Friday Fido Tip: How to Teach Your Dog to Go Up and Down Stairs Calmly
Especially for young dogs, running up and down stairs can be hard on their bones and joints. To teach them to navigate stairs calmly, start by putting your dog on a leash and use stairs they’re familiar with, whether inside or outside. Use a treat to lure them, encouraging them to step one at a time. Reward them after each step, and repeat the same process for going up. Practice this a few times, then celebrate their progress!

Service dog in training David is touching the talking button on command while trainer Vanessa is holding just above his head. He will then transfer to the actual automatic door plates at different buisnesses around Cheyenne.

Friday Fido Tip: Are you training with your dog in the same place everyday? Are you using the same boring treats? Are you bored with training?
The answers are that if you are tired or bored with training, than so is your dog. So, what can you do to change this?
1. Make it new and exciting by using a happy voice, clapping, etc.
2. Change the treats up, maybe provide a mixture of really special ones in with the origianl treats so the dog never knows which one they will get.
3. Change locations either within the house or outside the house.
Keeping things fun will help your dog to engage with you and the learning process! Happy training!

Service dog in training Journey is working on retrieving different items at the training facility without many distractions. He is eager to pick any items that is dropped and happy to bring that item to his trainer Justine. On the other side, he is also learning to leave food on the floor alone while he is lying down, walking past and recalling right over it.

Service dog Ruger spent some public training time with the trainers since his partner Patty wasn't able to get out due to some medical issues. Ruger does a great job of holding his stay while the trainer returns and then recalls when called. Completing these in public with increased distractions can sometimes be challenging. His partner might use a stay is she was having an exam done and Ruger needed to be out of the way. The recall is especially important for those "just in case" situations. This could be a leash breaking, collar slipping off, a gate being left open or a person dropping the leash. Its a good idea to work on it so when it does happen, nobody panics.

Service dog in training Journey, who is a 100# Newfie/Lab cross and 16 months old, is doing great training out in public. He works nicely beside his trainer Vanessa and the shopping cart at the grocery store. He is left on a stay while Vanessa walks away and then returns. He is learning to ignore people an enticing smells, all while paying attention to his trainer. Good job Journey!

Teaching your dog to retrieve is not only helpful but it's fun for them too! All of the dogs in training begin by learning to retrieve one item and once that item is consistently retrieved successfully, the dog learns different items. The dog receives a treat once the item is delivered to the trainer!
For more information on teaching a dog to retrieve, see our YouTube channel and have fun teaching your dog new things!

Assistance Dog in training David is doing a great job of holding his stay and then coming to his trainer Vanessa when called while at the grocery store! One of the trainers job is to make sure each dog can perform all their obedience commands while in public and around distractions. Then they can begin to work on the physical skill tasks while out in public after they have been successful at the training facility.
