Improving down stay with distractions!
It's always so important to remember to set your dogs up for success.
It isn't about how hard you can make it and they mess up.
It's all about how many successful moments your dog can achieve and be rewarded for and then building on the level of difficulty.
These guys have improved so much ❤️🐾🐶
Remi and Izzy held their down stays even with the crazy crinkle toy distraction !💯🤩🐾🐕
Puppy training basics!
Measure out your puppy's food and have them earn their meals from you by doing behaviors that you love.
8 week old Foster puppies Johnny, the White boxer, and George, the brindle boxer are learning great manners all while earning their food.
A great way to get lots of repetitions of behaviors you like without giving your dog too many treats and upsetting their tummies.
Dogs thrive on feedback when they are doing the right things.
Be a proactive trainer not a reactive trainer and capture behaviors that you love, helping to build a great relationship and obedience with your pup.

Fun exercises with Foster dog Hank!❤️🐶😄
Hank is looking for his forever home.
If you or someone you know is looking for an extremely athletic, smart, energetic, and fun dog, Hank is your dog!
Hank is bulldog and rottweiler with a little bit of border collie. He has strong tendencies of all those three breeds. So I'm recommending an experienced dog person only.
Contact me and make an arrangement to meet Hank! 🐾❤️
Hank's Story:
These exercises were done near his crate and then in his crate, always ending up on a positive.
You can see how enthusiastic and confident Hank has become.
It has been a long journey which has included a lot of patience.
It's so important to realize you need to train for the dog's ability and their mental state. Build their confidence and trust.
In my over 25 years of dog training, Hank has been the longest Foster and the most difficult and interesting one. And I fostered a lot of aggressive and difficult dogs over the years.
His issue wasn't only about training but he was showing some signs of PTSD especially at night time around his crate and if there was a bone in his crate. It has taken a while to figure out all of this triggers and then to do exercises prior to him being triggered to build his confidence and a new set of skills.
I had Hank for a couple months last year. As a puppy but only 14 weeks he had shown resource guarding and had scared the young children in his first home.
The family was afraid of him so I fostered him and trained him not to be possessive of his toys, have some good manners, walk nice on leash and I found him a new home.
7 weeks later he came back to me a fearful and extremely aggressive dog. Especially at night. Behaviors he didn't have when he was adopted.
Much of the training that I had done with him prior was ineffective in his aggression toward his crate and his toys and bones when he was returned.
It was shocking to me because he was so darn awesome at those exercise
Have a well trained dog by summer!😎🐕❤️
