Group place with some of the board and trains.
What’s happening here ?
The dogs on place are learning to remain calm and in control even those with FOMO while we rotate through and train them funcation obedience.
The dogs training in the centre are learning how to remain in control and reliable with the distraction of being surrounded by other dogs.
The dogs in their crates are learning to remain calm and in control just like the dogs on place.
Three Main Ways We Teach The Loose Leash Walk!
Doorway thresholds and the “place” command can help slow down an anxious dog’s mind and improve their ability to cope and think better. Here’s how:
1. Clear Boundaries: When you teach a dog to respect thresholds (like doorways) or in a designated “place,” you’re setting clear boundaries. These boundaries provide a sense of structure and safety for the dog. An anxious dog often feels overwhelmed by the world around them, and boundaries give them a sense of predictability and control.
2. Self-Control:Anxious dogs can be impulsive and reactive. Learning to pause at doorways or stay in a designated place teaches them self-control. They learn to wait and not immediately react to external stimuli, which is essential for managing anxiety. It gives them time to think and make better choices.
3. Calm and Relaxation: Dogs, like humans, can benefit from moments of stillness. These moments can help them relax, reduce stress, and ultimately think more clearly. #itraink9 #dogtrainingtips #torontodogs #dogtraining
Your dog needs down time too!
Don’t make the mistake of rushing!!!
Giving your dog time to process your command is important because it allows them to understand and respond appropriately. Rushing them can lead to confusion and mistakes.
Over correcting your dog in new environments or too early in the training process can create anxiety because it can be overwhelming and intimidating. This can hinder their ability to learn and follow commands effectively.
Patience is key!
Thinking outside the box. A crucial tool for being successful in dog training and in any profession.
What happens when the dog doesn’t respond to traditional methods or techniques?
Well, you think outside the box. You figure out how to get the desired result in a way that won’t diminish progress made in other areas or the relationship you have with the dog in-front if you. Every dog is different so figure out what works for them.
We have a timeline during board and trains and sometimes traditional tools and techniques don’t work.
Millie is learning downs through physical manipulation and praise as a reward.
When have you thought outside the box to get a desired result when training your dog ?
Holding treats between your palm and thumb when rewarding your dog protects your fingertips from accidental bites, allows for easier luring, provides consistency in reward delivery, and prevents treat dropping!
Give it a try with your dog! #dogtraining #torontodogs #puppytraining #itraink9
Are your training treats too big ?
Deli is enrolled in our Puppy Foundations program, which focuses on three crucial aspects of puppy development: engagement, confidence, and patience.
Engagement is key in our program, involving puppies in various activities, exercises, and interactions to stimulate their curiosity, mental abilities, and physical exercise.
Building confidence is crucial for emotional and behavioral development, achieved through overcoming obstacles using lots of reinforcement and exposure to different environments and situations.
Patience training teaches puppies to wait and learn self-control, preventing impulsive behaviors and enhancing focus, listening, and adaptability skills.
Our program aims to provide a solid foundation, shaping their obedience and ability to navigate the world confidently.

Our Kennel Team plays a crucial role in the success of our Board and Train program. The foundation of training starts in the kennel, and without it, dogs will not acquire the necessary skills to complete their training.
The Kennel provides dogs with the essential structure, health and wellness, and routine to ensure their comfort, safety, and calmness during their stay.
The kennel is not just a place for dogs to sleep and eat. It is also where they learn important behaviors such as waiting for their food, understanding crate boundaries, remaining calm during collar changes, navigating doorways, being quiet in their crates, and showing respect to their neighbors. Additionally, it serves as a space for dogs to decompress between training sessions.

How To Add Duration To The Place Command
1. Start with a training pouch full of high value rewards
2. Get your dog onto the place mat.
3. Say “good” and bring your dog the high value reward while they are still on the place mat.
4. Step a short distance away from the place mat , mark with “good” and bring your dog a reward.
5. If your dog steps off of the place mat immediately use a try again marker such as “ah ah”, walk towards your dog, repeat the command and guide them back to the mat
6. Each time you move away from the mat increase the distance or duration lengthening the time between your “good” markers
7. Every couple of reps release your dog from the command to give little breaks inbetween
When you first start use minimal time between your good markers then increase the time between the markers as you progress to ensure your dog I successful.
