Pack Walk is a Go!
We’re going to head out despite the grey clouds. Hopefully if we get anything it will just be drizzle.
Meet at dogford dog park parking lot :)
Bring poop bags, treats, water if you think your dog needs it.
See you there!
Reactivity is a complex behaviour, but there are a few key strategies to help your dog through it. Movement is very important in keeping ypour dog calm, collected and focused.

Some heelwork in public with Terry! It took us a month outside the store before he was ready to go in, always set the foundation before you set expectations.#DogTraining #DogTraining #DogTrainingJourney #smalldogs
🌸Spring into Training Challenge #4🌸
The last trick and Baldur's personal favourite, Tunnel! Thank you everyone for following along! Remember, these are just fun tricks and are meant to give you an activity to work on and bond together with your dog. If it's not fun it's not worth doing!

🌸Spring into Training Challenge #3🌸
Ready for some spring cleaning? This trick is best for dog who already know how to fetch. When teaching dogs something new, if the dog is higher energy and interested in the task, I like to set the dog up to successfully work out what it is I want them to do. This is a method of teaching called "Free Shaping".

🌸Spring into Training Challenge #2🌸
Here's a fun one! Chin is a cute trick not only for taking photos but it has body handling applications. This trick is easier for dogs who understand targeting concepts. Post all your adorable chin photos and remember to use the hashtag #springintotrainingchallenge
🌸Spring into Training Challenge #1🌸: Directional Casting!
Here's an engaging exercise for dogs familiar with following a lure. Prior knowledge of the place command can be beneficial. I personally use "place" as my verbal cue and use pointing gestures to direct my dogs to the correct bed or surface.
The key distinction in this exercise is that you are training your dog to pay attention to your directional signals instead of repeatedly heading to a specific spot.
