Putting our dog content on hold for the day to wish a Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day to those who celebrate (and Happy Halloween to those who don’t 😉)

What to do when your dog wants to bust through doors like the Kool-Aid Man? Door control! 💥

Sandals is a big, beefy boy who wants what he wants when he wants it. Working on waiting at doors is a great way to curb that attitude of “now now now”.

Notice how:
🍔 I am not using food as a reward here. I just use my hand as a lure. The reward is going through the door - and that’s enough for him.
❌ My corrections are soft, quick and calm. I am not yelling, making high pitched sounds, or saying “no”. It’s just a quick “ah-ah” sound to let Sandals know to try again.
✋When he jumps, I calmly disengage. This is letting him know that jumping isn’t the right behavior and my engagement won’t continue if he does it.

Easy drills like this can enhance your dog’s impulse control and make for a calmer, more well behaved companion at home 🐶

Hardy is the most handsome boy 🥰

Ok so, I’m not really a big poodle girl…but Merlin is the COOLEST. 😍

This cutie is Scout. Scout is a LOT. My guess is German Shepherd/Heeler and boy is he every bit of both breeds. Smart and spicy! 🔥

Because he has so much of that drive, he thrives on calm interactions. The moment he gets overstimulated, simply disengaging and removing yourself from him resets his brain and keeps him level.

If your dog gets a bit over the top, don’t yell. Don’t push. Just STOP, disengage, and reset. Calm is key. 😌

Someone adopt this big moosh so I can squish him at my leisure. Sandals wants you to love him forever 🤎

We love an oversized lap dog.
We love a derpy face.
We love Mia. 💘

🎉PIZZAZZ🎉 certainly lives up to his name!

This dog is amazing. He can do it all. Want to run around and practice agility? He’s your guy. Tired and want a nap on the couch? He can do that too.

He picked up every basic command like it was nothing, and was happiest on his back letting me scratch his belly. 💙

Never underestimate the power of sunshine and fresh air. 🐶☀️ Stay cool this week!

If your dog knows one command, let it be “leave it”.

First and foremost, for safety. If your dog tries to pick up something dangerous, the peace of mind of them knowing a solid “leave it” is priceless.

Second, impulse control! Dogs, especially excitable, high-drive ones like Ludington, need to learn that not everything is theirs all the time. They need to learn patience and respect, and teaching this command does just that. 😊

All you need is two hands, two treats and time for a 15 minute session.

Ask me why I do what I do, and I’ll show you this picture. The love in a puppy’s eyes is second to none. 💜

Sometimes “training” looks more like this. 🤷‍♀️

Bunny came into the shelter scared, shut down, and refusing to interact. Lots of nice people have slowly and patiently introduced her to humanity. As it turns out, she needed the love we gave her more than anything else we could’ve offered her. ❤️

Behind the scenes: the process of teaching “place”! This is a super useful command for dogs who are a bit high strung and have a hard time relaxing on their own, like sweet Ludington!

See how I build the action up one piece at a time? It’s called shaping, and it helps dogs learn complex actions like “place” faster and more reliably. I don’t even add in a command word until he’s got it nearly 100%. Ludington is so smart!

Today, Sparta met the Easter Bunny! And there was a big lesson to be learned:

A few of us from the rescue brought some dogs to a local shop for this event. Sparta is a very shy girl, and shut down when we got there with all the new sights and sounds. We tried to get her near the Bunny to take a picture, but she put the brakes on. I could’ve picked her up and pulled her over there, I could’ve forced her, but what good would that have done?

I want Sparta to get comfortable in the world authentically and on her own terms. Forcing a dog to do something they aren’t comfortable with is never going to solve the problem.

We spent some time walking around the store, building confidence working on “sit” and “watch”. After only 20 minutes or so, she was confident enough to greet people and dogs, and even get a quick picture (a safe distance from the Bunny).

Today was a win, but only because we set her up for one. Our dogs cannot fail if we set them up to succeed every time. ❤️

“Confidence” is the word of the day for Sparta. This tough looking girl is actually a delicate little flower 🥹

Allowing her to walk, sniff, and explore new spaces; encouraging her to climb on various surfaces; and praising her for interacting with “scary” things are all ways we can help her, or any puppy, live confidently. 💪

I simply couldn’t resist posting this guy again! Eugene is equal parts class clown 🤡 and teacher’s pet 🤓

Every time we passed a big rock he had to hop up, sit, and pose for the camera. He lives to please and I swear he tries to make me laugh on purpose. Must be the Boxer in him 😜

Training = enrichment. Giving these dogs something meaningful to do is just one step to giving them a happier life in the shelter. 😊

Eugene is a smarty pants! 🤓 He made quick work of focus and loose leash walking in our last session. ❤️
