Longsnouts Dog Training

Longsnouts Dog Training We would love for all dogs to be as joyful as Sir Winston Longsnoutl!

[We're named for a member of the Longsnout canine clan, but shortsnouts are welcome, too!]

In December of 2013, we - randomly, yet driven by synchronicity - had the opportunity to foster a purebred Black & Tan Coonhound found as a stray on the streets of southeast Detroit. He was taken under the wing of American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue, his stay with us was coordinated via SE Michigan's resc

ue network, and he was named Sir Winston Longsnout. Despite being dumped, ridden with worms, and ridiculously skinny, the 7-9 month old male was the most naturally joyful animal ever encountered and our week with him was a whirlwind of tailwags, dog smiles, romps in the snowy backyard, and cuddles. We offer relationship-building tools via reward-based training in the form of: training walks, runs of all lengths, 1:1 training sessions, and small group training classes (coming in 2015!). It will be an honor to partner with you and your canine(s) to help bring that joy to your relationship.

That’s my type.

I *love* this post!! So many relatable suggestions, many that I bring up in sessions. Like what you ask?

- Focusing on “tiring them out” physically, yet we’re building an unsustainable tolerance for activity. (Ask me how I know…)

- using “no” instead of asking for what I actually want to happen.

- overtraining so there’s no room to ‘be a dog’ or learn to truly relax.

- using “ok” as a release cue or “come” for recall. SO MANY reasons why, but mostly because I don’t want my dogs to ever feel like they need to respond to someone else.

…and many more. What stood out to you?!

After years of “urban agility,” parkour, and being outside with dogs, it’s second nature to look at a landscape and think “what can I do with this?”

I *love* hiding snackums in fun places and letting dogs snuffle them out!!!

Where will your dog sniff today?

With the blessing of the Parks system, we held our 2nd Conservation Detection Dogs: Walk + Talk at Osborne Mill Preserve yesterday. It's one of my favorite around town!

After the human in this house has been physically limited (another early-stage melanoma removal this week), Kenna was ALL FIRE for her search. She did the runnings, the sniffings, the socializing - everything she loves most!

Sometimes they get the pre-made, though mostly I have time to make my own using the mix, bone broth, and a dollop in enzyme toothpaste. (Smart right?!)

Kenna & Conservation Detection.

Training has progressed to a large-ish source in a 1/4 acre, especially when there’s a good wind.

She’s fascinating to watch because she follows odor pools on the ground *far* more frequently than Dougal (who’s an air scenting king).

Here, I’m letting her work the edges of odor, without too much involvement. Down the road, it’s far more likely I will NOT be nearby when she finds . (She’s MUCH faster than me! 🤣)

We’re also working on her …those clips to come soon. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️
