Socialization is a vital part of a puppy's life. Socialization is not only play time with another dog. It is exposing your pup to everything in the environment in the most positive way possible.

Puppies have a short window in their early lives in which they are impressionable - they soak up different situations and experiences at a faster, more sponge-like rate than if they are exposed to these later in life.

To help prevent resource guarding a “drop it” is an easy way to teach your dog to let go of something without the use of force.

The video is not showing the last step of the training but somewhere in the middle. If the dog can have it give it back and if the dog has something in their mouth they are not supposed to have toss it out.

The end goal is for the dog to provide you a drop it without fearing punishment and possibly guarding what he/she has in their mouth.

Drop it is great for those dogs that love to “eat” everything out there. We use it when the dog has something in their mouth already.

How do dogs learn? What role do we play in this process? Our industry is not regulated which means anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Often the ABOUT page is a dead giveaway with what kind of dog trainer you are dealing with. No education and the use of alpha, pack leader, dominance means there is no education at all. These trainers also fall back on forceful training methods as they lack the ability to train humanely.

Reward based training is not easy. I am still learning every day. Why? As science evolves around our understanding of animal learning so do we.

Education makes such a difference. Having had dogs all your life doesn’t make anyone an expert. However one has the power to become one!

In training we don't only use food to train a dog. We use whatever motivates the dog. Food is for most dogs the highest motivator but one can use anything to reward a dog. Personally I rarely use removing the good stuff to get a certain behavior. I teach an alternative behavior instead. Reward based all the way around!
