never repeated, always praised.
Advanced dogs doing recalls between two lines of dogs! #dogtraining #dogtrainer
First day I met Sully, he dragged his owners into the school. They loved him, but HATED going for walks. A couple weeks later and he now heels beautifully. His owners now enjoy walking with him. Heโs still very friendly but knows he canโt drag mom and dad down the street to meet other people. He stays at his dadโs (or momโs) heels and greets people only when dad or mom say itโs ok.
