Here are 3 dog walking Dos & Don’ts:

✅ Focus on how your dog is feeling every step of the way and how you can nurture happy and loose feelings
✅ Purposely select and walk in environments that feel doable for you both
✅ Reinforce and reward decisions made by your dog that you’d like to see more of

❌ Avoid putting tension or pressure on the leash
❌ Don’t ask your dog to stay still or sit when something concerns them
❌ Avoid using devices that cause discomfort or any type of mental or physical pain

The best way to get to know your dog is to present them with different options! 🐶❤️ For example, dogs enjoy snuffle mays more than food puzzles or vice versa. While for others it might depend entirely on their mood.

The good thing is that you can’t lose by giving your dog the opportunity to choose. Just be sure to put away said options once you’re both done making the most of them. That way your dog will find them interesting later on when you bring them back out!

The #1 value I teach new pet parents is to understand that their pup is not born knowing what to do. And the best way to have their puppy behave they way they’d like is by reinforcing those good choices. However little, insignificant or meaningless they may seem. ☺️🐶❤️

The more you let your puppy know what you like, the more they feel encouraged to do just that. And if ever it feels like they just can’t or don’t seem to understand what else to do, your pup may be trying to communicate something to you.

Commonly, your puppy might be trying to communicate to you that they’re bored (lacking proper physical, mental and social enrichment opportunities), overtired, afraid or simply unsure.

In any case, helping them do something that you both feel good about will help you reset, restart and get things right! 🌟

It’s important that you allow your dog moments to take it all in when you’re in social settings. We often rush to either get the walk over and done with, or to get to our destination. But part of the struggle for a lot of dogs is that the world around them moves incredibly fast, and it can be difficult for them to catch up.

So be sure to take advantage of your next walk and pause, let your dog process the moment and proceed at their pace. 👍🏼

Want to get two dogs to enjoy one another’s company a bit more? 🤔

Take them both out for an engaging but quick little hike! Especially with a second handler. Avoid face to face encounters unless the dogs are both very familiar and sure about one another.

Think of it the same way you think about going out for a fun activity like going to an amusement park with someone. Where there’s lots to see, think of, share and keep you distracted but not necessarily pressured to interact every moment.

Compared to a meeting or a face to face interview where you can’t really take a break or keep your body and mind moving forward in a pressure-free way.

Dog Barking: What Is My Dog Saying? 🤔 Growing up I often heard the saying, in Spanish, "Dog that barks, doesn't bite." And through the years, as a dog trainer, I've found that to be quite true. The key takeaway from that saying for me was not that a dog who barks will never bite, but rather that ...

Here's a quick little video showing exactly how I help my dogs when they bark!

The first and most important step is really to remind myself that my dogs aren't barking to annoy me or because of something I've done. But rather, they do so as a means to communicate a feeling and/or to simply alert!

Have a look at what I do next.

Let's get a few things out of the way (and trust me when I say that remembering them really helps!)1. Dogs were originally bred to accomplish different types...
