Your dog is scared of
🐾 A person
🐾 A dog
🐾 A sound
🐾 A smell
🐾 A sight

❓The big question people ask is should I comfort them or give them treats.

And the answer is yes - but keep reading.

Food rewards do make behaviors stronger (external actions)
But Fear is not a behavior it is an emotion.(internal states of mind)

👍 So yes, comfort your dog, try to give it treats but also try to get your dog out of that situation as best as you can.

🤗 🦴 By comforting and giving treats, you will not make fear stronger, but your dog also is not learning to over come its fear because learning can not take place in that emotional state.

Have you ever struggled to get your dog to do a basic behavior, even something simple like a sit or down?

Sometimes your dog's structure will affect how easy it is for them to do a behavior. What they need is for us to refine how we go about getting the behavior.

It is about the art of training instead of the science of training.

🚫 Many people think, putting a muzzle on their dog will allow them to safely socialize their dog.

But it doesn’t!

⛑️ Just because your dog can’t bite a person or dog doesn’t mean it can’t traumatize them, knock them over or hurt them.

😔 And your dog is still practicing the emotions that are causing the struggle in the first place.

Instead, the goal is to expose your dog a distance away that it can
🐾 be calm
🐾 Be confident
🐾 Disengage
🐾 Lower its arousal level if it does go up.

Have you noticed when you are stressed out, grumpy or just feeling emotional, your dog picks up on those emotions.

Yes, our dogs are super empathetic animals.

When you are off, its ok to say, I’m not the best person I can be for my dog today and pass on the days training session

Oh my gosh! How lucky am I. This week, I got to start Private training with these 2 little cuties. The Heeler puppy is Ruby and the Mini Schnauzer puppy is Syd.

Sooo cute. They are both almost blank canvases ready to learn.

The behaviors you reward today, become your dog’s default behaviors tomorrow.
Its not too late to start rewarding behaviors you like to ensure good manners during the holidays.

Consider rewarding
🐾 Rewarding feet on the floor when people come in the door.
🐾 Moving away from things of interest
🐾 Dropping objects (even toys) on cue.
🐾 Resting on a bed or mat
🐾 Being in the kitchen on a calming mat or rewarding feet on the ground.
🐾 Calmness When Confined
🐾 Engaging with toys or chew (yes, reward that)
🐾 Laying quietly on a mat. Don't get it excited just quietly reward it.
🐾 Being Calm on leash
🐾 Sitting for attention
