hard to collaborate on training cases and add even more features for our clients. Marni has been training dogs since 2012 when she finished her Animal Behavior College Dog Training Certification. She makes it a priority to keep up with the most recent developments in the science of dog training and behavior and is driven by compassion and dedication. Marni has a deep connection to both dogs and their people and loves to see the positive results that working with clients can achieve. She has worked with hundreds of families and their pets in developing strong lifelong relationships built on mutual respect and trust.

Belle worked with us on settling on her bed to fine tune her ability to relax on cue. Mat work is such a great tool for any dog, you'd be surprised how easily a hyperactive pup can pick up on this.

We still have a couple of spots left in our next Sensible Skills class starting this Monday, 3/24 at 7:30pm. This is our general manners course where we go over all the basics including; sit, down, stay, leave it, loose leash walking, polite greetings, mat work, the always important recalls, and how to have fun while training! All group classes will be held in Lakewood.

If your dog already has these foundation skills, this can still be a great opportunity for them to practice around other dogs and distractions in a safe setting. Contact us now to sign up: https://sensiblecanine.com

Bow took an environmental enrichment break when working on leash reactivity with other dogs. His snow angels were the best and they allowed him to get back at the task with less anxiety!

After teaching our dogs to settle in different distractions at home, we can take these skills out and about. You’ll want to understand your dog and be accommodating enough not to push this skill in such a way where they feel overwhelmed or anxious. Summit did great being outside during a neighborhood get together and was able to lay down with loud noises in the background and even made eye contact while in place. We practiced for a short period of time before giving her a break back home.

Learning to lay on a bed and settle in different contexts at home is a great skill to have but can take time to learn based on the dog’s temperament and their learning history. Working with Summit without any distractions, we started with a cue to go to her bed. Next, we worked on incorporating this skill in real life situations at home. We had the dogs work on settling on their respective beds next to the dining table. Eventually, with enough practice, your dogs can learn to lay down in a more relaxed manner and for longer periods of time.

Patience is an important skill that needs to be taught to our pups since it doesn't come naturally for most of our furry friends. Having multiple dogs in our home, it's important for any four legged family member to learn the skills individually at first and then generalize the skills to working with multiple dogs at the same time. There are various ways we can build on this foundation skill, one example being the use of different value cookies.

Being in new locations can be a very different experience and the unpredictability can be scary for some dogs. However, we can be strategic with positively and safely exposing our dogs to new locations. Shopping areas where dogs don’t tend to visit as much and during quieter times of day are a good place to start. We took Summit out during a weekday morning to Sierra Trading Post. Using a shopping cart with her puppy carrier to keep her physically safe, we were able to expose her to the sights and sounds of the store. Once she was a few weeks older, I also walked her into a few dog friendly gift shops and let her explore.

It’s easy to focus on getting our dogs comfortable with people and dogs, but novel objects are also an integral part of socialization/desensitization. A puppy’s first few months of life is the ideal time to provide our dogs with a variety of opportunities to safely explore the environment around them. One thing to play around with is surfaces on which your dog can step. Here you see Summit putting her paws up on a balance pod and climbing up her human brother’s jungle gym.

Focus and attention are important to teach any dog. From the get go, whenever Summit paid attention to me, she was rewarded with a tasty cookie. This helped to teach her that paying attention with eye contact is a behavior worth repeating. Don’t worry - her brother, Mowgli, got a treat too as soon as I put the camera away.

Teaching a dog to respond to their name is another important tool when you first introduce them to their new home. Watch Summit’s head turn towards us the first time she hears her name and her tail wagging in happy anticipation of a treat when she hears her name the second time. When teaching these new skills, we make sure to practice at home first with less distractions.
