Milk, bread, eggs, and one order of Beau.

We talk about Riley's progress in her dog training. She is getting better at staying, recalling, and walking without running away. We see her tongue hanging out cutely and praise her for her good behavior. We work on having her respond to her name and not assume it's a recall command. She is learning to stick close to our left leg while walking. Overall, Riley is putting in a lot of effort and we're impressed with her progress.

We are out in the court for an early morning dog training session. It's hot, but we're working on heel with Bruno. We try to change locations every session to help the dog generalize the heel command, so they can perform it anywhere, not just in the training room. We use guidance from the collar to keep Bruno's head next to our leg, which will make him an easy dog to walk and prevent reactivity to things like passing trucks. We also practice stays and recap the training.

Thankful for shady spots to work on hot days! We just love Maisy the golden 🧡

Dogs and Kids

We discuss Beau’s reaction when Jesse first comes out, as Beau has previously growled and barked at kids. To correct this behavior, we use a 'shh' paired with an e-collar click to communicate that we don't want him to growl. We then have Jesse move around the area to continue exposing Beau to the trigger, while maintaining a neutral response. When introducing Jesse and Beau, we are cautious and don't force any interaction, allowing Beau to approach on his own terms as he seems insecure. Removing the 'weapon' of barking/growling reveals Beau’s underlying nervousness, which we can now work on addressing through positive training. We emphasize the importance of being gentle, calm, and respectful when interacting with the dog, and allowing the dog to get comfortable with the child at its own pace. We also discuss correcting any unwanted behaviors like growling, and encouraging positive interactions through praise and gentle petting.

We're working on teaching Riley the heel and down commands, without using a leash. We're letting her make mistakes and providing feedback to help her learn to stay by our side and respond to commands, even when there are distractions like military aircraft flying overhead. It's challenging for her to stay, but we're being patient and using techniques like the long line to help her learn.

We talk about training a dog named Bruno on proper heel and recall commands. We discuss how he may not have much prior experience with leashes, and how the heel training will help with his car reactivity and fear. We go through the process of teaching him to walk nicely at the left side, close any gaps, and respond to recalls. We also talk about his eating habits and weight, and how he sometimes prefers to just lay down during the training sessions.

6 month old mini schnauzer public access training!

We are at Home Depot with Beau, and I'm demonstrating his excellent training and behavior. We've practiced structured commands like down-stay, heel, and recall, and he is remaining calm and neutral even in a busy store environment. I'm able to leave him in a down-stay while I move around, and he responds well to my cues. The goal is to create a dog that is well-behaved and almost 'invisible' to others, not constantly barking or demanding attention.

We talk about working with Beau on heel training using an e-collar. We see Beau's perfect heel and how the e-collar is used to communicate with him. We also demonstrate Beau's stay commands, recall, and threshold training, where he waits patiently before being released to go through a door. We talk about the importance of maintaining structure and routine for dogs, and demonstrate the use of the 'place' command to keep the dog contained in a designated area while the owner goes about their daily activities. The video highlights how this helps the dog stay calm and relaxed, and respects the boundaries set by the owner.
