Byrd
Working on heel with Byrd. This guy has a pretty serious bite history. He’s doing great for me off muzzle right now and I think it’s safe to say we have bonded! Haha. He’s prone to over arousal, so we are currently working on calm walking and ignoring people and dogs and everything else a busy neighborhood has to offer. His family has been very very involved and is already showing signs that they are going to do great things with him!
Byrd is here for behavior modification. Follow along to see his progress!
Byrd 1
Byrd is working on dog and human aggression. Most of his aggression stems from what I like to call “backyard syndrome”. He spent a lot of time in the backyard unattended, which has led to a lot of reactivity. Dogs are prone to something called “barrier aggression” which is where dogs that would not typically fight with each other face-to-face, will fight through a fence.  his only interaction with other dogs has been overstimulated with lots of barking and aggressive behavior. We are teaching him a new pattern of behavior around other dogs where he can be calm and non-reactive. The more we practice this, the more this will become default behavior for him. we use what is called an obedience, first approach with behavior modification, which means that we teach a set of rules and then change the dog’s behavior by enforcing those rules. Keep following along to see his progress. #nwarkansas #bentonville #dogtraining #labmix

Dharma and Astrid
Two girls working on some obedience and task work. Dharma sure does have a good nose! Astrid is young, but working on ignoring things.
Dharma doing diabetic alert training
We are starting to shape in an alert, and asking her to actually sniff the odor source, and showing her that a nose boop is not enough. #cheyennewyoming #goldenretriever #servicedog #Diabetes #DiabeticAlertDogs #diabetesmanagement #diabeticcare #t1d
How to make sure that you are properly correcting your dog. Don’t overdo it and don’t underdo it either. Watch this video for some tips. And as always, if you’re confused, contact a trainer.
Proper correction and what that means for your dog.
Are you correcting your dog properly? If you’re not doing it properly, you’re going to have a confused dog. Same thing if you’re not correcting the dog at all, they’re going to be confused when you are upset that they did the wrong thing. Here’s some information on how to do it properly.
🐾 Backyard Playtime: Are All the Dogs Having Fun? 🐾
Watching dogs play together is one of the best parts of being a dog parent! But how can you tell if every pup is truly enjoying the fun?
Check out this video of some backyard shenanigans! 🎥 Pay close attention to Hestia, the white dog. At first glance, it might seem like she’s getting picked on by the other dogs. But notice what happens when the other dogs move away—she follows them back into the play! 🐕💨
✨ Quick Tip: Dogs that aren’t enjoying play will often look for opportunities to retreat and create space. If you see a dog moving away and avoiding interaction, it’s a good sign they’re not having fun and may need a break.
Playful dogs like Hestia may stick with the group even if the play looks a little rough—they’re still having a blast! 🎉 Knowing these subtle cues can help ensure all the pups in your pack are safe and happy.
💬 Does your dog have a play buddy they love? Share a story or a photo in the comments—we’d love to see your pups in action! 🐾❤️
