Ever feel like your training sessions aren’t going as smoothly as you’d hoped? It might be because your obedience is getting in the way. We have to consider all the factors that affect our dog’s training; such as the relationship, environment, clarity, etc. If there is an area that is suffering so will the rest. So how do you fix it? Get out of the mindset that obedience will fix it, and prioritize their behavior and mindset. For example, if my dog is struggling to heel I need to look at their behavior walking on a loose leash to understand why. It could be as simple as clarity in the command or they find other things in the environment more rewarding than me.#DogTraining #BalancedTraining #UnderstandingOverObedience #CommunicationIsKey
Rebel went from not being able to go anywhere, to showing the perfect behavior everywhere❤️ Rebel came to us for reactivity towards everything outside and always being on guard at home, we quickly learned that she had no aggressive intentions but was super excited. Over the last 35 days we have taught her how to control those emotions and be able to enjoy the world with a calmer state of mind, and how to direct all her goofy and excited energy into obedience.I can’t wait to see the things she is able to accomplish as she continues training with her mom!❤️ #DogTraining101 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #CanineBehavior #TrainWithLove #SmartPupTraining #Balancedtrainer #balanceddogtraining #DogObedience #TrainingTips #GoodDogTraining #ClickerTraining #PuppyTraining #BehaviorModification #TrainPlayLove #BondWithYourDog #DogTrainerLife #DogTrainingJourney #germanshepherd #malinois #rescue #rescuedog

🌟Socializing The Newest Trainee🌟 Our newest trainee got a head start on her socialization and confidence building for her first training session with us! Stability and confidence should be built from the beginning, but without shots we will have to make our own stimulants to keep her safe. She is a 10 week old Doberman that will be raised by us until she is fully prepared for her new home. She is still looking for new owners, so if you are interested contact us for more information! #DogTraining101 #dogtraining #dogtrainer#CanineBehavior #TrainWithLove #SmartPupTraining #Balancedtrainer #balanceddogtraining#DogObedience #TrainingTips #GoodDog Training #ClickerTraining #PuppyTraining #BehaviorModification #TrainPlayLove #BondWithYourDog #DogTrainerLife #DogTrainingJourney #Doberman #DobermanPinscher #Dobie #DobermanWorld #DobermanOfInstagram #dobermanpuppy
🌧️Rainy Day Fun with Bodhi🌧️ Bodhi needed some extra work on his training with distractions, but on a rainy day they can be hard to find outside so we made our own! Bodhi loves balls so this took a lot of restraint on his part, but he did super well! We practiced all of his obedience and task training with the goal of him ignoring the balls on the ground. The best part is at the end he helped me clean them all up with his “bring” task!🤩 #DogTraining101 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #CanineBehavior #TrainWithLove #SmartPupTraining #Balancedtrainer #balanceddogtraining #DogObedience #TrainingTips #GoodDogTraining #ClickerTraining #PuppyTraining #BehaviorModification #TrainPlayLove #BondWithYourDog #DogTrainerLife #DogTrainingJourney #servicedog #servicedogintraining #goldenretriever
When training we aim for the dog to successful in every rep, but how will the dog understand what is considered wrong for the command? Once we are sure they understand what is right and how to gain the reward. We take it back to how we initially taught the behavior, but put them in a challenging starting position. Ruben is working on having straighter fronts, so I brought out the position box and stood in front of it as I did when he was first taught the position. But instead of placing him in front of the box and having him come straight to the front, I place him awkwardly then give the command to reinforce straightening his whole body in front of me. He understands what he is meant to do on the position box so it gives me the advantage of not having to help him with verbal or physical cues. As you can see in the end he was able to self correct his positioning to be straight in front of me. This is the first step in having consistent positioning, he is aware of what's wrong and will adjust himself without any assistance. This means less correcting and nagging from myself which means more enjoyment to do the command for Ruben. #DogTraining 101 #dogtraining #dogtrainer#CanineBehavior #TrainWithLove #SmartPupTraining #Balancedtrainer #balanceddogtraining#DogObedience #TrainingTips #GoodDog Training #ClickerTraining #PuppyTraining #BehaviorModification #TrainPlayLove #BondWithYourDog #DogTrainerLife #dogtrainingjourneythedohermannade
🐾Teaching VS Training🐾 The biggest mistake owners make when training their dog is rushing the teaching stage before the dog has a clear understanding of the end goal. This makes the dogs confused and the owners annoyed because their dog won’t listen to the command. Teaching a dog involves developing concepts and understanding, like explaining the meaning of “sit” or “stay.” I think of it as explaining the definition of the command to the dog. Training, on the other hand, is the repetitive practice and reinforcement of those commands, ensuring the dog reliably performs them on cue. This is maintenance that is necessary to keep the precision of everything taught. Teaching establishes the foundation, while training instills consistent actions through repetition and reinforcement. #DogTraining101 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #CanineBehavior #TrainWithLove #SmartPupTraining #Balancedtrainer #balanceddogtraining #DogObedience #TrainingTips #GoodDogTraining #ClickerTraining #PuppyTraining #BehaviorModification #TrainPlayLove #BondWithYourDog #DogTrainerLife #DogTrainingJourney
