Rehearsal of Pulling is super powerful if pulling on leash helps your dog get it wants:
🐾 a pat from that friendly-person
🐾 to sniff that piece of trash
🐾 Getting closer to that exciting dog, critter or leaf blowing in the wind
🙁 Dogs learn pulling is a super effective way to get what they want.They also learn “if I pull hard enough, the human at the end of the leash moves.”
🤯 Rehearsal of pulling is very powerful – the more they practice leash pulling the more they will pull in future.
So what to do.
💡 If your dog is pulling, don’t move with your dog. Anchor yourself in place. Yes, you might be there a bit. Then once your dog loosens the leash play a game that refocuses your dog onto you.
❤️And you can do that by downloading our Loose Leash Walking game plan e-book.

🐶 Puppies are a fresh slate, and we can’t get enough of helping them off to a fantastic start. Ideally, puppies start training classes at 8 weeks of age as long as:
🐾 They are healthy
🐾 Have started their vaccines and are kept up to date
👏 Puppy classes set you and your puppies up for success from day one. We can promote positive behavior, reduce your frustration and help keep your dog in its forever home.
🎗️We know that’s what you want too, but we also know it can feel overwhelming, there is a lot to do and you might not know what to do. We get it.’
❤️ That’s why here at The Well-Mannered Dog we want to give you this FREE our FREE Super Puppy e-book to get you started in that direction.

Is your dog ready for some back to school fun?
Remember, keep your training sessions short. Each game you play to grow your dog's skills just needs 3 minutes a day. If you play 5 games a day that is 15 minutes of daily training.
And if you are enrolling in classes for the fall, now is the time to enroll as many classes fill up after Labor day.
❤️ 💪 Taking action on your training goals feels fantastic. You feel confident and in control of meeting your dog owning dreams.
🐾 And it doesn’t have to be a lot you do. Just 1 small action each day adds up.
🎉 Whoot Whoot! Share the wins and successes you had with your dog’s training this month.
😳 What did your dog surprise you on?
🏆 What did your dog do a bit better on than 1 month ago?
👏 Even senior dogs can learn new skills. Look at Luna go.
❓Have you heard dog trainers say, where the value goes, your dog will go?
😟 what does that mean for your training?
🐕 Your dog is going to migrate to what is valuable to them. For example, when on a walk, most people hold leash in the hand close to their dog and their food reward in the other hand.
🤔 But then they complain because their dog is crossing over in front of them to get closer to the food reward.
🧀 🥩 The dog is just trying to get closer to that food that it values. The solution is to have the leash in the hand away from the dog and to have to food in the hand close to the dog.
❓Does your dog jump on people?
😟 Your dog jumps, you tell them off and they get off, but they do it again next time.
🐕 That is fantastic, that your dog gets off when you tell it to, but wouldn't be wonderful if they did not jump in the first place.
Just think:
🐾 no more muddy foot prints on your cloths,
🐾 no more yelling when you have company.
🐾 No more embarrassment.

🐾 your goals
🐾 your dreams
🐾 your struggles
🌟 We are here for you, tell us what your goals, dreams, and struggles with your dog are!
❓Are you gearing up for getting back into your dog's training once September hit?
🙌 Well, we have some fantastic tips coming your way.
I’m always so thrilled when old clients come back to training when they get a new dog.
One of the first things they notice is all the changes. They notice all new:
🐾 games
🐾 strategies
🐾 tips
💗 This is because I’m dedicated in bringing you the best, most efficient and fun ways to train your dog. As the professional dog training world better understands how to train dogs and gets new insights into training, I bring those into our training.
🤯 But what this means is students need to open their eyes to new training information, be ready to embrace it and to change what they have been doing. Because that new information is better than the old.
❝The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.❞

🍪 Much of the time, we have to experiment to see what rewards will be effective.
🤔 Just because you hand your dog a piece of food and your dog eats it, doesn’t mean it rewarded a behavior.
❓Why?
🤯 Because a reward is something your dog is driven to obtain. When you give a reward, what does your dog do right after?
🐕 Does it turn away from you to gawk at something else? I’m sorry to say, you don’t have a reward.
🐶 🎰 Does your dog stare at you, waiting for the next reward? Bingo! You have an effective reward.

Ha! For your rascally puppy a shoe is not just a shoe. It is something to:
🐾 Chew On
🐾 Race through the house with in hopes you will chase them
🐾 whip around so it smacks them in the head
🐾 explore
Putting shoes where your puppy can't get them will prevent all those things from happening.
❓Are you gearing up for getting back into your dog's training once September hit?
🙌 Well, we have some fantastic tips coming your way.
❤️ You know your dog is going to be excited, right. To make getting into class easier and seamless try these things:
🐾 arrive 10 minutes early so you are not rushing. This will also give your dog an opportunity to calm down and settle in before training starts.
🐾 carry your training supplies in a back pack. This will leave hands free for your leash and giving rewards.
🌊 Ripples. When you create a difference in someone's life you not only impact their life you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. No act is ever too small. One by one this is how to make an ocean rise.
- Danielle Doby
What ripples will you and your dog create today?
"
Is your dog afraid of Thunder? If so try to:
• keep your dog on leash if it is outside
• keep it moving if it is inside
Movement is a great coping strategy. The more your dog moves, that better it will feel.
You can get your dog moving by:
• tossing pieces of food across the room for your dog to chase after.
• tossing toys
• playing tug
• having your dog on leash and walking it around the house.
And if the sound is too loud and your dog can't do that, try muffling the sound by putting your dog in a room with music or a loud fan on.

🌟 Scatter feeding is a wonderful way to engage your dog’s brain in an appropriate way while teaching them to focus long at the task at hand.
❤️ One way to Scatter Feed
Sprinkle your dog's food in the grass covering a 5-foot by 3-foot area. Toss it out there just like you were tossing out chicken scratch. Let your dog sniff out and eat each piece of food. Overtime, increase the amount of space that you scatter the food.

🦮 👃Your dog’s nose is in the grass. It is sniffing, sniffing, sniffing.
🎰 Are your willing to bet $5000, that if you called your dog, it would turn on a dime and come racing to you?
💰Your dog is barking at the fence, can you make that bet?
💸Your dog is playing, can you make that bet?
🚫 No? Thats ok, but don’t call your dog.
🤯 Dogs get better at what they practice, so if your dog practice ignoring you, it will get better at ignoring you.
🍪 Instead of calling your dog, use any attention noise (it can be a word or a sound) that interrupts the behavior, grabs its attention (“car rides”, “cookie”, etc.,) and reward them with what you promised.
💡Then train your come cue to have the same value, the same association of good deal for them.
🐾 if they are moving towards you anyway, say “come” and reward
🐾 Toss a piece of food away. After your dog get it and turns back to you say “come” and when your dog gets to you reward
🐾 Play hide and go seek games
🌟 There are a ton of ways to teach your dog to come when you call it.

❤️ August Puppy Biting and Nipping Tip
🩹OUUUUUCH! Puppy biting hurts!
🐶 Puppies don’t come into this world know how to play with us and toys. This is a learned behavior.
👀 Watch for second and you will see they are just grabbing at what ever they can and they the lack physical coordination to know if they are missing their mark (the toy) and getting you instead.
🤯 The key is to use long toys (24- 36 inches long) to set them up for success. Drag the toy on the ground, getting your puppy to chase it.
🦷 The further the way your hand is from your puppies month, the less your hands will be targeted for biting.
🚫 If they grab and want to tug, fantastic, if they want to chase it great. But if they grab you, play stops.
🌟Teaching your puppy what to bite and how to play can be so helpful.
🙌 Download our FREE Puppy Biting e-book for my tips and strategies.
