🐾PAWSitive Reinforcement🐾 🐾Successive Approximation🐾 I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement.
(11)

At Pawsitive Transformations my work is finding your dog's drive, using games and techniques that your pup finds fun. I will work with you, teaching you how to keep your dog's attention and engagement as your dog learns through positive reinforcement and successive approximation. The other key factor is successive approximation. Shaping, or as it's formally known, “shaping by successive approximat

ions,” means breaking down a behavior into tiny increments, and reinforcing the dog at each incremental step until you've achieved the full behavior. Through these methods, I will teach you how to clearly and effectively communicate. Your dog will be excited and eager to learn, using a positive approach to motivate your dog with enthusiasm and respect instead of fear and pain, the result will be a well-behaved and balanced dog. If you currently use electronic collars, prong collars, or choke collars, I will gladly work with you and your pup to transition away from pain and use positive reinforcement and successive approximation techniques. Benefits of these techniques:

• Builds a strong bond with your dog based on trust and respect.
• Avoids increasing anxiety or aggression.
• Uses fun, easy training methods for the entire family.
• Provides mental stimulation, preventing boredom and problem behaviors.
• Allows a dog to choose, without fear of repercussions. I believe that training should involve the entire family. I will work with all of you so that your relationship is happy, healthy, and with clear boundaries & expectations! Training should be fun and involve every one of any age and ability!

I’m so excited that some of these beautiful puppies are about to start training with me soon!! Remedy Ridge Aussiedoodles breeds some of the best tempered dogs I’ve ever worked with! They are all eager to please and so smart so it makes training a breeze!

This morning things rapidly changed, I have to catch the soonest flight out on bereavement. Please pray for me and please excuse my absence during this hard time. Hug your loved ones and express your love every chance you get. Life is too short.

My son Flint and I are on vacation in California! We absolutely love to explore, we’ve spent our time playing and swimming with the seals, climbing mountains, and finding secluded beaches. We will be back to training next week!

Theo has been in Stay & Play Training for a short amount of time, a week? His owner Blanca already had a great foundation with his training! Theo just needed me to add in distance, duration, and distractions! I’ve been working closely with Blanca to make sure that she understands the order of operations and understands when to give positive reinforcement, positive punishment, and how to set healthy boundaries.

Blanca is going to continue to train Theo herself and soon I’ll test the team and they will earn their American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen award!

So proud of these two!

Look how proud Daisy Ray is of herself!!! She’s smiling!! I initially thought Daisy would need 3 weeks of training to address her separation anxiety and guarding her owner from the grandchildren. And we got the training done in 2 weeks!!

I’ve worked closely with her WHOLE family including her grandchildren and now everyone has healthy boundaries and expectations!

We already miss this sweet angel!

Today was a great day of dog training! Staying a small business, I make sure I get to dedicate the time necessary to owners and their dogs. Today I met with Tanks owner at the dorms of SAU and Daisy’s mom this morning at the park and this evening at their home.
Tomorrow Bellos mom is coming in from Nashville to see his progress and work with him!

I’m so proud of all these dogs and their amazing owners!!

I’ve taken a few weeks “off” from training dogs to focus my time and efforts into the growth of , my heart and calling is to help the homeless here in town. If you don’t already, please follow! Likes and shares really help my nonprofit grow!

I LOVE receiving kind words from clients, especially the wonderful ethical breeders like .ridge_aussiedoodles so excited to train another one of their wonderful dogs!

Behavior modification is a lot of work! I love hearing from clients that everything is going well! Oh yeah… we also got a monkey 🙊

Get your dog into training now before I become the crazy monkey breeder and trainer 🤣

I love getting happy updates from clients! Doodle had gotten used to being carried around everywhere, barking incessantly if set down. He had no boundaries and jumped on furniture. Had never been in a crate before, always slept in the bed.

Doodles now create trained, will not jump up on furniture, and is comfortable in his own space and won’t bark or beg to be picked up! I’m so proud of his progress! Behavior modification takes so much work and time!

Using successive approximation to work at the dogs pace to get closer to the dog park and not hyper fixate or become reactive.

Working with Shana though lots of distractions

Shana is working hard on her attention and focus we’re also concentrating on not pulling.

Harley from @remedy.ridge_aussiedoodles is doing great with his Stay & Play Training! Here is a video and explanation of what I do and why.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Harley is doing great! In this video I explain successive approximation, how I add in distance and duration simultaneously, and add in distractions. I’m so proud of @remedy.ridge_aussiedoodles pup he’s going far! #aussiedoodle #doodlesofinstagram #puppy #puppylove #puppytraining #chattanooga #dogsofinstagram #dog #doglover

Shana is in training for her severe hyper fixation and leash pulling. Here is an example of how I get her attention and focus on me. #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #doglover #dog #doglife #dogtrainer #chattanooga #positivereinforcement

Utilizing positive reinforcement, I establish a strong foundation for young puppies. This approach is essential for nurturing a lasting, joyful, balanced relationship with clear expectations and boundaries with their owners. Instructing puppies on desired behaviors from the start is far more efficient than unlearning undesirable behaviors in an older dog. This proactive method simplifies the training process significantly!

Every day I take the dogs in training out in public, training in real life is so important. Yesterday Harley’s training was at @coppercreekfarm Harley is already learning leash pressure, ignoring distractions, and impulse control. Even when excited he’s learning to sit! We had a great time yesterday, @remedy.ridge_aussiedoodles breeds exceptional puppies!

Training in public and real life environments is so important! Everyone I’m home and back in training! Today was such a beautiful day so glad to be with @remedy.ridge_aussiedoodles Maple and Harley’s first big outing both dogs did great! @nattiebmac is doing a great job keeping up the training! We had a great time at @oddstorybrewingco monkeying around! The environment is so dog friendly and all the staff are so nice!!

When you hire me to train your dog your dog, you are not only aiding me and my son, but you are also contributing to Flint’s understanding of a strong work ethic and financial management. Additionally, your support extends to our nonprofit organization, @atypicalplacefortransformation thank you for your support.

Capturing the Calm. To enjoy outings in the community with your dog it is crucial to train your dog to remain unresponsive in environments filled with activity and potential distractions. The ability of your dog to stay completely calm and not react amidst high levels of distraction and commotion is essential!
