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
Paper towel gauntlet! Even better at the end, she dropped it when asked which was previously a 0% chance. Such a good girl 😊 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #goldenretriever
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
Dudley has progressed beyond this phase of Place Work but it is a great example of how to lure a dog without food. Dudley is not highly motivated to move on cue so I used a leash to guide him on and off the mat after giving him the cue. I want the message to be clear so he doesn’t get confused or frustrated with what I’m asking for.
This 2 minute video is just a shortened version of our training session. Each exercise you see us do in this clip is one of about 20 repetitions. Training does not happen overnight, it takes lots of consistency and time for your dog to learn your expectations #dogtraining #boardandtrain #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement
Sissy has an EXTREMELY high level of tolerance for the Puppy Boot Campers even after they’re grown. She is a huge help when it comes to socializing and training these babies. Winnie (not a baby anymore) was enrolled in Puppy Bootcamp not so long ago, as many others were. Sissy LOVES when they come to board with us. #bordercollie #boardandtrain #DogTraining #dogtrainer
Here is the end of our walk! I’ve been rewarding all the good stuff and the results show. Her proximity to me now is much closer, you’ll notice she keeps checking in and zig zagging directly in front of me, and she is more focused on what we are doing rather than the world around her. You can have a big impact in just one walk too, think of 3 things you want to see more of and reward them when you see it.
Elvis was in Sport Mode 🏎️💨💨
Lottie working on a snack! Toys that you can stuff food in are so valuable. It doesn’t substitute for exercise or training but it is such a great addition to your dog’s routine.
We finally put the pieces together to have a Cowboy style Shootout. We will be adding a few more fun details but it took a couple weeks to get to this point. Getting her to back up while I stood still was a bit tricky as well as being able to play dead from a distance. #bordercollie #bordercolliesofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtricks #happydog #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement

These videos were taken back to back. The harness helps me to have better control of Harley so that we can work on walking nicely #2houndsdesigns #dogtraining #dogtrainer #happydog #positivereinforcementtraining
B got to pick back up on his weekly walks with us today! He is took a field trip to Lowe’s and he did great.
Little late night enrichment yesterday. I had some extra broccoli after cooking so the dogs each gave it a try 🤣
Goofing around with Bear! He enrolled in a Board and Train maybe a year-ago?! He still got it with his Place behavior 😎 Delilah was playing while I threw some toys around and Bear LOVES toys, he stayed put until released. What a good boy! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #boardandtrain #unleashpawsitivity #doodlesofinstagram #dogboarding #positivereinforcement
