🐾 Working Dog Wednesday: The Australian Shepherd 🐾

The Australian Shepherd, or “Aussie,” is an energetic, intelligent, and highly trainable breed that thrives with a job to do!

🔹High Energy & Intelligence
Aussies are known for their sharp minds and boundless energy. They excel in herding, obedience, agility, and even nose work. Without enough mental and physical stimulation, they can easily become bored and destructive.

🔹Loyal
These dogs are incredibly loyal to their families and can be naturally protective. Proper exposure is key to ensuring they are confident and well-mannered in different environments.

🔹Natural Instincts
Aussies have strong herding instincts, which means they may try to “herd” children, other pets, or even adults! Channeling this drive into structured activities like obedience training, fetch, or even dog sports can help satisfy their natural tendencies.

🔹Training & Socialization
Because of their intelligence and eagerness to work, Aussies respond well to training. At OverWatch K9 Academy, we specialize in shaping natural drive into positive behaviors, ensuring your Aussie becomes a well-balanced companion.

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday: Why Your Dog Ignores You in Public! 🐶

Ever wonder why your dog listens perfectly at home but suddenly “forgets” their training the moment you step outside? 🤔 It all comes down to distractions and threshold training!

✅ The Problem:
At home, your dog is in a low-distraction environment, making it easy to focus. But in public, there are new smells, sights, and sounds competing for their attention.

✅ The Fix:
1️⃣ Start Small – Practice in a quiet, controlled outdoor space before tackling busy parks or streets.
2️⃣ Increase Distractions Gradually – Slowly introduce new challenges (other dogs, people, noises) while reinforcing commands.
3️⃣ Use High-Value Rewards – If you’re competing with squirrels and new scents, kibble won’t cut it! Use something your dog can’t resist (like real meat or their favorite toy).
4️⃣ Be More Engaging – If your dog finds everything else more interesting, make training fun! Use an excited voice, movement, and play to keep their attention.

✨ Training isn’t about asking for perfection—it’s about building engagement in every environment! ✨

🐶 Why Does Your Dog Chase Squirrels & Guard Toys? Let’s Talk Instincts!

Ever wonder why your dog bolts after squirrels or protects their favorite toy like it’s gold? 🧐 These behaviors come from two natural instincts: prey drive and defensive drive—and at OverWatch K9, we know how to turn them into positive behaviors!

🔥 Prey Drive (The Chase): Dogs love to chase—it’s in their DNA! Instead of fighting it, we channel it into structured play like tug, flirt poles, and real-world training to build focus and control.

🛡 Defensive Drive (The Guarding): If your dog growls over food or toys, they’re not being “dominant”—they’re feeling insecure. We use confidence-building exercises and trade-up games to teach trust and cooperation.

✅ The result? A well-balanced, confident, and obedient dog who listens—even around distractions!
