Friday Fido Tip is exposing your dog to loud noises and/or music but allowing them to take their time to get comfortable enough to lie down. Knowing the goal of the trainin session is important. The first goal is the dog is able to remain in the envinronment where the loud noise or music is taking place. The second goal is that the dog is not displaying any stress signs such as panting, yawning, shaking or whining. The third goal and one that night not happen on the first exposure is lying down and being relaxed. Its important that the handler is calm and offers yummy treats.
Service dog in training Bam and Facility dog in training David attend Cheyenne Hills Church on Christmas eve to learn all about loud noises and music. Bam will be attending church that plays loud music with his future partner and David will be around lots of kids at recess, concerts, and etc.

Friday Fido Tip is teaching your dog to come to you even when there are distractions. Service dog in training Drago loves to play ball, so having to choose between going to get the ball or coming to trainer Justine when called is a huge success!
Begin by working on your dog's recall while there are no distractions around and provide a yummy treat when they reach you. Once you introduce a distraction, begin with one that is low-key and not their absolute favorite thing. Always use a happy voice and yummy treats to reward them for doing the right thing! When you feel the dog is ready for a more enticing distraction, set the distraction in their view but not necessairly in the path of coming to you. Keep working and progress according to the dog's behavior! Happy training!

Friday Fido Tip recommends hand feeding your puppy or dog for multiple benefits. First, this is a great way to teach them sit or down. Second, it teaches them to remain calmly in a position while eating. Third, it improves their digestion because they are calm and eating much slower than on their own. Fourth, it improves thier relationship with you. You have their complete attention and are even more important to them.

Friday Fido Tip using talking buttons to teach your puppy or dog to use their nose. We use the buttons to teach a dog to hit automatic door buttons, close drawers and doors but there are many uses a pet dog could use this skill for. Instaking a talking buttn next to the door to outside so they can let you know when they want to go out.
You can program the button to say the words such as; yes, outside, treat, and etc. Richard is learning touch the button and gets a treat each time he makes the button talk.

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!
