This beautiful, smart girl is full of energy! (I think dog Mirabel would love to play with her!) She wasn’t sure about me when I arrived, but before long we were good friends! I had a really enjoyable session with her and her people!

Look at these gorgeous puppies from my Saturday plus a visitor from Friday’s class who came to play and to practice watching calmly (he ROCKED it!)! We’re working on all the things, but lots of on balance equipment and platforms.

After a vet tech told me one of the things she’d most like puppies to be able to do during vet visits is get on the scale, we practiced getting on things and sitting. As you can see, everyone did a beautiful job! When your puppy goes to the vet for vaccines or a wellness check, bring treats to help them with things like getting on the scale and sitting still, getting through shots, and greeting the vet and vet tech, and to make all of it a more positive experience for your puppy!

I decided to add a bonus sniffing game.
The treat-dispensing toy I used in the video is the Ruffwear Gnawt-a-Rock. But you can really use any treat-dispensing toy for this game.

Happy Thanks-Sniffing!
Stay tuned! In December I'll be sharing the Twelve Days of Training!

In this game, you'll see that Mirabel goes to the dropped object but doesn't pick it up. I've decided I like this better than having her pick up the object. When I play again, I'll encourage her to "show me" and I'll treat her AT the dropped object (in scent work this would be called "the source" of the odor). So I like this alternative option, and I'm going to keep encouraging it!

Don't use all of your containers for Thanksgiving leftovers! You'll need some for today's Thanks-Sniffing game! Odin helps me demonstrate one of the basic scentwork games, finding scent (in this case food) in one of several matching containers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you have a puppy under 5 months old, this is the best time to start training and to get some relief from the puppy blues! (Yes, puppies are HARD WORK!) Plus, puppy play time is a great opportunity for your puppy to learn bite inhibition!

Class starts on Saturday, 12/7 at 9am!
Registration closes in just a few days!

Our third Thanks-Sniffing game! This one is super simple. Just start out by tossing a treat or two on the floor for your pup and giving them a cue like "Find it!" Repeat a few times, and then you can make the game a little harder by putting the treat in more challenging spots.

Here's game 2! Please note that Odin is hard of hearing and has some rear limb and hip issues. I use a lot of hand signals with him because he doesn't hear well. Also, he's 12, doesn't follow directions as well as he used to, and has pretty much earned the right to do whatever he wants to do :)

Game 1: start out by offering just ONE hand with a treat in it. Ask your dog "which hand?" and treat as soon as your dog sniffs your hand. After you do this a few times, offer an empty hand AND the treat hand and let your dog sniff. As soon as your dog sniffs the hand with the treat, open your hand and release the treat. Repeat a few times. You should see your dog start to choose the correct hand more often.

Trying something new, Folks! Your feedback is welcomed. Check out my video introducing my Thanks-Sniffing week games for dogs.
