Dog Jogs

🛑Hooooooold on a second. Have you ever thought... "I can't hire Dog Jogs because my dog is reactive" this doesn’t have to be true. Joggers ensure to be aware of their surroundings with your pet and ensure there's enough distance between a 'trigger' to prevent a reaction. Giving enough space between what's making your pet uncomfortable, gives Joggers the opportunity to treat/positively associate 'triggers'. Practice makes perfect! More opportunity to show your pup that not all 'scary things' are scary, the better! That’s why we are so passionate about helping pets that are reactive. We love watching them grow! We now also offer maintenance walks

Here it is, we’re telling you exactly what you need to get your dog or cat set up for services! Their up-to-date vaccinations (or titre test)- because we are an insured business we require proof of vaccinations for pets who will leave their property. Pull out your records and upload them to your account or email your vet and have them email them to us! Might sound weird but a video of unlocking your door REALLY helps us! Some doors need to be pulled on and lifted to get it to open, not all keyless entry work the same (do you press the lock or unlock- it’s never the same!) We upload this video to your file so our team can watch it and not contact you about gaining access to your home and pet! Video or even a picture of where you keep your pet’s things (cleaning supplies come in handy too) Our staff don’t like feeling like they are invading your space to look for things so having a picture/video also our team! Remember, even if it seems like this is a lot of work, you CAN do this! Promise it only takes a few minutes and helps us take care of your furbaby and your home!

😩 Tired of leash pulling during walks? Check out my list of must-dos for training a ready position to help teach your dog where you want them to be on walks 👇👇 Start with a 1.8 meter leash and a treat pouch Then leash up and begin by walking around the house for the least amount of distractions possible Attach a cue to this ready to walk position (example "lets go"). This can be done by saying their cue word then when they go to you side mark it eith either "yes" or your clicker and then give them a treat. Keep walking then add direction changes. It can be mid stroll or when they reach the end of the leash. Say their ready position cue then with a treat lure them to follow you. Utilize wide angles if they tend to walk at the end of the leash. Remeber whenever they go beside you mark it with then treat. Once walking around, the house is going well, then take it up a level by going outside, but try going somewhere with limited distractions. Once that goes well, then train by going on a regular walk. Initially, make sure the walks are during low traffic times so as not to add too many distractions. Then, when that goes well, slowly progress to normal walk times. **Tip** The aim is to condition gentle pressure to evoke directional changes, so avoid jerking the leash. If your dog is super distracted, it may be too distracting of an environment, so train with lower distractions like the house or yard *** Get started today with these tips and tricks or leave the word help! in comments for one of our trainers to reach out with more info! #YegDogJogs #YegDogTraining #YegDogTrainer #YegDogs

Pet parents, have you tried teaching your dogs not to pull on a walk but haven't been successful? 🤔 If you want a dog that doesn't pull you on your walk, then you need our training services! We can train you to train your dog, or we can train your dog with our training walks. Why your dog should have loose leash manners? Safety:walking calmly on loose leash reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, promoting a safer and more controlled walking experience for both the dog and the owner. Positive social interactions: dogs that walk politely on a loose leash are more relaxed and less reactive., leading to more positive social interactions and experiences during walks, as well as improved opportunities for socialization in various environments. Improved communication and bonding: learning to walk on a loose leash strengthens the communication and bond between dog and owner, enhancing trust and cooperation.

Sidewalks, school fields, and other public places are great ON-LEASH adventure locations! These spaces are also shared with pups (and people) who may be sensitive to other dogs or just want some extra space while they enjoy the outdoors! If you and your pup want to go for off leash adventures: 1️⃣ Practice recall on leash first 2️⃣ Go to a POSTED off leash area 3️⃣ Keep high value treats and/or toys on you And remember, off leash adventures - or interactions with other dogs - isn't for every pup! Even if your pup loves them , following these simple steps allows those who don't the ability to enjoy the outdoors peacefully! Am I right or am I right? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Comment Trainer and I’ll get you all the info you need.

Send us a message, we’d love to get “stuck in traffic” with them.
