How can we, as pet parents set ourselves up for success!🐕

We’ve discussed in previous posts how having realistic expectations and moving at our dogs pace is so important for our dogs success!

But…..

We haven’t discussed how important it is set up realistic expectations for ourselves and working at our own pace as pet parents!

🐾We all have busy days in our schedules. Busy with activities like work, taking care of kids, hobbies, appointments, school, clubs, sports etc. It can be hard to include time to work with your dog on training.

🐾Some days you may have time to train with your dog for an hour and other days you’ll only have 15 minutes. That’s okay! Anytime spent working towards our goal is still valuable!

🐾Just like how we are patient with our dogs we have to be patient with ourselves and be mindful of working at our dogs pace and also our pace.

🐾So no matter if you can dedicate 5 minutes or 45 minutes today go out and train with your dog!🐶

☀️Preventing hot dogs on hot days!☀️

I love doing summer activities with my dogs! But do my dogs love it?

🐾With summer arriving it can be hard to tell if your dog is too hot in the summer heat

🐾When training with our dogs we work a lot on learning to read our dogs body language. This is so important because this is how our dogs communicate with us!

🐾This tool is valuable in dog training for countless reasons but is also so important for your dogs health and well being!

🐾Just like how our dogs communicate to us that they are nervous or upset they can also communicate to us when they feel unwell or uncomfortable

🐾The most common ways dogs communicate to us that they are too hot are…

-Excessive panting
-Excessive salivating
-Pulling on the leash towards shade
-Sitting/laying down
-Labored breathing
Etc.

☀️Make sure to listen to your dogs needs and body language this summer so your pup can stay happy and healthy!☀️

Does your dog struggle with reactivity? 🐕

Reactivity is something a lot of my dog clients struggle with

Reactivity can look like….
🐾Barking
🐾Lunging
🐾Growling
🐾 Pulling towards the trigger
🐾etc.

And lots of things can cause reactivity like…
🐾Other dogs
🐾People
🐾Bicycles
🐾Cars
🐾Skateboards
🐾People wearing hats
🐾etc.

Having a reactive dog can make pet parents feel frustrated and embarrassed. Trying to manage reactivity on your own can feel impossible! If this sounds like you please feel free to reach out! I’m here to help set you and your dog up for success!🐶

By using positive reinforcement training we can work at your dogs pace and create positive associations to your dogs triggers. Counter conditioning, desensitizing and staying under threshold is so important to help our dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed near a trigger.

It’s important to find a dog trainer that is educated and qualified to help you train your pup!

🐾As dog trainers we are not here to “fix” your dogs. Your dogs aren’t broken!

🐾Dog training is NOT doing whatever we can in the quickest way possible to “fix” the “bad behavior” while disregarding the health and well-being of the dog.

🐾We are here to use modern, humane and science based training like positive reinforcement, classical & counter conditioning, desensitizing, etc.

🐾We are here to help dogs feel calm, comfortable, safe and happy.

🐾It’s about respecting the dog and working at the dogs pace.

🐾It’s about dedicating our time as certified dog trainers to be growing our knowledge and continuing our ongoing education so we can help dog parents and their dogs.

🐾So no, I’m not going to tell you I can “guarantee” your dogs “bad behaviors” will be “fixed.”

🐾But as a certified dog trainer I am dedicated to help train and guide you and your dog to help build your relationship and work towards your training goals using positive reinforcement and science based training.
