If your dog hates the rain and easy thing to do is to take them outside when it’s raining and just relax. You can go for a walk or you can just stand but show them that water isn’t scary. They’re not gonna melt. Take some treats or their favorite toy if you can but just existing in the rain is a great training session#dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #tampa #tampafl #tampadog #tampadogs
Your dogs should have water frequently. I carry 2 bottles of water with me every where I go. You need to know if where you’re going has water and even then you should still bring water just in case #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #tampa #tampafl #tampadog #tampadogs

Properly socializing your dog actually means taking them places and showing them the world not letting them meet every dog they see. Take every opportunity to show your dog something new #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 29 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ If your dog got loose how would you get them back?Every dog should have some form of identification We love our dogs and would hate for them to get lost and not be able to find them. There’s several options you can choose. I’d tags, Apple AirTags and @fidog collars are great choices#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
My dog had diarrhea yesterday. I always keep bone broth and pumpkin on hand for situations like this to help my dogs get over their episodes. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 28 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ I tend to not trust people especially with dogs. I have no idea what their dog is like and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “He’s Friendly!!”No thanks I’m not interested. I teach people to not let their dogs interact with random dogs and part of that is managing your dogs placement and what position they’re in#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Dogs are naturally fearful of things And that’s ok. It’s up to us to help them overcome their fear.Take some time to help your dog whenever you see they’re scared 😱 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 27 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ Your dog should not be eating stuff that you don’t give him permission to. Dogs tend to not be the wisest at choosing a snack and some tend to eat poop or socks or AirPods. The leave it command is some that you say as a preventative but also need to follow through and not allow them to pick something up#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 26 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ If you have a multiple dog household you should spend time with each dog individually.This doesn’t have to be every day but it should be part of your schedule. Dogs live a short life and it’s up to us to make the most with them#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 25 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ Does your dog yank you around? Do you get nervous seeing a squirrel or another dog and wonder how your dog is going to react?These are not behaviors that you can just hope to go away. They HAVE to be dealt with. It takes 0 seconds and little effort for your dog to react and cause you to fall on the ground.If you struggle in this area reach out a local dog trainer. They’d be happy to help you#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Vernon Dog Training has a new addition im excited to share with you! We’ve had him for a few weeks and love him already! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 23 Run Your Dog Challenge Running in Florida is HOT. Make sure you’re staying out of the sun whenever you can and make sure you wear your hat 🧢 😂#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Every moment with your dog is a training opportunity. Your dog is taking in everything and analyzing the results. So if your dog is fearful of a situation and they try to run away and you let them, you’ve just taught them they are successful in running from their problems. It’s up to you as the owner to recognize your dogs fear and help them overcome it.#dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 22 Run Your Dog Challenge Being able to pick up your dog is a goal you should have starting the day you get your dog. Now you should NOT try this with every dog especially if you don’t know the dog very well. Start slow with this but picking up your dog can be crucial in many ways. Loading your dog into a vehicle, carrying them over an obstacle or carrying them while they’re injured. Start slow and reward often#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day. #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #tampadogtrainer #tampa #tampadog
DAY 20 Run Your Dog Challenge I walked outside yesterday with my dogs and there were 4 wild hogs 🐗. I do NOT want my dog being reactive and causing the hogs to chase us😂. I also want to make sure that if my dog were to chase them that I can call them off and have them come back to me#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 19 Run Your Dog Challenge Do you know if your dog is having a heat related injury?1. Excessive panting or difficulty breathing. If your dog is panting constantly or faster than normal (hyperventilation), they could be overheated. Dogs with flat faces like pugs are more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they cannot pant as efficiently.2. Dehydration. Signs of dehydration include dry nose, visible tiredness, excessive panting, and sunken eyes.3. Excessive drooling. Keep an eye out for lots of drool, or drool that is thicker and stickier than usual.4. Fever. If your dog’s nose is dry and hot instead of wet and cool, they could have a fever. A body temperature above 103°F is considered abnormal.5. Bright red, gray, purple, or bluish gums. If your dog’s gums are a different color than normal, they could be dehydrated.6. Lack of urine. If your pet has trouble producing urine, they could be dehydrated or overheated.7. Rapid pulse. The easiest way to take your dog’s pulse is to place your hand on their chest near their front elbow joint. If their pulse seems elevated, they could be overheated. (Normal pulse rate depends on the size of your dog—bigger dogs tend to have slower pulses, while small dogs and puppies have very quick pulses.)8. Muscle tremors. If your dog is shivering or shaking regardless of outside temperature, it may be caused by heat exhaustion.9. Lethargy or weakness. Overheating can cause dogs to nap more than normal or having trouble standing up or walking.10. Vomiting or diarrhea. Abnormally soft stool, or stool with blood in it, is a big warning sign for heat exhaustion.11. Dizziness. If your dog seems to have trouble walking in a straight line or keeps bumping into furniture, they might be lightheaded from dehydration or heat exhaustion.
