🦮Teaching your dog to go somewhere is easy when you BUILD VALUE for being there.

👉How do you do that??

👏 Give your dog a reason to WANT to go there and you won’t ever have to fight him on it - he’ll start offering to go there all on his own.

This works when:

✅ You’re sitting down for dinner (keep your dog out of the kitchen and away from your plate!)
✅ Someone comes to the door (prevent jumping before it happens)
✅ Teaching “stay”
✅ Teaching “place”
✅ Settling at an outdoor patio
✅ Tucking under a table at a restaurant
✅ Friends come over and your dog needs to be calm

➡️ What other situations could building value for a specific spot be helpful?

👉The more value (aka treats) your dog gets for engaging with you rather than doing a thousand other things you’d rather him not do, the more it becomes habit!! You are helping your dog practice behaviors you want and solidifying them into his repertoire.

🍪Keep the treats flowing and worry about fading them later.

You’re establishing good habits, rehearsing focus and setting your dog up for success. We like that. Keep the treats flowing.”]

🍪 Run out of treats? 😱

🐶 If you use sniff time as a reinforcer for leash walking, it isn’t a problem!

🦮 Even with a labrador!

Building a history of walking nicely on leash and checking in with the handler really pays off when you reach into your treat pouch only to find crumbs!

❓How did I do it?👇

We started with 90% sniff time and 10% walking with very short periods of focus before rewarding with sniffing. I also prevented sniffing during those times of focused walking so there wouldn’t be any distraction. He learned that there is no shortage of sniffing, he just has to also engage with me and focus to unlock it!

Teaching your dog how to relieve anywhere, on any surface, and on cue is a really underrated skill - especially for service dogs!!!

It is helpful for:

✅ Knowing your dog is empty before entering a building
✅ Being able to relieve when you travel
✅ Being comfortable relieving in new areas and on different surfaces when you are out with him all day

This step-by-step guide will teach you how, regardless of where your dog or puppy is in the process!

Text reads: It is incredibly helpful to teach your dog to relieve (go potty) on cue so that you know they are empty when you enter a building, so when you travel they will readily go in new and novel areas, and so you can easily give them an opportunity to go when you both are away from home for long hours.
