Introducing B&T Boomer to “tone recall” on the e-collar. Honestly was worried he wouldn’t hear it and I would need to teach recall a different way. Thankfully it’s high pitched enough he does hear it and quickly picked up that when he hears the continuous tone tapping to find his “human” and is rewarded with food! We will be doing thousands of reps of this over the next 3 weeks. Go Boomer!

Introducing Harper to the @sprengerusa_canine prong collar. This is her second time working on it. Soft pressure and lots of 180s. She’s picking things up so quickly. What a change from the extreme puller she used to be!

Poppy go home success level 100! Always forget to get footage 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj #poodlegram #standardpoodle #poodle
Poppy is days away from her “go-home” session and this has been a super fun 4 weeks. She went from timid and mannerless to this wildly calm and well behaved girl! Accountability and consistency are two HUGE parts of the process and BIG requirements on her owners once she’s home in order to maintain and progress. Remember, dogs do what you allow, plain and simple! Having clear rules/boundaries and consequences is a major part of having a really solid and well behaved dog. Then you’ll really be able to do so much with them!

Poppy has 10 days left of her Board & Train and I’m super excited at how far she’s come! This next 10 days we will be proofing all her commands and working her around other dogs and in public!

Monty learns “place” for the first time! He already has an understanding of e-collar tone & stim. It is also super important to understand that he will not get corrected for any mistakes until he 100% knows what is expected. For this phase when he does “wrong” I’m saying “no” and repeating direction. Once he has had enough reps and clear understanding of the command and expectation then if he breaks command/doesn’t comply there will be a correction that follows “no”. Giving the correction before the dog knows the expectation is unfair. #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj
Half way through her Board & Train Program and Poppy is crushing it! I’m excited to start working her in public, placing her with more distractions and challenging her as much as possible. This has been one of the most fun dogs I’ve had in a long time!

A little before & after on the recall with Monty! Accountability is the name of the game. Excited to end week 1 with some solid recall and good foundation. #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj
We spent the beginning part of the day working in the yard on leash/prong with food teaching directional pressure to Izzy. This afternoon I took her for a quick spin out front of the house. She’s doing great and while it’s still pretty messy we will tighten this up as we continue to progress/practice. #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #hermsprenger #daytraining #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj
Poppy’s first off property walk where we practiced the foundational stuff we did week one in the yard. We spent a lot of time getting her into “follow” mode with ecollar/leash guidance and so during our walk today I had her drag the long line to mimic “off leash” walk. She did great, this will be tightened up throughout the next few weeks! Love this dog already!🤘🏼

We had a major breakthrough with the “down” command and since that breakthrough Poppy is flawless with her commands! I’ll continue to up the challenge and pattern the new “way of life” aka permission based lifestyle!
What does this mean? In order to achieve solid command reliability and a dog that always listens to us, we must first achieve respect and trust. We must be taken serious. If the dog continues to make their own choices all the time their level of entitlement increases which causes our value to decrease. The dog gets in a “leadership” mind set and what we normally see from this is dogs who selectively listen, only complying when there is value for them. We also see a lot of nuisance behaviors and even some behavioral issues such as aggression, fear or anxiety. By getting the dog into a “follower mindset” and having clear rules/boundaries, while also being able to hold the dog accountable and share fair consequences will be life changing!
This will also allow the dog to live a way better, more fun life. Imagine the ability to take your dog anywhere and know they will behave the way you desire and listen to you 100%! #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj #standardpoodle #poodlesofinstagram
Poppy crushing it and we are only 1 week in! Proud of how hard we both have worked to get to this point. She was really hard to get a solid and consistent “down” and today we had a huge break through! Can’t wait to continue to work with her over the next 3 weeks!

Today Poppy was introduced to tone recall on the e-collar. Teaching her that when she hears the tone sound and her verbal command she must come to me and sit or if I keep moving follow me (this will become heel later). Good girl Poppy! #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj #standardpoodlesofinstagram
Mildred has come so far in only 3 Day Training sessions! Absolutely love this sweet puppy! Excited to keep working with her and watching her continue to make progress at home! #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #daytraining #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #doodles #balanceddogtrainernj #doodlesofinstagram
Often times I find people move too quickly, talk to much and repeat commands. Calm, consistent and neutral body language and tone of voice is ideal and so helpful when training any dog. Once the dog “knows” the command it’s important to let them process, correct them if they do the wrong thing/don’t do what is asked and THEN repeat. Also remember when using food as your reward you should vary how much you “pay” them based off of how they perform!
For example: Doing several easy reps successfully - each pay out is 1-2 pieces of kibble. Doing a command perfectly for the first time (not needing a lure or maybe in a distracted area) - jackpot payout (5-10 pieces of kibble)!
Mildred’s mom has been struggling to remove the lure for “down” and says when on place she often gets off cot when given the command. We worked hard today to improve on this. Slowing removing the lure, correcting with leash for getting off the cot, varied pay outs. She’s getting better and better and finally I got a perfect “down” with zero lure!

Thanks to the help of Day Training puppy Sally, Board & Train Jax was able to proof a bit around a new friend/distraction! He did great and I’m super excited for our last week together! #pawsandobeydogtraining #4quadrantsofdogtraining #boardandtrain #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtrainernj #labrador #englishlabrador
Sally had a successful 1st Day Training session! She definitely has some anxiety and lacks engagement and food drive but I was able to find a training treat she liked! Today she we learned “down” command, we worked on building duration with “sit”, introduced her to a “release word” (break) and she got a bunch of dog socialization! Looking forward for her sessions next week!

Mildred had her 2nd Day Training session today and it was clear her humans put the work in at home and built on what she learned during her 1st session Monday! Today we continued to drill commands, work on engagement and duration, and of course continued with dog socialization! It was a fun day and she rocked!

Working with Jax on introducing to “place” command, learning directional leash pressure with the prong collar and being more engaged. He’s a lot of fun to work with but definitely needs to slow down!

4 month old Winnie is here for her 3rd Day Training session! She’s so fun to train and has made great progress in such a short time frame! She’s learned “sit”, “down”, “come” and the beginning of “heel” position. We have worked on increasing duration and she’s doing well with it! Today we have worked on continuing to build on duration, putting more reps into the things she knows and work outside which provides a new layer of distraction. I also introduced her to the “place” command which with time will be such a valuable skill for her family!
