Happy Puppy Training

22/06/2025

Frustrated with your reactive dog? Don't wait until it's too late! Over the years I've had several calls from people who ask about training (for something that can be fixed) but decide to rehome instead because they have lost their patience, energy, desire, etc from dealing with the frustration for too long.
Reactivity can be fixed! And it can be done in a stress-free, compassionate, ethical way that strengthens your relationship with your dog.
This Thursday, Come learn about what's going on in your dog's brain and how you can help transform them to becoming the companion you dreamed of having without using punishments or corrections.
**No dogs please**

On our way home after a successful training session! Clover is working on her reactivity to pretty much everything. Today she watched several bikes and kids go by and didn't react to any of them! She has come a long way!!👏🏽🥰

Clover has been working very hard on her people reactivity. Last night she was an absolute super star. There were some kids playing street hockey in front of the neighbour's house, which is usually triggering from far away but she came out of the house, looked at them, ate a treat and got in the car. We went to a quiet park to practice not losing her brain whenever she hears noises and she was so responsive! We watched a family walk through the park like it was no big deal. She turned away from distractions as soon as I asked her to. Clover often goes through the world hunched, looking for danger so we've been working hard on getting a more relaxed posture when she's out. She was completely relaxed, tail up and feeling confident! She has come a long way and I'm so proud of her!

The extra hens have meant more training for Millie and she is doing great. Yesterday she actually had a few minutes of actual relaxation while our original little flock ran around the yard

This is a really good explanation of what a dog's tail position means. Every dog owner should know this! A wagging tail does not always mean a happy/friendly dog.

Working on holding a sit until released. My dogs don't know "stay", they just know to hold the sit until I release them. Having me run away is a good exercise in impulse control and sometimes it's so hard for them! But I make sure practicing it is fun and they're getting really good at it!
