We had a fantastic puppy class that emphasized human-to-dog socialization. We practiced swapping handlers to ensure puppies get used to being handled by different people, which is crucial for their interactions with vets, groomers, people they're going to interact with around them, and trainers. We paid close attention to each puppy's comfort levels and taught them how to settle when excited.
Additionally, we worked on engagement exercises, place training, and focus work, and everyone made great progress. I'm incredibly proud of each participant's development.
Out next set of classes are due end of June or early July!

During this activity, we engaged with a young Rottweiler pup who seemed uneasy about hands approaching over his head. Observing his body language, we noticed a mix of curiosity and hesitation. It's crucial to transform this into a positive experience, employing food and desensitization methods. Refinements of this exercise will be necessary for extremely nervous puppies.
Our next set of classes:
End of June or early July 2024

🐕THIS...🐕
We're thrilled to have started our puppy class!
It's the first of many, and we're really focusing on fun activities to engage amongst other puppies.
It's all about getting them moving and making sure they're connected with their owners.

Full on hunt mode, in the middle of prey drive, chasing a #deer .... Moment of truth for training.
You can prepare and do a lot of drive control, you can simulate situations by throwing your dog in and out of drive. But, all that prep can go out of the window when there is something just absolutely temping, tapping into #natural drives and #instincts of the dog.
My dog is extremely #prey motivated over animals, and this is where practice comes into work. 100% vocal recall, off of #chasing a deer. This is why I built a rock solid come when called #onlineprogram. Many people would have been going for an unscheduled #woods #hike.

BK9 Training tip:
Whatever your dog is assuming, do the opposite!
No sequence training allows you to target specific points in training ig you are fully conscious, consistent, and aware that your dog is doing in every single moment of their training.
Keep your analytical skills on point and learn to react from what you observe!
#bk9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dog #dogs #obedience #k9 #learning #flow #technical
Sweet dreams are made of these kind of insyant recalls!
Happy dogs, reliable freedom, any breed or lifestyle.
You don't have to wait forever for results, but you have to connect and make a bond that's unbreakable. This is achieved through training, management and technique.
We followed the story of a dog named Atlas, start through finish in distraction and environments to catalog all training in different scenarios in our Online program, "Come When Called."
She wasn't my dog, but the results speak for themselves. She's living an amazing life, off leash, happy and with solid recall, anywhere.
Come join us on that incredible journey!

Keep it Clean and not LAZY!
Overfeeding and long sessions make for dull training.
To avoid rewarding lackluser response from your dog, opt for:
1. QUALITY food and rewards!
2. SHORT sessions!
3. Energized movements!

How LoNg are your tRaInIng Sessions❓️
This is a common one and let me tell you that it's all about quality over quanitity here! 🏅This transpires to my pet cilents and working clients alike! 🐶🐺
🔴 Quality is key! Ensure that you are building your skills and that they are on point when working with your dog.
🔴 Analyze! Know what you're aiming for and what progress looks like in your dog's training. Keep the goals in sight!
🔴 Less is more! I used to 'over-train' my dog - to the point where he was a bit tired. Shift your mindset to understanding the process and that each training session is going to be a stepping stone. ALWAYS end on a HIGH note- when your dog nails something!
Watch your trianing evolve to never before! 💗

Fulfillment comes in many forms, and it doesn't always have to be "genetic fulfillment". 😊
👩🎓Working with your dog so they can achieve a base level of obedience (come, sit or down stay, street heel or loose heel), makes for a dependable dog off leash, which makes for a free, reliable dog. No stress. They will always respond when you call or give command while keeping their full personality intact. But that relies on YOU! Why? You have to show your dog and teach them HOW to react/respond while maintaining a great connection.
It's not exactly about the tools you use, even though they can be an amazing aid in the process, it's about how you interact, how you engage your dog and how valuable you make your time with them. ✨️ Do you work with their food, their ball, their treats? Are you Animated in your interaction? Do you use what you need to keep them safe? Do you take specific one on one time with them to increase the bond. Dog's love doing things.
Have fun, be energetic, play with them, run with them, take them on an adventure where they can use their senses. 🏃♀️
Train the basics so you can achieve successful obedience in any environment.💗

It's important to know...⬇️
🔴We are in the early stages but not the very beginning in this demo.
🔴 Dog completely understands what the release marker means. If your dog has a clear understanding, they should "Pop" out of position and anticipate the reward.
🔴 We keep at each lesson until the dog is completely comfortable with the exercise! Don't move to next stages until your dog has mastered each one!

💕It really hit me....💕
Don't blink or you can miss it...
One day, just petting him and looking in his eyes, realizing how short they are here in comparison to our lives. Just doesn't seem fair.
I wish they lived longer. The bond you share with an animal is not measurable, yet there is a deep connect. They heal us in ways we cannot fathom.
I'm just so thankful to have this dog part of my life, and will always cherish this being with my heart.
I have been so fortunate to already go on such amazing adventures with him, traveled part of the world with him and have the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people with the most wonderful connections. ❤
Thank you 💙Blue boy Vykör🖤
