FIT Dog Level 2 skill
On her birthday, Mirabel learned that she passed her AKC FIT Dog Level 1 class with flying colors! We’re starting to practice her Level 2 skills (this video)! Mirabel wants you to know that your dog can do cool stuff like this too! Sign up for her FIT Dog Level 1 class now and she’ll show you how! PM me for info.
Want to have a little fun with your dog? Try AKC FIT Dog Level 1! Mirabel is demonstrating just a few of the skills we'll cover in class. We will work with various types of equipment, we'll work on strength, flexibility, a bit of cardio, and endurance, and most of what we cover doubles as tricks for AKC trick dog titles. Whether you're interested in titles, or just having some fun with your dog, you'll love this class!
Class runs for 6 weeks starting September 14th at 6pm. Learn more and register here: https://www.yourbestbehaviorpa.com/.../akc-fit-dog-level...

Dogs, dog training, and preparing for sessions with clients and their dogs provide me with a needed break from my regular job. In my down time, I’m studying for the Certified Professional Dog Trainer exam. But on very rare occasions, I need a little break from dogs. Today, “coloring” this cat was my break. Here’s a video showing the progression.
Squirrel! Distraction training game
Here’s a quick demo of my dog Taylor playing a starter distraction game from week 1 of our Squirrel class. If you weren’t sure your dog could do it, your dog can do it!!! #yourbestbehaviorpa #squirrelclass

A little fun in class last night.
Puppy play
Are you seeing some tail envy here? 🤣 (from last week’s puppy kindergarten class)

Saturdays are now “Scatterdays,” and we’re going to try something new. Every Scatterday we’re going to share a video about how scatter feeding can help you with training and problem behaviors. Here’s an example. Taylor loves to dig and he can’t respond to my recall when he digs. But he can hear his scatter cue and he comes running for just a few treats (actually his regular boring food)! #scatterday #yourbestbehaviorpa #yourbestbehaviordogtraining #dogs #dogtraining #whenyourrecallfails #gooddog #goodboy #odinandtaylor
I got to work with this little cutie, Irving, today. Here he is playing an “orienting” game, where he gets a treat for orienting back to his mom. That little hop happened every time, and it was adorable! #yourbestbehaviorpa #yourbestbehavior #watchme #dogtraining #chihuahuamix #goodboy #yourbestbehaviordogtraining
Training Tip Tuesday: all dogs can benefit from learning to be comfortable wearing a muzzle. Start slowly, giving treats for approaching the muzzle, or putting their nose in for a second or two. #dogtraining #muzzletraining #loveyourdog #trainyourdog #trainingtips #australianshepherd #gooddog
The puppies are getting big (in some cases, extra big!).
