Ok sorry for the long video, but I wanted to share this crazy uncut raw video of Mr. Bruce working for Odor (nose work). This dog's desire to hunt is as high as I've ever seen. There is nothing more rewarding for him than the hunt and unfortunately when out walking or left to his own that hunting instinct is focused towards bikers and or kids. So I wanted to test his desire for the job of finding odor with my kid was in the same room. However, I always have to keep my kids safe first which is why you see him in the kennel 🤣 Bruce did absolutely amazing as you can see and and made some great choices and understood when he was supposed to be working on odor and not distracted by the kid. This is the first time I have seen that. Now the problem is going to be trying to transition this to real world scenarios as he cannot always be hunting for odor. His owner and him have a long way to go, but now we have a way to truly fulfill his most primal need!

If you’ve ever wondered how to use the e-collar to get near-perfect recall for outdoor adventures or currently use an e-collar but are confused about how to use the e-collar in a fair way that is meaningful to your dog, our E-collar 101 seminar is exactly what you need.

Here are five reasons we love the e-collar:

1. You can communicate in their language

Dogs communicate primarily through touch.

Humans communicate verbally (a dog's least effective way)

Plus, dogs don't speak English, so there's more lost in translation.

The e-collar is your translator.

2. The e-collar helps you teach your dog to make choices

Through proper training, your dog learns that the quickest way to remove the pressure of the e-collar is to comply with the command. (negative reinforcement)

When paired with a reward (positive reinforcement), your dog is going to fly into behaviors because they want that reward.

When paired with a correction at a meaningful level (positive punishment) after disobedience, your dog stops what they were doing and does what they were asked.

3. You can train your dog in fewer repetitions

Teaching new behaviors using only positive reinforcement requires 4-6K reps, per command, per location.

When you combine positive reinforcement with negative reinforcement to teach a new behavior, that’s when the *magic* happens.

Then the reps drop from 4-6K to 400-600.

4. It’s a hands-free leash

Imagine if you could communicate with your dog right from your pocket while they’re off having fun on the trail ahead.

The e-collar allows you to control your dog from afar without having to wrangle a long line with the press of a button.

5. It’s an insurance policy

Once your dog learns that their decisions result in feel-good and not feel-good consequences, you won't have to use the e-collar every single time you give a command, only when you need to correct for disobedience or stop a behavior in its tracks.

//

Our E-collar 101 Seminar will break down exactly how we use the e-collar to get dogs to fly into behaviors with glee and also appropriately correct for disobedience.

This seminar will take away the confusion and eliminate any doubts you may have about the tool.

→ We’ll go through the ins and outs of how it works

→ We’ll teach you how to use it on each other so you understand how your dog will learn

→ We’ll show you how to use it as an accelerator to make your dog excited to listen to you

This seminar is getting DEEP into e-collar training and will explain everything you need to know.

So whether you’ve never used an e-collar before or you’ve used one, but are still confused about how to really use it, you’ll come away from this seminar with a clearer understanding of the tool.

Here are the deets:

January 27-28 at our facility in Bingen, WA.

Bruce and the pedestal!

Mr Bruce and day 2 of the box. Already making progress!

12/26/2023

Here's a short update on Mr. Bruce. Here you'll see me starting the protocol of box feeding. We will be using this to start building some environmental blindness and hopefully bring his focus towards his trigger such as kids bikes and skateboards into obedience and a calmer state of mind

12/23/2023

Due to the big response that I received yesterday with the picture of Bruce and my makeshift head halter, I wanted to share a little video on how I make it. Hope you guys enjoy!

12/22/2023

Remember it's not always up to us to pick the tool that works best for the dog. In this case with Mr. Bruce, the tool of choice is a makeshift head halter. As the prong collar and remote collar were straight activators and would only ramp him up more. Bruce is a dog who out in public absolutely loses his mind. So today I had to dig deep into my toolbox and try something a little different than just happened to work wonders. This is why we believe in full quadrant training and using what tools work best for the dog and for the owner. This kind of training tool also known as a head halter or gentle leader is not a go-to for me at all. To be honest, I'm not even a fan of them. However, every now and then it is by far the right tool for the job, which is why In this industry you must be open-minded and always willing to try something new and or different because in the end it's always about the dog and the owner!

Oh how I love a clean facility!

Why do we focus so much on creating environmental blindness in young pups? This right here is why. I don't care how much obedience your dog has if they can't settle out and about and can only be worked in drive then you missed a critical part of training! By far the most important thing you can do with your dog or a young puppy is work environmentals. We have our work cut out with this pup. We must address the suffering and bring the dog out of a mental prison!

12/21/2023

So many people focus on obedience with a young puppy when in reality they should be focusing on creating environmental blindness to where their dog doesn't care about anything because they are confident and strong and know how to not just handle stress but also overcome it!

The simple change that can take you from conflict to cooperation with your dog?

Changing the way you use the e-collar.

If you feel like you’re using the e-collar to constantly tell your dog NO and would rather teach them how to get to YES then the NWB E-collar 101 seminar is exactly what you need.

Join us for a weekend seminar to learn the ins and outs of the e-collar January 27-28th.

Over the two-day workshop, we will teach you everything you need to know about how the e-collar works so that you feel confident using it with your dog.

→ You’ll learn how to use the e-collar as a gas pedal to encourage what we do want instead of as a brake pedal to stop unwanted behaviors

→ We’ll role play so you can train each other in order to understand exactly how it works on your dog

→ We’ll teach you games to play with your dog so that you can build motivation and engagement

By the end, you’ll understand how to issue fair corrections when applicable and understand the difference between a punishment and aversive.

The most important part of detection and nose work is the imprinting of the odor. Without the dog having a clear understanding of the odor you will see many false indications! Here you see Ivy imprinting for the first time in odor. Once you have hope, love, and understanding for the odor the search will be easy! Are you interested in learning more about nose work or detection? Hit us up today to learn more. [email protected]

We get it — a pet sitting service like Rover seems like a great solution for your dog when you travel because it can be really affordable.

And it can be…IF you have an easy dog.

But if you don't, it can be a nightmare.

Because a pet sitting service is missing professional trainers who understand how to truly manage dogs.

When you board your dog with us, our trainers will

- maintain structure and obedience skills

- practice neutrality around other dogs without direct interaction

- fulfill their biological and physical needs

If you’ve been struggling to find someone trustworthy to watch your dog while you're away, get in touch with NWB Dogs today.

Karyn Purvis, scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it is done in play, in which case it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions. Whether it be board games, crafts, puzzles, or imaginative games, a child is always learning. This is due to dopamine being released during play!
I truly believe this can be the same for dogs! How you teach and how you play is extremely important. So the question is are you playing with your dog?
