I am a results oriented dog trainer and work any tools and techniques that get those results. About me:

Hello everyone!
(41)

This is the official fan page of The Happy k-9 Training & Rehabilitation.I have daily updates, photos and videos of my board and train and my 1 on 1 in home sessions. With so many families struggling with even the basics of dog obedience, this page is a breath of fresh air that shows the results and the training of real world dog training. So many families have gone to 6-12 even 18 weeks of dog tr

aining and still not even gotten the basics down. It is not supposed to be like that and I offer folks an alternative. My name is Nelson Mendoza and I am Obedience dog trainer, i train dog owners and rehabilitate/ educate dogs. I also deal with owners that struggle with dog and or human aggressive dogs. I would like to welcome anyone and everyone to my page. We will update pictures and videos weekly when dealing with clients and will update daily with FREE training tips and advice. Feel free to ask any questions you have on training, exercises, tools, bonding tips, anything that comes to mind. Welcome and looking forward to change owners and dogs lives! The way your dog is today does not have to be the way it is tomorrow.

Harnessing all the goofiness into an on/off switch for an improved quality of life! Teaching them from a young age that there’s a time and place for everything. Time to be a goofball & time to have manners and not be mentally on 24/7.

Check us out on Instagram for daily updates throughout the week on all of our goofballs in for training.

🛇 Use your Manners! 🛇
The Sniff test - Stop doing that!
The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing.

🚩When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some dogs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions.

🚩If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed.

🚩People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you.

🚩Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction.

🤔 If you are meeting a dog, what should you do?
⚠Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again.
⚠Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side.
⚠Ignore the dog & talk to the owner.
⚠Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats.

🐶This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.

Maggie has come such a long way! Super super proud of the new Maggie! Low level Ecollar training is such a great way of training off leash reliability through communication. Not an easy process but definitely worth it! When a dog is in such high drive sometimes food, correction, most of the time food is less valuable AT THAT time causing for your dog to blow you off.... low level ecollar training does give you an invisible leash if trained right, a seatbelt, piece of mind when taking that leash off. Many think through these videos that dogs only listen with the ecollar on which is not true and part 2 of this video will address that. Getting a dog to want to listen to you and make better choices is different training than 1. Bribing 2. "Do it or els type of training". Everyone has their way of training but we prefer creating that partnership between owner and dogs vs. "master / slave relationship.

Great job Grouper! Loving his long walks in the city. Grouper is from New Hampshire and stepping into the city was a whole different world with so many people and dogs on small sidewalks. Grouper came in with some serious reactivity towards people and dogs. With his new mindset and someone advocate for him he is enjoying his long calm walks! Go Grouper! Stay tune for Part 2: NEXT POST ➡️

Definitely a working progress but already making great choices! Thanks Maggie for the help/distraction 😉

Leash is for everyone to feel safe but Gizmo rocked Assembly Row Outlets! ( UNEDITED ) *grabbed the leash when I saw the kid because 1) wanted the parents to feel safe but most importantly because no matter how much training a dog has gone through, we take 0 chances with children. Lots of pets from strangers and lots of pictures taken of the new Gizmo! Gizmo doesn't mind the attention 😉
