Got long lines?? Arguably the most useful and versatile training tool on the market, a long line can give shy dogs the freedom to explore novel environments on their own terms, play a critical role in developing off leash attention and responsiveness, and allow you to practice distance cues and exercises safely in unfenced outdoor locations. 🌳🌳🌳🐕🎾🎾🎾

This is Chelsea. She has been living at See Spot Run for a while now and is in need of a foster without other animals. She has struggled with on-leash reactivity, mainly toward other dogs, but has shown improvement with training. We’ll be posting video of her this week, as well. Please contact for further information.

Consistent productive exposure to new people, environments, and activities is important for all puppies, but it’s critical for breeds with guarding or “protective” tendencies. Fear of novelty can manifest as aggression toward unfamiliar people or stimuli in adulthood. This 20 week-old Cane Corso puppy is gaining confidence in new environments. She is also learning to look to a trusted person for information and guidance, when confused or concerned.

Student spotlight! We are so proud of Remi, whose mom wasn't sure he would ever be ready for group class because of his dog reactivity. Here he is at Proofing at the Park, looking at dogs casually, and very excited about working at this foot targeting exercise. We've posted about him before, but this happy, wagging tail must be shared.

Conditioning happy associations with a muzzle can start out being as simple as feeding treats through the bottom of it. 😍

Check out trainer Coralyn teaching Cupid the "sit pretty" trick. The first "puppy crunches" drill is a good introduction to this skill. Duration can be built by holding out on the reward and/or rapidly feeding in place. Resist the temptation to put your hand too high! And make sure that your dog is sitting squarely. Sitting pretty with knees and feet splayed out to the side puts harsh and unnecessary stress on the joints. You may in fact have to work on sitting with good posture + building core strength in other ways before introducing sitting pretty.

Lilly is rocking polite greetings! We like routines that include waiting to be released to greet on cue and checking in with the handler to manage excitement.

Yay for toy play skills! Jude came to us only able to tug on stuffed animal-type toys, with a habit of biting hands while regripping, and increasingly developing conflict during trading for food. We've been working hard on tug mechanics that set his grip, teaching him how to regrip without traveling up the toy, playing with new (safer) toys, and conflict-free "all done" routines. Today, we started re-teaching "drop" via "switch." 👏🏻
