Dog training and walking in Taber, AB and surrounding area.

Bruno had a huge success this week. We had been working on getting him in a good headspace in a new place and as we were nearing the end of our session, kids started arriving for football practice. Bruno was able to watch them get out of their vehicles without reacting and was able to eat treats in the grass knowing that they were not too far away. Normally at this distance he would be having a complete meltdown. We were so proud of him

Clover and I went down to the MD to practice being around people. She was confident and calm, even when two excited kids on bikes rode in our direction yelling to their parents that they'd found a frog! They rode right past us and Clover happily ate cheese and completely ignored them. What a difference we're seeing in how she responds to the world around her!

This is what disengagement looks like. The ability to walk past something without giving it a second thought.
When we first got the chickens and then again when we got the guinea fowl, we spent hours and hours working on disengagement. We made sure we disengaged from them when they were in the coop, when they were walking around, when they were eating quietly, when they were squawking, when they were flying, etc. Toby is now able to be out, off-leash when they are free-ranging and we don't need to worry about him because he has learned to fully disengage from them.
It is the same process for any animal that you want your dogs to get along with, not chase, and not bother. Over time they learn that movement doesn't equal arousal and that it's none of their business.

Little Theo graduated from training today! This little sweetheart was struggling with some reactivity when I started working with him but is now able to get along with the cat, other dogs and an uncle, who he has not been able to be around since day one. He is making great choices when he feels nervous and although he still needs to practice a little, his people have the tools to help him feel 100% around his triggers. He has come leaps and bounds and we are so proud of him!

Learning to ignore the new additions to our family. The dogs do really well with our free-ranging chickens but this year we added guinea fowl and they are a little different. They fly more and make more noise. We have been practicing ignoring them and the dogs are doing great! Still using leashes just in case but are completely ignoring the noises and activity. Sometimes they look up to see what's going on but then decide it's not worth their time, which is exactly what we want them to do!

Little Theo has been working on his reactivity the last few weeks. Today he had a walk with another dog and did amazing. He followed behind and got brave enough to sniff a few times and eventually they were walking side by side. He was totally calm and relaxed and had a really nice walk. (This is a dog he attacked the first time they met and this is one of the reasons his owner wanted some help with training). He is progressing in leaps and bounds and learning to be okay with all kinds of things!

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!!👏🏽🥰
