Polite leash walking is a long term project! To get dogs to walk with me the way I prefer them to takes time and training and more time. It is not quick and easy! I know we all want the learning to be fast, but do we want fast or do we want solid? #trainyourdogmonth #trainlikethis #positivetrainingworks #poodle #standardpoodle
Will I see any of you there? (Carolina Scent Work Association in King, NC) Be sure to say hi!!! #trainyourdogmonth #trainlikethis #positivetrainingworks #scentwork #scentworktraining #biggoals #infinitepossibilities #emme #beagle #beaglequeenbee #topshelfbeagles
Bell has always loved her crate, but it’s super exciting to exit! With smaller dogs (one being a senior!) in the house, I want a more controlled exit from the crate. So, we’ve been working on it. Good girlie Bell!!! #trainyourdogmonth #trainlikethis #positivetrainingworks #infinitepossibilities #biggoals #bell #bellatrixlestrange #gsmd #swissy #greaterswissmountaindog #bluehillswissys
Premack. It’s a thing. We’re working on polite leash walking (NOT heeling — there’s a difference for us) and not randomly zooming off to check things out. So we did a short bit of walking and then some sniffing! The key for Bell is usually many short sessions with fun stuff in between. But I (try to!) evaluate that every time. It’s coming along — slowly, but surely, it’s coming along. ❤️ #trainyourdogmonth #trainlikethis #positivetrainingworks #infinitepossibilities #biggoals #bell #bellatrixlestrange #gsmd #swissy #greaterswissmountaindog #bluehillswissys
Bell has been struggling with being able to think while going through doors. Since doors are inevitable when I saw this open door, I took full advantage and played the Control Unleashed 1-2-3 game with her.

Look at those Adventure Dogs go!!! 😉 #positivetrainingworks #trainlikethis
Do your dogs do this? Biggest dog in the smallest bed. She is very sure this is what she needs to do. 😂😂😂 Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Swiss Miss Bell is running into the new week! What do you have planned?
❤️🐶🎄🎅🏼🤶🏻❤️
It’s extra tough this time of year to squeeze in dog time. Don’t stress about it! Life happens. If you’ve got 2 minutes, you’ve got time to play tug, toss a ball, work on that cute new trick, or play the up/down game. Both you and your dog will be glad you did!!!
Make it a great week all!!!

Reason #2,637,495 why I help my dogs learn to love being in their crates. #trainlikethis #positivetrainingworks #cratetraining #cratetrainingsuccess
Even while traveling, you can squeeze in fun play and training time with your dogs!!! While on the road last week, we did some scentwork practice. More to come this week… #scentwork #scentworktraining #nosework #noseworktraining @good_scents_nosework @releasecanineaz
