It is generally beneficial for children to learn to train their dogs.
Responsibility and Discipline: Training a dog teaches children about responsibility and the importance of consistency and patience in achieving goals.
Bonding and Companionship: The process of training can strengthen the bond between the child and the dog, fostering a sense of companionship and mutual respect.
Empathy and Compassion: Interacting with a pet helps children develop empathy and compassion as they learn to understand and respond to their dog's needs.
Confidence and Self-Esteem: Successfully training a dog can boost a child's confidence and self-esteem, as they see the positive results of their efforts.
Behavioral Understanding: Children learn about animal behavior and body language, which can enhance their understanding and interactions with other animals.
Physical Activity: Training often involves physical activity, which can help children stay active and healthy.
Churchill and his young master created a relationship with mutual trust and respect, their way of communication may not be as precise but way better. And most importantly both are happy and enjoys their engagement.
Qira and Onyx are among the 4 dogs I'm training in one household and they are the dogs that have trust issues, Onyx the Poodle is a fearful dog but will surrender and submit if offered a treat , while Qira the French bulldog is more than just being fearful because she tends to be reactive and aggressive and will not submit easily even you lure her with food. These is why they are being trained separately, while Nugget(Shihtzu) and Pachie(Jack Russell Terrier) train together.
It took sometime to build the trust and respect from these dogs, but with right psychology and tool, proper communication and good leadership even the fiercest dogs will learn to submit and become better and happy
appreciate training the dogs as a group, because it helps build confidence and trust as they learn from other dogs by observing and seeing how others get rewarded as they perform and behave appropriately. Onyx and Qira showed big progress in terms of behavior. as they willingly joined the pack for training. The video shows how cooperative and submissive they have become.
Keopi's Agility training. video 2
Keopi, my Shih Tzu student, is ready to showcase his agility skills in a larger venue, so we took him to Pet Park at SM Southmall. Despite it being his first visit, he felt confident and successfully navigated the park. Keopi and his furmom tackled the agility course with my coaching, demonstrating impressive skills, control, teamwork, and a strong bond. Kudos to Keopi and his mom!

Remote Training Collar or E-Collar.
Do you struggle to get your dog's attention when they're distracted or triggered by something or someone? Do you find it difficult to call your dog back when they're having so much fun that they become disconnected and won't respond even if you shout their names.
A dog lacking a reliable recall might get lost or injured if it becomes uncontrollable. Obedience training can address this issue if you apply the right psychological principles and use the appropriate tools. Various tools are used in dog training, ranging from a basic slip collar and leash to more advanced devices like remote training collars or E-collars.
The use of E-Collars has sparked much debate among dog owners and trainers, with varying opinions on the device. As a balanced trainer, I employ a range of training tools based on the specific issues or cases, ensuring they are effective and beneficial without causing harm to the dog.
The E-Collar is highly effective for training, particularly for remote exercises and recall, as it effectively captures attention. However, it might not be suitable for everyone and can become harmful if misused or applied incorrectly.
Yuki is one of the dogs that gained from remote collar training. She enjoys wearing the collar as it has been linked to positive experiences like going for walks or exploring and having fun off-leash but still under control. This helps prevent distractions, such as a running cat or dog, which can be particularly challenging to manage given her herding instincts.

Obedience dog training is a process where dogs are taught to follow specific commands and behave in a desirable manner. The primary goals of obedience training are to establish a clear line of communication between the dog and its owner, ensure the dog's safety, and enhance the dog's ability to function in a variety of environments.
Key components of obedience dog training include:
Basic Commands: Teaching foundational commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel.
Leash Training: Ensuring the dog walks calmly on a leash without pulling.
Socialization: Exposing the dog to various people, animals, and environments to ensure well-rounded behavior.
Positive Reinforcement: Using treats, praise, and affection to reward desired behaviors.
Consistency: Ensuring all family members use the same commands and reward systems to avoid confusion.
Patience and Repetition: Training requires time and repeated practice for the dog to learn and retain commands
Obedience training can be conducted by the dog owner, a professional trainer, or through formal classes. It helps in building a strong bond between the dog and its owner, leading to a more enjoyable and stress-free companionship.

Born to be wild! 🐶🏍️ #DogOnTheMove #MotorcycleAdventures"
Nine years ago, I trained a Shih Tzu named Popo in this same house. I'm happy to say that Popo is still healthy and active, even participating in our fun run event. Now, it's Popo's young companion Kyeopi, also a Shih Tzu, who is undergoing training. Kyeopi's training has started off impressively. Like Popo, he is intelligent but even more agile.
I've finally taught Jovi a trick that I've been meaning to for a while now, but still working to get better . It's called "Fetch and throw" and it combines retrieving and dropping, a useful skill I've taught three of my dogs in the past. In memory of ( Pidoe, Korbel, Loki)
Dog training
I visited a home with four dogs requiring training. First, I assessed their behavior, beginning with Nugget, the oldest and most well-behaved Shih Tzu. Then, I worked with Pachie, the Jack Russell, who showed obedience and a fast learning ability. However, Onyx the Poodle and Qira the French Bulldog appeared antisocial and fearful, frequently barking and avoiding interaction, necessitating the use of leashes for better communication and control. All dogs are unique and different, they may appear to be similar in physical features and temperament but still they are different, but their psychology will always be the same. Handling and managing these dogs to become better requires good leadership, understanding them and communicating with them using their own psychology and choosing the approach that works best for them with mutual trust and respect.
Dogs that don't like to be leashed are often described as "leash-reactive" or having "leash aggression." It's a behavior that can be managed and trained with patience and consistency and most especially with right tool and dog psychology.
Boogie, the Newfoundland, and Chloe, the Golden Retriever, participated in training together to enhance their connection and prevent any miscommunication between them.

During the bonding session with the dog, I was focused on Myuki, not realizing that it was Jovi who was attentive and following the commands. 😂😂
