07/08/2024

Great discussions about drive development and maintaining focus while working with your dog. If your dog has a high ball or prey drive, it can sometimes interfere with learning new behaviors.

What does this mean?

- Is the ball drive too intense?
- Are you struggling with unwanted behaviors when the ball is present?
- Are responses too sloppy or shortcuts being taken for the reward (ball)?
- Are you too sloppy with handling the ball?
- Is there a lack of a clear "out" or "drop it" command?

If you’re answering yes to these questions, how do you break down the high-value reward to effectively train your dog?

Do you keep the high-value reward in your pocket until the behavior is completed? If so, how do you manage distractions if a ball is present?

These are common concerns for this dog's owner, and I'm sure others may struggle the same.

We don't want to diminish the drive, but we also want to avoid regressing in established behaviors and responses.

So, what’s the solution?

We have a system designed to channel that drive into positive outcomes while keeping drive intact. This involves maintaining high standards without shortcuts, which requires skill, timing, and education on the owner's part. Isolating and separating particular things so there are no foggy areas for both owner and dog. Our approach focuses on clarity, building confidence, and fostering a strong relationship with your dog.

We are on the 4th week, and it's been a wonderful group!

We're going to soon do another puppy class mid or late Aug to Sept and plan to deepen dive into things so useful for your pup's future.

I had a wonderful opportunity last night to not only watch the Lunenburg premiere of "Great White North" but also to meet the main crew in front of the camera for the new 'Shark Week' docu-series on Discovery.

There were many fascinating questions about the Great White Sharks in our Nova Scotia waters. I learned that there are many more than expected, including some that have been spotted as far in as Maitland Bridge (Liverpool) and into Lunenburg Harbour. They are being catalogued through images, and those that can have trackers successfully placed on them as well.

Though it is not entirely certain how many are in our local waters, I got to talk one-on-one with the Director of 'Great White North,' Producer from Tell Tale Productions, as well as the Tech Expert, to specifically ask them dog-related questions for our beloved pets who enjoy coastal waters.

They mentioned that very shallow water is okay, but some of them will never take their dogs back in the water again. They also noted that the shark's preferred attack method is to come straight up from the bottom and along the shore where seals tend to reside.

One important thing I learned is that if you see a seal or seals in the water, which we have a population of half a million, it's wise to get out and get your dog out too(ASAP), as sharks are usually not far away.

It was a great evening, and I feel fortunate to have had the chance to ask questions to leading experts documenting their expedition and research.

There’s something truly captivating about the soulful eyes of a senior dog. Mishka is one of those special dogs who, despite her age, still loves the outdoors. During my visit to Ontario for our obedience and protection workshop, I had the privilege of capturing these precious moments for Brent and Sarah. Mishka’s loving nature made this session unforgettable ❤

The muzzle. 😱

Amazing, valuable tool. Often seen as negative for those less understanding, but it's absolutely the opposite. When you see a dog in a muzzle, this means that the dog IS loved. Whoever owns this dog or is training this dog, truly cares for this dog.💖

We were at the vets, and it's a responsible measure to do this. With proper training and intro, this can be comfortable for them while maintaining safety for them and around them.

Because he's trained to wear them, this is one less stress for him, keeping all of his vet visits a positive space. 🏥 He can wear a basket muzzle or his protection muzzle (seen here... and yes, we know he looks like Hannibal 🙄). We had to get pretty close to his face, with some direct handling and pokes, so we opted for this muzzle in particular, where it was for a very short time. Many can use a sturdy basket style muzzle.

No matter what breed you have, dogs can become stressed with things they're not continually going to or comfortable with. Especially when they're going to a place with their space being invaded and usually poked at. One way you can absolutely help them, is by handling and rewarding, as well as getting them muzzle trained. Take small steps and make it rewarding. You only need 3-7 min of training a day to get started. If your dog is uncomfortable, you may be moving too fast for them. Take smaller steps while making progress.

As for our vet visit, this dog is cherished. This dog is loved and he was pitch perfect for his handling, because we prepared in a multitude of ways to make all these visits flow.

Thank you SSV for your kindness and services.

Limited spaces available for our ~Free~ Evaluations, so don’t hesitate to book your space. We love working & look forward to dedicated owners who are looking for real world results and a happy reliable dog. Sign up via our website! Have an amazing day! Becky Herman www.bk9.ca Photo Information: Jetta (left) & R***r (right) Jetta - started our puppy-hood to adulthood training after she was returned to the breeder from a previous home and then re-homed. She started training at about 4 months with her current owners. She didn’t have any form of training with a lot in her previous home and left a few challenges and behaviors to work through. With our private lessons, we were able to cover a lot and then with group classes and hiking adventures, we proofed the rest of the behaviors in real life distraction. It’s a total blast to have Jetta on these hikes and groups and still attends them today! Now she’s a very happy, free dog that comes when called, excellent around children and just an awesome family dog. Way to go Ashlee and Jetta! R***r - also started our puppy to adulthood training from the time he was 10 weeks old. The goal was for him to be a great all found family dog including with the grand-kids and a wonderful companion that they could trust to take outside with them and anywhere they go. We started R***r off on the right foot and had him reliably off leash by the time he was 6 months old - which is amazing and can happen with dedicated owners. He was able to run in a wide open field with or without other dogs or animals and know that he was going to come back to his owner, every time, on the first command! He’s truly a great all around dog, gentle spirit and we have accomplished our goals with him and more! His owners take him everywhere they go and they receive the question “is he a service dog” because of how well behaved he is when he’s ‘working’ in public. R***r is a lot of fun on our BK9 hikes & Group Classes with complete off leash obedience and freedom. Amazing work Nicole & R***r! Want to get started with your puppy? You wont regret our puppy program! www.bestk9.ca
