It is very important to get your puppies out in the environment to explore and pair it with positive experiences. Socialization doesn't necessarily mean to take your puppy out and let everyone you encounter interact with them.

Starting to build and shape the habits needed for fetch with board & train Luna. Don't just leave it up to chance when working with your puppy. You have to build the habits over time through classical conditioning. Whatever behaviors you let your dog rehearse is what they will most likely do in the future. If you have to chase your dog for the ball, the game will become just that. Using a longline or a leash will give you the extra control needed to be able to teach these habits. Another tip when teaching your dog fetch make sure you throw the ball right away when they let it go to reinforce the fact that the game continues when they bring the ball back.

An example of why engagement is so important, especially before you start trying to teach complex behaviors. Almost every dog that comes through here give or take a few exceptions has zero engagement with the person on the other end of the leash. Jude was one of those dogs, more interested in everything going on in the environment instead of focused on the handler. With a little bit of motivation and communication we can harness all of that energy and put it into something productive to help our relationship. This is Jude 1 week into a 2 week Board & Train, he has gone from purposely avoiding eye contact and not even taking food to putting all of his energy into training the bed command and he loves it. Go Jude 👏

Puppies! Everyone's end goal is to have a good dog that can free roam the house when their owners are away. The way we can guarantee they get to that point with as little "mess ups" along the way is to adhere to a strict management system for your puppy. Not only does it help ensure they do not learn and self reinforce bad behaviors but it helps mold their mindset to have a leader/follower mentality just as they would in a pack.
Ex-pens are great tools to manage your puppy aside from a crate. It let's them interact and be a part of the family while keeping them out if trouble. With that being said, you cannot expect your puppy to stay in an expen unsupervised without training them to do so. Once a puppy learns they can climb up the side and get out then your job just became alot more difficult. Here are some tips to help ensure the process goes smoothly:
1.Never reach over the top of the pen to pickup, reward, pet the puppy etc. We don't want them thinking good stuff comes from up high otherwise they will start jumping up.
2. Pay 100% attention to them at first to be able to correct or reward behaviors.
3. Never let them jump on the side of the pen. When they do, push them down and say "No".
4. When they stop jumping up on the side of the pen, mark the behavior and reward through the BOTTOM of the pen. Swipe over for video example.
If trained correctly, you will be able to use the expen long into your dogs adult life as well because they will be conditioned to stay in the pen.

Remi getting ready to go home 🏡 tomorrow. She excelled at everything we taught her! I'm sure her family will be ecstatic to have her home especially with her new skills.
