Dog Behaviour Training & More
Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is a characteristic of insanity. Just saying. ๐
Dogs arenโt ignorant. The situation is likely just too hard for them. Rather than repeating cues, think of ways you can set your dog up for SUCCESS! Help them figure out the right answer and then practice in many different places and contexts!

Thank you to Miss Behaviour for their continued support and fundraising!
Struggling to communicate with your dog? Try speaking their language! (HINT: dogs are non-verbal!)
Increasing quality sleep can help improve some unwanted behaviours. Naps are where itโs at! ๐ค
Take a guess! What TWO factors do you think are most important when working with a reactive dog?
Have you successfully trained reactivity out of your dog or are you still fighting for your life when they spot a rabbit before you do?! ๐ ๐ ๐๐ผ
Working with Milo on his reactivity. This is our 2nd session and first one venturing into the outdoors. The goal is to keep Milo under threshold. No learning or listening happens when a dog is over threshold. It looks boring and that is exactly the point! ๐ ๐ฉ ๐พ ๐พ
Omg I just had to share these two sweeties and the beautiful flowers they got for their Auntie Miss B today! Love my Gussy and Miley goofballs!
Donโt turn your dog into a smokie! ๐ญ
Expecting your dog to be perfect 24/7 is not realistic. Donโt forget that your dog is a dog! ๐พ ๐
What kinds of behaviours is your dog reinforcing?
Not bad considering this was a Level 3 difficulty for a Level 1 dog! Yay River! ๐พ โ๏ธ
At 5.5 years old, Buddy has likely lived his whole life with fear and anxiety, and not being able to communicate. But with new guardians who sought my help, in just two sessions heโs come so far with his confidence! Heโs learned sit, touch, bed and most importantly - that he can communicate with humans! Imagine living your whole life thinking no one could understand you ๐ฅน๐ญ

๐พ Happy Force-Free Friday, Pawesome Pals! ๐
Miss B is thrilled to celebrate another Force-Free Friday with all my fantastic fur friends! ๐ถโจ
๐ What is Force-Free Friday? It's a day dedicated to reinforcing positive, reward-based training methods that strengthen the bond between you and your furry best friend without any intimidation or force. ๐
๐ซ No yanks, no pulls, just positive vibes and wagging tails! ๐

Hey paw-some pals! ๐ถ๐ Has your fur-baby ever gone from 0 to 100 the moment there's a knock at the door or the doorbell rings? ๐ช๐
๐ Let's chat about the door dilemma! ๐ช๐ Our furry friends have this amazing talent of transforming into 'doorbell vigilantes' faster than a speeding squirrel! ๐ฟ๏ธ๐จ But fear not, because at Miss Behaviour, I've got the tricks and treats to turn your doorbell drama into a tail-wagging triumph! ๐๐
๐ฉโ๐ซ Miss B will teach your pup the art of chillin' when the doorbell rings โ no more barking bonanzas! ๐ค๐
๐ Bonus: Book now, and I'll throw in a FREE belly rub tutorial! ๐๐พ
Ready to bid adieu to the doorbell dilemma and welcome a calm, cool canine companion? ๐ชโจ Book with Miss B today and say good-bye to doorbell dread!
๐พ๐ฃ๏ธ Unlocking the Canine Code: Dogs Follow Sounds, Not Words! ๐๏ธ๐ถ
Contrary to popular belief, our canine companions don't grasp the meaning of words the way we do. Instead, they're masters at decoding sounds and associating them with actions or outcomes. ๐ถ๐
So, why not get creative with cues? ๐คฉ๐ You can name your dog's commands practically anything, as long as you consistently pair the sound with a specific behaviour and reward them for nailing it! ๐๐
For example, you could use "Banana" for sitting or "Moonbeam" for fetching! ๐๐ It's all about the positive reinforcement that follows, reinforcing the connection between the sound and the action. ๐๐ก
Remember, our four-legged friends aren't fluent in English, Spanish, or any other human language. They're fluent in the language of sounds, tones, and vibes! ๐ฃ๏ธ๐พ
Share your unique cues below! What quirky sounds or words do you use to communicate with your fur babies? ๐ถ๐ฌ
๐๐พ It's Force-Free Friday! ๐พ๐
Hey, incredible pet parents! ๐ถ๐ Today's tip is all about turning training sessions into a tail-wagging fiesta: Playful Paws! ๐โจ Because who said learning can't be a blast? ๐๐
๐พ Why Play Matters:
Joyful Learning: Incorporating play into training makes learning feel like a game, adding an element of joy to the process. ๐คธโโ๏ธ๐งก
Enhanced Bonding: Playing together strengthens the bond between you and your pup. It's like building a bridge of pawsitivity! ๐พ๐
Positive Associations: When playtime is part of the training equation, your pup associates training with fun, making them more eager to participate. ๐๐
๐ก Ideas to Infuse Play into Training:
Interactive Toys: Use toys that stimulate both the mind and body, turning play into a learning experience.
Tug-of-War Tricks: Transform tug-of-war into a mini training session. Teach commands like "drop it" and "take it" during play.
Hide and Seek: Hide treats or toys around the house, turning it into a playful scavenger hunt.
Obstacle Course Fun: Create a mini obstacle course using household items. It's a playful way to practice commands and agility.
Not sure if you're striking the right balance between work and play? Schedule a session with Miss B today and I'll help you find the sweet spot!
Remember, every wag, bounce, and play bow is a step towards a well-trained, happy pup! ๐ Share your own play-inspired training moments below, and let's keep the force-free fun rolling! ๐พ๐ฌ ๐พโจ
๐พ Deciphering Canine Communication: Why "YES" Outshines "NO" ๐ถ
Hello, fantastic dog parents! ๐พ Ever pondered what's going on inside your furry friend's mind when you utter the word "NO"? ๐ค Let's unravel the canine code together! ๐
๐ซ Dogs and Negatives: Lost in Translation ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
Fun fact: Our adorable companions find it tricky to understand negatives like "NO." ๐ซ They can't quite wrap their tails around the concept of not doing something. Unlike us humans, dogs don't naturally grasp the meaning behind the word. It's like explaining quantum physics to a pup โ a tad perplexing, isn't it?
๐ฏ Embrace the Positive: What TO Do Instead! ๐๐ถ
Here's the game-changer: Instead of repeatedly using "NO" for unwanted behaviours, let's shift our focus to what we want them TO do! ๐ฏ Positive reinforcement acts as the magical spell that turns your pup into a well-behaved superstar. ๐
โจ Teach, Reward, Repeat! ๐๐พ
๐ Prompt your pup to perform an action incompatible with the undesirable behaviour (jumping up? ask them to sit!)
๐ Shower them with praise, treats, or even some belly rubs.
๐ Observe as they happily repeat the desired behaviour!
๐ Pro tip: Swap out "NO" with clear commands they know, such as "Sit," "Down," or "Leave it." Your dog responds better when they precisely understand what you want them TO do.
๐ Remember, our four-legged pals thrive on positive vibes and clear communication. Let's shape a world of "YES" where good behaviour is celebrated and reinforced! ๐๐พ

๐พโจ Mythbuster Monday: Unraveling Paw-some Truths! โจ๐พ
Hello, fantastic fur-parents! ๐ This Mythbuster Monday, let's embark on a journey into the enchanting world of truths and discover how genetics plays a part, but doesn't dictate our furry friends' unique personalities! ๐งฌ๐
Myth: Same Breed = Same Disposition ๐คโ
Get ready for a truth bomb, because here it comes! ๐งจ Not all chihuahuas are born chatterboxes, poodles aren't all aspiring scholars, and huskies aren't genetically destined to pull sleds with precision.
๐งฌ๐ถ Enter the captivating realm of genetics! While our fur babies do inherit certain traits, it's not a personality script written in stone. Nature gives them a starting point, but the magic happens through the intricate dance of nature AND nurture! ๐ฑโค๏ธ
So, let's celebrate the beautiful mix of genetics and the unique experiences that shape our four-legged friends. They're like genetic masterpieces with their own brushstrokes of charm and quirkiness! ๐จ๐พ
Drop a paw emoji if you're ready to embrace the incredible journey of personality development in your fur baby! ๐พโจ
๐๏ธ๐ซ Decoding Doggie Dialogues ๐ซ๐๏ธ
Hello fantastic dog parents! ๐พโจ
Did you know your furry friend might find direct eye contact a bit intimidating? ๐ค Let's unveil the mystery together! ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ถ
In the canine world, sustained eye contact is often seen as a form of challenge or confrontation. ๐ซโ๏ธ Your pup is wired to interpret things a bit differently than we do, and staring, especially by strangers, can make them uneasy.
But here's the magic: as trust builds between you and your pup through force-free training and creating a strong bond built on positive reinforcement, they can learn to read your human eye contact in a positive light and will even begin to study your eyes for information! ๐๐ It becomes a beautiful language of love and understanding.
Miss B focuses on positive reinforcement and gentle methods to foster this trust. ๐๐ Imagine a world where your pup feels secure, loved, and can read your eyes like an open book. ๐๐พ Ready to explore more about doggy communication? ๐๐พ Shoot us a message or check out www.missbehaviouryeg.ca ! Let's create a delightful bond with your canine companion! ๐พ๐

Tip of the Day:
Consistency is KEY!
Hello, fantastic pet parents! ๐ถ๐ Today's tip of the day is a golden nugget of wisdom: "Consistency Counts!" ๐โจ Whether you're teaching new tricks or reinforcing good behaviour, embracing a consistent approach is your secret weapon for pawsitive results! ๐๐
๐ Here's the scoop:
Routine Reinforces Learning: Dogs thrive on routine. Consistent commands and rewards create a predictable learning environment, helping your furry friend understand what you expect.
Clear Communication: Consistency in your cues and body language ensures clear communication between you and your pup. It's like speaking the same language in the wonderful world of woofs! ๐ฃ๏ธ๐พ
Steady Rewards: Regular rewards for desired behaviour reinforce the connection between actions and positive outcomes. It's like a little celebration every time they get it right! ๐๐
Remember, a steady routine creates a comfortable space for your pup to learn and shine. ๐ So, whether it's morning commands, evening tricks, or everything in between, stay consistent, and watch the magic unfold! โจ๐
Not sure if it's you or the dog? Schedule a session with Miss B today and I'll help you get on the same page!
Share your own tips on maintaining consistency in training below, and let's build a force-free community of pawsitive pet parenting! ๐ก๐ฌ ๐พ๐

Hank did so great at his very first training session. Heโs a super smart little boy who was up for the challenge but now heโs down for the count. ๐คฃ๐ค๐ Mental stimulation is so important for helping your pup stay out of trouble and learn to live in a calmer state of mind. Dogs are very intelligent and problem solving is a super easy way to satisfy their need for mental stimulation. If they arenโt getting enough, theyโll find their own ways to keep busy (like Hank who has been passing the time by digging in plant pots). ๐ ๐ชด #doglover #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #mentalstimulationfordogs #dogsaretoosmart #smartdog #yorkiegram #yorkielovers #yegdoggos #yeg #yegdogs #yegdogtrainer #forcefreetraining #forcefreedogtraining
