Rocky is out for his first field trip! The sun is out, it's not freezing cold, which means everyone and their dog and their bicycles will be out so we are going hunting. 😎 Time to go find all of those triggers and see how all of our hard work on the property has paid off!

Happy weekend everyone! I hope you enjoy the day even though it's raining LOL.

Tazz only knew one speed.... Mach 5 so giving love and affection was hard without getting mauled 😅
Through both praise/affection and fair corrections, he's finally starting to understand that if he wants the loves he has to keep 4 paws on the floor. That's our rule, 4 on the floor. He loves affection but it was hard to give it when he was a mess of jumping and mouthiness. Now he's slowly understanding how to be a gentleman which makes us love him even more. 🥰

Do you have a soft spot for puppy dog eyes? Beware, it can get you into trouble...
I love a good snuggle with my dogs and I love giving them affection. That's what's so great about dogs right?! 🥰 However, it can turn on you really quick if you're giving affection at the wrong time.
Giving affection whenever your dog bumps your arm, shoves their face on your lap, barks at you, jumps on you, even sneaks in unknowingly and all of a sudden you have a giant lap dog... All of these are teaching your dog that not only can they DEMAND your attention and you give it to them, they can become so attached to your affection that they crave it like a drug and it creates a terrible dependency that they can't break on their own.
Do I feel like a prick for denying this sweet girl affection? I mean, look at that face! 🥹 Absolutely not 😅 I know that if I give into those sweet eyes I'll just keep adding to the beast. I'll gladly give her affection! When she's calm and relaxed or when we're playing. But when she's already struggling to shut her nervous system down it's the last thing I need to do right now. Ultimately I know withholding the affection will help her in the long run create a better relationship with myself and her owner and I'm in these things for the long run... Not just a quick fix.

Remy came back to stay with us for a few days while her owner went skiing and I couldn't have been happier about it! I was so sad when she left us to go home after her board and train so it's so great to get to love on her again and go for these awesome off leash walks. 🥰

All the fun things we slowly learn about Tazz the longer he is with us 😆🥰
Some dogs love ice cubes. My dogs, not so much. Tazz is basically a lover of all things. All. The. Things. Everything is fun for him. Everything is a game. He makes us laugh (and maybe cuss a bit lol) every single day. ❤️

Whoever ends up with this goofball is going to be entertained for the rest of his life lol.

New years resolutions got you thinking? How about resolving to get those dogs trained up in the new year? It's time to really enjoy your dog again and that starts with obedience.
Remember, it's not just about dog training... It's about training you to be a better handler, giving clearer directions, and learning how best to manage your dog to help better your relationship all around. ❤️

Basic Obedience will continue to be Thursday nights but Intermediate Obedience is switching it up a bit and moving to Wednesdays at 10:30 am!

Come join the fun!

It's quiet in the house for a little bit after the dogs helped us work with the board and train dogs.
Do you have a dog that just has SO MUCH ENERGY? It's probably an under satisfied dog. Go out and play tug. Go out for a long walk. Go run/bike with your dog. Dogs aren't meant to just lounge around the house all day every day. They were meant to get out and move and if they don't get satisfied with that physical and mental work then they turn their attention elsewhere... Like your house.
Do you have a destructive dog? Go work it.
Want a nice quiet afternoon with your dog lounging by you? Make sure you satisfy them so you can.

There are a lot of under satisfied dogs out there that are causing trouble for their owners. Some dogs need more effort than others, but every dog needs something from their owners to be happy and satisfied. ❤️

This is one of my most favorite games to play with my dogs. Hide and seek!
Your dog MUST have a decent sit/stay or down/stay to play this game. They must also love the toy you're trying to hide. If they don't care, they won't play.
This tests their impulse control, their commands, distance, distractibility, and their determination to keep going until they find that toy. And when they do it's got to be a freaking party! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I will do this with my dogs when the weather is just horrendous and I really don't want to exercise them outside or just stick them on a treadmill. This is great teamwork and it's just so much fun to do with your dog!

So the next time it's raining buckets, or it's colder than Antarctica, try this game instead!
