Give your pup a chance to say yes or no while petting!

Pausing lets them communicate if they want more pets or need a break. It’s a simple way to make sure every pet is enjoyed and never overwhelming. Pet, pause, and listen to their cues!

If you have a dog who is reactive to other dogs or people, one of the most valuable skills you can teach is how to disengage. Disengagement helps your dog learn to shift their focus away from something and return their attention to you.

Right now, our trainers are working with Misti on disengaging from a low-interest, boring object. As she becomes more confident with that skill, we will gradually increase the difficulty by introducing more interesting distractions. Over time, this same skill will be applied around dogs and people.

This gradual progression, starting easy and building up step by step, is how effective skill building works.

Let's celebrate Mambo and his incredible progress! 🙌

Mambo’s journey shows that hope is never lost, even for dogs who have shown aggression. From biting during petting and reacting to guests, to resource guarding and vet visit stress, he’s faced many challenges.

Through consistent training, enrichment, and the dedication of his pet parents, Mambo now seeks affection safely, manages his reactivity, and even handles vet visits calmly. These wins prove what’s possible with the right support and guidance.

If your dog struggles with aggression or reactivity, our team of professional trainers and behavior consultants can help. Reach out today and start building the tools for success!

This is exactly why we do what we do. Dogs who seem aggressive, reactive, or anxious aren’t bad...they’re just misunderstood. Our trainers love being the ones to help these dogs feel safe, build confidence, and show their true, loving personalities.

Every dog deserves the chance to be understood and supported and Canine PhD is here to make that happen!

Recall is one of the most important skills your dog can learn, and the key is practice...everywhere! 🐾

Start inside the house, then move to different rooms, hallways, and your backyard.

Gradually increasing distractions helps your dog understand that “come” means come, no matter where you are.

Need help building a strong, reliable recall? Our trainers can come to your home while you’re at work, running errands, or just out and about, and help your dog practice in real-life situations. Contact us on our website today!

Our trainer is working on "place" with Sadie! This is also called mat work. But it is SO much more than just lying down on a sheet!

"Place" helps your dog learn patience, impulse control, and focus, like staying calm while you open the door or greeting guests.

"Place" is a versatile tool that you can incorporate in so many everyday situations!

Does your dog know "place"? 😁
