Using “Go Sniff” instead of treats to reinforce behavior you like! Whether you forgot treats, you ran out, or your dog isn’t taking treats, giving your dog STRUCTURED sniffy time can be really beneficial to your training!

Foundations are what make behavior show up outside your living room and this is what good foundations look like. Not flashy - just clear and reliable in real life. If reliability matters to you, you’re in the right place.

Training doesn’t have to be ✨flashy✨to be effective. Sometimes the best training looks boring - and that’s okay.

You’re doing fine.

If I were to bring home a service dog prospect puppy, this is what I would do to make leash walks so much easier so I’d never have to fix them in the first place

Hot take: a dog can pull in literally any equipment. Harnesses don’t teach dogs to pull and sticking different equipment on your dog won’t magically teach them to walk nicely and be engaged with you.

Day 6 Leash Skills from Scratch - back at it outside but today working on bringing him closer to me since he’s using the length of the long leash to be further away. We fix this pretty quickly with some trusty reinforcement placement!

Don’t fall into the trap - there’s always a reason and there’s no such thing as a stubborn dog! If we create the right environment and properly communicate what behavior we are looking for, we can create success.

Day 4 of Leash Skills from Scratch! So much progress already and even though taking these foundations outside may briefly cause some regression due to the environment, it’s a solid place to be and will make it SO much easier than attempting to start this process outside.

Day 3 of Leash Skills from Scratch! Today we are working on staying on the left side, building, duration, and continuing to reinforce that let’s go cue.

Day 2 of my Leash Skills from Scratch series 🐕‍🦺

Before we say “let’s go,” we teach the pattern.

Dropped treats → dog follows → then we add the cue.
