These boys were fun to train, but now they are on their way home, but not before a complimentary bath and nail trim, and of course "chewies" for being such good boys.
These boys have successfully completed a 4-week basic manners board and train, which included: walking nicely on a leash, sitting for dinner, no jumping on people, crate training, public outings (visiting stores), automatic sit when stopping on a walk, come when called, being handled for grooming...
I hope these boys visit again, maybe just for boarding or a refresher!
Prince and King doing great with some distracted off leash recalls!
They original came for basic house manners...
They are doing really well with learning to not jump on people to get attention, walking nicely on a leash, automatically sitting when we come to a stop.
Next week we will take it on the road with new locations!
Just out with the baby dog learning some manners....
Would you take your 11 week old puppy to Hobby Lobby? Would you take your adult dog to Hobby Lobby?
If the answer is no, because you are afraid they will break something, don't be afraid to message me for your first lesson, so you can tackle your fears!
Out tonight... beautiful!!!
Tonight was little man's first time seeing a competition heel.
Where have you taken your dog to show them all these weird Halloween decorations?
🎃🐾 Halloween is right around the corner, and it's the perfect time to mix up some spooky fun with dog training! As you deck out your house with ghoulish decorations, why not use this as an opportunity to help your pup get used to new sights and sounds? Can you go to Lowe's or Home Depot? Start with basic training sessions around your Halloween setup—like getting your dog comfortable with jack-o’-lanterns or ghostly inflatables. Positive reinforcement can make this a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Share your spooky setups and training tips below! 🦴👻 #HalloweenTraining #SpookyPups #DogTraining
Walking around downtown.
Kylo getting some some people exposer. Her big struggle is jumping on people and bowling kids. We are working on appropriate behavior.
Just having a little fun with some video editing and the board and train Bear.
*Disclaimer Bear is a friendly Rottweiler, and we were working on down stays and recalls, it just happened to work with the audio I found.
Having a little fun with TikTok while editing video of today's session!
Bear is a big softie and in no way does the sound represent who he is.
Did you know...
I provide tracking instruction, focusing on footstep tracking. Unlike nosework and blood trailing, this technique is specifically utilized in the sport of IGP. This doesn't mean it isn't useful for cross sport utilization for AKC tracking, trailing, nosework, maybe even Barnhunt (maybe... but hey it's another nose/hunt sport)...
Aiko hasn't tracked in over 2 years, but that foundation never goes away...
When training a puppy for a client with mobility issues, adaptability is key. She can't really bend over, so I grabbed a cheap wooden spoon and some peanut butter... BOOM! The goal is the Duke (the puppy) Not get in front of her and Trip her up. This session included training her, the son, and grandson!
So happy I got to help this family with their two boys and two littermate dogs (Clay and Luna)get a little help in learning how to walk their dogs without being pulled down all the time.
When they showed up this young pup was pulling so hard the two boys couldn't hold onto them. By then end of the private lesson both dogs were waking nicely next to each boy with minimal corrections from me, and a whole lot of praise and treats from their kiddo owners.
Here is just a small clip of Clay and the older son. As a sport dog person, this makes me so happy to see a dog wanting to engage and looking for the next reward. Timing of correction and reward is so important, and one of the many reasons I favor balanced dog training.
Thank you for letting me help you yesterday!
