"To get a good dog, you must be remarkably consistent in your signals, reinforcers, and inhibitors. You must have clear and fair house rules that everyone understands, including the dog.

Don’t waste time. Many dog problems are complicated, and some have no solution. Let me repeat it: prevention is better than cure.

To have a dog is a full-time job. To have a good dog is a source of countless moments of joy." ~ Roger Abrantes

Training Consultation Session

Today, Pepsi attended a one-on-one training consultation session to address some fearful responses that have progressed into forward responses during walks.

As always, we began by reviewing the fundamentals of communication between handler and dog. We then moved on to some behavior adjustment techniques to help Pepsi understand the appropriate response when placed in a stressful situation.

Slow everything down before we move forward is the name of this game 🎮

[PLACE TRAINING]

During today's session, we discussed the concept of place training, focusing on both indoor and outdoor training activities in the presence of distractions.

Place training, also known as the "place command," offers numerous benefits for dogs and their owners. Here are some key advantages.

**Benefits of Place Training for Dogs**

**Enhanced Behavior:** Place training effectively addresses undesirable behaviors such as excessive barking, jumping on guests, and begging for food. By designating a specific spot, your dog learns to stay in that location until released, promoting better control and obedience.

**Safety First:** Place training ensures the safety of your dog by preventing them from impulsively rushing out the door or interfering in busy areas like the kitchen. This added control reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.

**Calmness and Relaxation:** Having a designated place provides a sense of security and reduces anxiety in dogs, particularly during stressful situations. It creates a calming effect and promotes overall well-being.

**Impulse Control:** Place training instills patience and impulse control in dogs. By teaching them to wait calmly in their designated spot, they develop better self-control, which is essential for overall obedience and behavior management.

**Versatile Application:** The place command is highly versatile and can be applied in various settings, including the home, car, and even during outdoor activities like hiking or camping. This consistent training ensures your dog's obedience and safety in different environments.

**Fostering Independence:** Place training encourages dogs to spend time alone in their designated spot, which can be beneficial for dogs with separation anxiety. It helps them develop a sense of independence and reduces stress when left alone.

If you require personalized guidance on how to start place training with your dog, please don't hesitate to contact us directly. Classk9 is here to assist you in achieving successful training outcomes.

Additionally, we offer custom-made place boards that can be tailored to your specific requirements.

**Sundays Group Class Update**

We had an excellent turnout for our group class this morning, with a diverse range of dogs, including some newcomers who are working through various challenges.

It's important to remember that sometimes the most significant progress comes from taking small steps, especially when dealing with distractions that have led to nervous or fearful responses in our dogs. Our goal is to provide support and guidance to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, helping you overcome these challenges.

Our training system is designed to enhance your dog's responsiveness and build confidence in both owners and their canine companions. We encourage you to persevere and continue your training efforts, as positive outcomes will come with consistent effort and dedication.

Remember, focus on what we want instead of what we don't want to successfully change behavioral issues.

**Training Consultation**

Champ recently attended his initial training consultation with us to develop foundational skills for understanding the relationship between point 👉 elevation and arousal reactions to various distractions. He has begun learning rehearsal of behavior (which is effective) and increases if left alone.

Fortunately, his owners have taken proactive measures to assist Champ in becoming proficient in decision-making. We consistently emphasize foundational work as it serves as the cornerstone for preventing potential setbacks in critical situations.

We eagerly anticipate observing Champ's progress through his reinforcement training.

**Canine Motion Sickness: Addressing Discomfort in Puppies**

Motion sickness, a common ailment affecting both humans and dogs, arises from imbalances in the sense of equilibrium. Puppies, much like young children, are particularly susceptible to this condition due to the underdeveloped structures in their inner ears responsible for maintaining balance.

Fortunately, most puppies eventually overcome the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness as they mature. However, negative early experiences during travel can exacerbate the issue.

To ensure enjoyable car trips for your puppy, begin with brief excursions over short distances. Ensure that your puppy has an empty stomach before each journey, and keep the duration short enough to prevent the onset of discomfort. Gradually extend the distance traveled, concluding each trip with a positive activity such as a brief walk or playtime.

By progressively increasing the travel distance, you can effectively train your puppy to become a proficient and comfortable traveler.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your adorable dog. 🙏

Clients Review 💥
We brought our rehomed dog to lain for help as we were unsure how to manage her energy, which had manifested in very excitable behaviour! lain was brilliant explaining that what we were looking at was high motivation and drive. He had practical suggestions to manage her in the house and gave us lots of ideas of what to work on to build bonds and develop a secure foundation Three weeks later and we are absolutely smitten by her, she has relaxed with us, and working with her is a joy. lain has a great understanding of her breed and was at pains to explain how to communicate with her to develop a positive relationship of mutual trust and confidence.
