In a perfect world, everyone coming into the house would follow the no talk/touch/eye contact rule when interacting with an excitable puppy prone to jumping, but we live in a world full of weirdos - so we put Cash’s new found manners to the test with one of our own! Now THAT’S a greeting!

What do dog trainers do on Memorial Day? Oh you know, just the traditional trusting-a-food-obsessed-Lab-puppy to watch your pizza. And that recall passed it? Absolutely amazing, Cash!

Go tiny dog, go! Would you believe that not only was this small gentleman reactive to anything and everything - barking and lunging and being generally completely uncontrollable, but that it was so bad that his family also used to call him “devil dog?” It’s true, but look at him now - reliable public obedience even with a dropped leash. Calm, cool, and collected - this little guy is ready to embrace his much brighter future.
We see it all the time, small dogs out in public - completely out of control and sometimes even dangerous, but it’s not taken seriously due to their size or worse - it’s seen as “cute.” Well it’s not cute and obedience training doesn’t stop just because a dog is under 20lbs. The only thing that makes a small dog a disaster by default is the lack of training and expectations for these dogs due only to their size.

Go tiny dog, go! Size is no barrier for reliable obedience. Before training, this little guy was reactive to anything and everything - losing his mind, lunging and barking and being totally out of control, and his family even referred to him as “devil dog” - now look at him! Reliable obedience in public, even with a dropped leash. Calm and attentive, his future is lookin bright! How many times do we see toy breeds out in public, completely out of control, and simply because of their size it is treated as normal - or worse, as “cute.” Well, it’s not cute - and it’s not inevitable that your small dog behaves like a terror.

“You can’t train a dog as an adult!” “You can’t train a small dog!” Well these three weren’t willing to take those accusations…lying down 😜. But in all seriousness, these are some reliable down-stays! All of these dogs received training as adults, long after the golden period of training in puppyhood had passed. You dog’s age or size should never be a barrier to training, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks and just because your dog may be small doesn’t mean their skills have to be.
Old or young, big or small, Red Dog Blue Dog trains them all!

Did you know that with training done right, tools or static reward mechanisms aren’t forever? Every tool we use and every reward we give is with the intention of moving towards this. No tools, no physical rewards - only the bond of shared respect and clarity of communication that training can provide. No reward or tool should be the only thing to guarantee behavior, we don’t do bribes and we don’t do threats - we create the connections today that will create the relationship you want tomorrow. You crawl before you can run, and training wheels come before the Tour de France - and just like dog training, if you skip those first steps - you’ll land flat on your face.

A muzzle might just save your dog’s life one day. Whether it’s to prevent them from eating something dangerous, harming themselves during recovery, staying safe around other animals, or making handling safe for pet professionals - muzzles are an excellent tool that all dogs can situationally benefit from. So what’s the problem?
For many dogs, the first time they are introduced to a muzzle is when they are already under extreme stress or in pain, which makes the experience awful and creates fear of the tool. But by positively conditioning an appropriately fitting muzzle ahead of time, you can turn a potential disaster into a breeze!

Teeth cleaning, bathing, brushing nail trims are all part of body handling - and if we had a kibble for every dog we’ve seen recently who needed to get a handle on these skills, we’d be fatter than a Labrador after grandma comes to visit. These skills not only make your life easier, but make a world of difference for the vet and the groomer too!
And thank you in advance for not mentioning that my legs just might be whiter than the dog 😂 🤣

Horrible weather outside, so you know what that means - it’s time for another montage!
Everyone’s favorite bionic doodle, back at it after his mechanics needed an upgrade!
You’ll notice a couple things about this video, aside from our handsome friend here. First, there’s no reactivity. No barking, no lunging, no scaring the kids or the other dogs. Second, there is almost no formal command work. That’s right, next to none. While we do teach obedience commands, our primary focus is on behavioral health and teaching the dog how to make the right decisions without needing to be micromanaged 24/7. Clarity and communication, autonomy and empowerment are the keys to successful behavior modification.
You dog should be allowed to look at things.
Your dog should be allowed to interact respectfully with the environment.
Your dog shouldn’t need a focused heel or a treat two inches off their nose to function.
Your dog deserves to live their life, and you do too.

For their New Year’s resolution - these boys agreed to stop all that fighting and hostility in the house and work on being calmer and more relaxed gentlemen! As we close out the year, it looks like they are already well on their way. No leashes, no hostility, just some nice examples of what life looks like with a well trained dog - a reality where the whole family can relax and enjoy their morning coffee.

These two haven’t always gotten along, and they have the emergency vet (and yes, emergency room) bills to prove it. They are making great strides in working together as a team, coming a long way from the time when even looking at each other was a risky business. No doubt, these boys are lookin good!

Too-Much-Mulligan is a dog on a mission, trouble is he doesn’t always understand what that mission is but he thinks he needs to bring 100% of this intensity 100% of the time, being calm just wasn’t part of his skill set. As part of his training working towards more appropriate social behaviors, he’s putting in the work learning to just slow down and listen. He may not be a Zen master just yet, but he’s getting there!

No need to hold the leash here - just some great movement exercises with zero leash pressure. Good thing too, we forgot our gloves but thanks to appropriate leash skills we got to keep our hands warm in our pockets the whole time! Leash walking doesn’t have to be difficult, and it shouldn’t be - you should both enjoy your time outside. When your relationship is founded in mutual respect and communication - every step you take will be in the right direction.

Call us crazy, but we think you BOTH deserve to enjoy your walks - and loose leash on a long line is a perfect way to make that happen! No pulling, great functional obedience around distractions, and the joys that only well-earned freedom can provide! You and your dog both deserve fulfillment, and you never need to compromise real obedience results to get the lifestyle you both enjoy.
