๐Ÿคฏ What would happen if you set a plate of food on the coffee table and then went back into the kitchen to get something?

Would your dog:
๐Ÿพ gulp down the food?
๐Ÿพ have a little taste?
๐Ÿพ leave it alone?

๐Ÿคฃ Ha! A lot of dogs would think that food is fair game. After all they are scavengers.

๐Ÿฅ‡Just getting the food on the table is a first step and that is one of the things the adorable Murphy has been learning and making fantastic progress with.

Is your dog sleep deprived? ๐Ÿ’ค

๐Ÿถ Adult dogs need, about eight to fourteen hours of sleep a day.

โž•Plus another 8 hours True Deep rest , calming activities like chewing, licking and sniffing to encourage calmness in your dog. ๐Ÿฆฎ
๐Ÿพ Too much stimulation to tiring!

If you notice an increase of misbehavior, or your dog struggles with reactivity, take a look at how much rest your dog is getting. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ญ Loose leash walking is one of those things that dog lovers dream of. Even before their new dog comes home, they are picturing the lovely walk and hikes together.

๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธโ€โžก๏ธFor many it is the reason they get a dog in the first place - a companion they can take on peaceful, relaxed walks in the neighborhood, hikes, outings to in the park or beach.

๐Ÿค” ๐ŸŒ… Can you picture it, you and your lovely dog at sunset having a wonderful stroll together.

๐Ÿšซ As you probably know, the reality of what you have can be vastly different. It can feel like a long, drawn-out game of tug of war with you on the losing team.

๐Ÿพ On top of all that I know you worry about about if your dog may be hurting its neck, throat or spine and you worry about the surprises, what will be around each corner, what people, dogs, cats, and wildlife will pop up.

A Stunning Little Secret

๐Ÿคฏ The responsibility for keeping the leash loose is not all yours. Your dog should share that responsibility with you. Your responsibility is to:
๐Ÿพ give your dog the education it needs to gain the skills to take on some responsibility to then make fantastic choices.
๐Ÿพ To stop doing your share of the pulling
๐Ÿพ And to have reasonable expectations about what your dog is ready for.

And here is a great start for you.

๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ Historically, dogs going nose to nose & possibly playing is what people think of when they think about socialization.

โ“But what does your dog learn if it gets overly excited or scared during that process?
๐Ÿ’กExactly, they learn other dogs are exciting or scary.๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿ‘€ So in todays video, we talk about what socialization should look like.

When life gets tough, Do What You Can Do and Let Go Of What You Canโ€™t Do.

๐Ÿ˜ฉ Each of us will have times in which life gets tough. We canโ€™t get it all done. Not a problem. Focus on what you can do and let go of everything else.๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿคฏ A lot of dogs donโ€™t like being grabbed.

๐Ÿ˜ขIt is aversive. And a lot of times it is what happens when they are naughty.

๐ŸถLittle dogs struggle even more because we are giants compared to them and people have a tendency to pick them up more.

โญ๏ธBut you can resolve this struggle by teaching your dog to put its collar into your hand and that is what Jessica and Roo are nailing in this video.

๐Ÿ™ Every week dog owners come to me with a specific behavioral problem with their dog and hope that there is a "one thing" solution. Just one thing they can do.

๐Ÿ˜ฆ Unfortunately, behavior is rarely that simple. It almost never looks like this:

One Behavior โžก๏ธ One Cause

๐Ÿงฉ Generally, several different pieces of the puzzle are missing to create the behavior or training struggle.

One Behavior
๐Ÿพ 1 small cause
๐Ÿพ Another small cause
๐Ÿพ A Huge Cause
๐Ÿพ Another small cause

Your dog's behavior is like a recipe in which every "ingredient" will impact the outcome in some way.

Let's get specific. One issue many dog owners have is barking. Dogs bark for a variety of reasons, such as:
๐Ÿพ Frustration
๐Ÿพ Fear
๐Ÿพ High Arousal
๐Ÿพ Attention

๐Ÿคฏ To adequately address barking, we need to address all of these causes. Not just the one that seems the easiest or the one we want to work on.

Unless we address all of them, the behavior will not get that much better. All puzzle pieces need to be in place. If you pick and choose one or two, chances are the behavior won't completely improve.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ“The students who succeed the fastest in my training programs are the ones that implement all the pieces.

โญ๏ธ Just like you wouldn't randomly leave out half the ingredients of a recipe, don't skip half of the training/management for your dog. Set them and yourself up for success by implementing all the pieces.
