Here is a taste of what a session may look like working with a dog, from here we just repeat it over and over gradually increasing the difficulty. Tucker is doing fantastic! He is very excitable but we have worked a lot on Impulse Control to help him make better choices. Big thanks to my little boy for putting up with my requests to challenge these pups 🤣 he initially started to creep over and potentially push Tucker over the edge so I had to request a normal walk. #dogtraining #BoardAndTrain #goldendoodle #positivereinforcement

✅Easy Peasy
We are working on his feelings around new dogs, he is nervous but has shown that he can make friends! He also seems cat friendly and we will continue to test with cats. He is the best boy and just wants to snuggle on the couch. He is mature and doesn’t really need much other than mild exercise and love. He will get 30 second zoomies and than he is done, he will play fetch for a bit and than he is done, he would much rather be curled up with some blankies and… be done 😴 schedule to meet this love bug!
Charlie is getting the hang of Place which is going to be a very beneficial behavior to help her remain calm in the house! #dogtraining #boardandtrain #dogboarding #chocolatelab
To finish off Koda’s training, we are introducing a beeper recall. His owners would like for him to recall to a beep or whistle as well as verbal cue. This can be a good backup if you have a safe place to allow your dog to run and you cannot see your dog or they are too far away to hear your voice. He is not receiving any shock or vibrations, he is simply hearing a noise and then associating that noise to a treat when he runs to me!
It can be tricky trying to find a place or an opportunity to run your dog wide open but it’s worth it 😍 She was a happy and tired dog after this #bordercollie #runyourdog #dogtraining #dogtrainer
Notice the way I speak to Maple, the amount of treats that I’m using, how far the treats are spaced out, when I deliver the treats, and how much verbal feedback I’m giving her. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #sciencebasedtraining #showupandtrain #structuredwalks #pawsitivepupunleashed #unleashpawsitivity
Lola enrolled in a 6 week program some time ago with her owners. They did the homework and now she walks wonderfully. And no, harnesses don’t always encourage pulling. Lola is wearing one and she walks like a dream! And no, I don’t have treats on this Structured Walk either.
Little Mia 🤣 trying to talk Sissy into playing with her some more.
Gus conquered the drive thru, he tends to freak out and lose control in a drive thru but today he decided to let them live #affenpinscher #dogtraining #reactivedog #positivereinforcement #boardandtrain #dogtrainer
Gus is starting to figure out how to walk with a dog rather than lunge at a dog. You can see his hesitation when he tries to find his place around her because he typically is barking or lunging. He can be very dog friendly, and play really well, but he is also the definition of what a reactive dog is. He is not aggressive, but very overstimulated and reactive. He has a hard time being respectful to other dogs. He is doing great tho! #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #reactivedog #dogtrainer
