My headless series on adapting training to the individual dog, for teaching a dog to back up and put their hind legs on a platform. Watch Roger, Tula, and Margaret as they each learn in their own way, and at their own speed how to do this at their individual pace and taking in to account individual learning styles. #forcefreedogtraining #rescuedogs #dcdogs #thedoglady #joanneometz
Tula’s tail says so much! I have been sick with pneumonia. So glad I had my fur babies with me for love and comic relief!

Teach your dogs to share! The Sharing Game is a great technique to help dogs learn to take turns. It builds impulse control and lowers anxiety about resources like food and even you!
Anyone can use shaping to train their dog! Just like turning a ball of clay in to a bowl. Start by rewarding anything your dog does 10times. Then pick a behavior they offered that’s a tiny bit closer to what you want. Keep doing that til you have the behavior you want, and then add your cue. This is a simplified explanation but a good basic description. If you want to learn more about shaping, contact The Dog Lady!

The Dog Lady moved to MD! Drove up to DC with my three dogs in early April to stay with my 92yo mom in her 10th floor coop apt. Bought a house and the sellers needed to rent back for several weeks. We are finally moving the weekend of June 8!
Follow the adventures of The Dog Lady as I, Margaret, Roger and Tula settle in to life in Berwyn Heights, MD. Training, problem solving, and lots of fur.
