Management is about changing the environment so your dog is not put in a situation that triggers his outbursts. These unwanted behaviors or habits will slow your training process. Consider that your dog may actually enjoy rushing and barking. If the behavior is rewarding to your dog, he is unlikely....

Managing a Reactive Dog can be challenging, but practical strategies can make a significant difference.

My latest blog shares simple, feasible tips to help you thrive with your emotional furry companion. 🐾

For Ollie, a highly reactive dog, desensitization has been a game-changer; allowing him to navigate my home environment with a greater sense of calm self-confidence. By engaging Ollie in familiar, enjoyable tricks—like “spin,” “paw,” and “high five”—while he hears but cannot see peop...

I’m am seeing a dramatic increase of seizures as well as silent seizures in the dogs I see as, well as family and friends dogs.

This video will educate you on the likely causes and why we all should be asking for titer tests before giving our dogs any vaccines.

As I created this fun video of Jade and this very social one year old GSD. It became clear to me that Jade's numerous positive and safe socialization experiences have shaped her into a Social Savvy Adult Dog!

One distinguishing characteristic of highly social adult dogs is their adeptness at expressing their intentions clearly and effectively. In encounters with pushy or overbearing dogs, these individuals employ subtle yet assertive communication techniques to assert boundaries and moderate the behavior of their counterparts. Watch Jade use a combination of subtle body language, vocalization, and nuanced interactions, as she adeptly convey's her desire for a more measured and respectful interaction.

Jade has two years of controlled socialization practices compared to this one year old GSD. Fortunately, this one year old met Jade and is now on her way to also becoming a more thoughtful, tolerant and socially savvy adult dog!

Just like you want your kids to play with kind friends. It is important you select your canine friends as well.If you happen to have a rude pushy adolescent ...

Calling all dog professionals!

This is a topic not taught to us in our dog training curriculum. Dog trainers, know that pain is a common reason for changes in behavior. However, how many of us are able to see the limp, short stride, angular motion or off balance sit.

This course should be required for all dog professionals! I can’t wait to get started!!😁

Drake and I have been on a 4 year journey learning to track human and canine scent together.

There are 4 AKC certifications tracking human scent, each with increased degrees of difficulty.

TD - Tracking Dog
TDU-Tracking Dog Urban (optional)
TDX - Tracking Dog Excellence
VST - Variable Surface (which has a 10% passing rate)
Passing all levels earns the Dog a Champion Tracker (CT) Title.

This weekend Drake and I passed the VST together in Agusta Maine, ❤️🤩

Passing this level earned Drake the distinction of Champion Tracker! I am so proud of our teamwork!

Thank you On Track Agility Club of Maine (OTAC) for a wonderful experience!!

Special thanks to Carolyn Fuhrer for always believing in us as a team! You taught me how to be patient, and support Drake when he circled about searching to solve the scent puzzle, instead of pressuring him. Your guidance on a start routine allowed me time to breathe and connect with Drake on a deeper level.

Thank you John Rice for reminding me Drake needed to see the point to tracking. That finding items people drop can be repetitive and boring for a smart dog. That tracking and finding his favorite person can and did bring back Drake’s motivation significantly! That motivation is more then just paying Drake with food. That when I celebrate his successes he will be more willing to play the game again!

Oh how I wish you and Suzanne Clothier could have witnessed Drake singing when we found the last article, at the end of our VST track! Drake joined in my excitement with joyful cheers while jumping around celebrating with the judges and the gallery of friends that were present!

Drake, you are a Champion Tracker and an amazing partner!😍

When teaching your dog to do a Down on a Recall for Obedience, it is important to teach each behavior separately. I believe, many people move through the training steps too fast for their dog.

I often hear people say their dog is stubborn, however, most often the dog simply does not know what their human wants. Watch how I ask too much from my dog and how I help her!

This podcast is designed for dog trainers, shelter staff, rescue organizations, fosters, and dog owners, offering valuable detailed insights on identifying resource guarding from pushy rude behavior in dogs. You will learn practical training strategies to help dogs overcome this behavior in a compassionate and effective way.

Dogs that guard their owners or resources are similar to bullies you may have encountered in social settings because they are driven by dysregulated emotions. These emotional dogs often lack proper social skills with humans and try to gain control, when what they truly need is more connection and support.

Please share this important free content!

Are you puzzled by your dog’s tendency to guard certain items or spaces from you, even when you are just trying to play with him? Dive into this insightful podcast hosted by Ness Jones, featuring me, Judy Moore, Canine Behavior Modification Expert. Together, we unravel the reasons behind why some ...

How is it possible this girl is 3 years old today! 😍🎂

She was spayed 2 days ago and acts like nothing happened to her. Just took this picture today! She has steps to join me on the couch, rests easily in her kennel and started offering playbows to Drake last night. We have another week of limited activity and she is already annoyed with the leash attached to her.

A big Thank You to the staff Veterinary Hospital and Dr. O’Hare! Jade’s laparoscopic spay recovery has been better than I expected.

10/10/2024

Jade is heading to the Falmouth vet’s office this morning for her laparoscopic spay. While less invasive than traditional spay, she could use some positive thoughts, wishes for an easy recovery! ❤️

Insights for getting the right puppy for you and your family! Please help spread the word and consider sharing this post.

Imagine being able to identify the unique traits of a puppy—one that is independent, full of energy, has strong opinions about resources like food or toys, and isn't afraid to push back when handled. Wouldn't that be valuable information to have when you picked up your puppy? Understanding these s...

Another great course by Suzanne Clothier! All dog professionals and especially any individual who competes with their dogs should take this course! Suzanne will teach you to see subtle nuances in dogs that are not even on your radar!

Behavior & performance are rooted in the dog's physical being. Learn to understand what dogs can tell you about themselves through observation of their posture and movement.

Suzanne's long awaited course on the Physical Dog starts November 1, with Early Bird Dog Pricing available through October 6th!

This instructor-led courses focuses on a topic near & dear to Suzanne Clothier’s heart: the physical dog. She first published her award winning video, Your Athletic Dog: A Functional Approach, way back in 1995, before sports medicine was common place.

This course will provide practical information on:

🐾 Dog anatomy & conformation - why does structure matter?
🐾 Observing functional movement - a systematic approach to assessing the dog's abilities and limitations
🐾 What is "normal" vs the norm - frequently seen issues that should not be ignored
🐾 Common behavior, training & performance problems & their physical roots
🐾 Understanding exercise physiology for injury prevention, conditioning & performance

Using video, graphics, "Try It Yourself!" exercises and Q&A sessions, Suzanne will enrich your understanding of the physical dog. Your observation skills will be fine-tuned, giving you the ability to ask, "Can you?" when working with any dog, no matter what the training or performance goal may be.
