***MOOSE UPDATE***

Moose went home on Sunday after his 2 week Board & Train. When Moose first came to us he was nervous, under socialized with both humans and dogs, fear of being in the car, major separation anxiety, with a splash of stubbornness that the bully breeds are typically known for. He also would only listen to one person but only do what he wanted to do on his terms.

Our Board & Train program provided the structure that he needed to combat the issues he had. While with us, he learned basic commands, listen to commands no matter who had the leash, how to deal with issues/situations (such as being around dogs and men) that make him uncomfortable, riding in the car is fun, and that he can be independent and need to be with a person at all times.

His mom reached out to us after having him home for 2 days post Board and Train saying that Moose is a completely different dog. Moose went from being the worst of a Stage 5 clinger, to a more confident dog that is able to hang out on place as she gets ready for work or can be crated with minimal whining. He’s also more engaging and listening to other family members when they tell him commands.

We are so proud of Moose and his transformation into a more confident respectful pup. We are also thrilled that his family is continuing to keep up with his training post Board & Train! 🎉🎉🎉

Last week Moose was very uncomfortable when socializing with other dogs. He didn’t appreciate when dogs would get in his personal space or he would want to “police”/control other dogs when the energy level was too high. Because of his nervousness, he would try to correct other dogs but at a level that was unnecessary. Throughout the week, we’ve been putting him in situations that are safe, but still make him uncomfortable so that he can learn how to deal with it in a healthy way instead of thinking everything is DECFON 1.

It’s been a little over a week and Moose is learning to tolerate other dogs and knows moving away is an option. He’s also understanding that us humans will advocate for him when dogs are in his space for too long instead of taking matters into his own paws. We’re so proud of Moose and how far he’s come!

Rufus spent some time comforting our newest Kindergartner Rusty. Rusty hasn’t had much dog interaction prior to Kindergarten and was nervous around all the puppies. Since Rufus has a calm demeanor, we had him sit next to Rusty to show that the other dogs are friends and there’s nothing to be scared of.

Yesterday was a huge moment for Pearl (who is in our Teenage Day Training program)! Pearl is a nervous girl and is in a fear period where she is scared of different things. We’re focusing on teach her how handle situations that make her scared or stressed and how to recover when she does startle. She braved the organized chaos of the Costco parking lot and was able to hang out and watch shoppers go by. We’re so proud of her! 🎉

Teddy started our 12 Day Teenage Day Training program this week! This week we worked with him on getting comfortable in the “down” position. Down can be difficult for some dogs because it’s a vulnerable position. After lots of treats, we’ve been able to get Teddy comfortable enough to go into “down” without him struggling. Today he got even more comfortable and was willing to down on “Place”. It’s baby steps but we’ll take the small victory because it’s progress! 🎉

Our prong stock is replenished thanks to sierracaninesupply!

Like people, each dog learns differently and some thrive when we use the prong collar. Why do we like to use prongs as a training tool? We like that they are safer on the dog’s neck and trachea compared to flat collars and martingales. We also love that it is not just to correct your dog while out on walks compared to the gentle leader or harnesses (which promote pulling). It’s more versatile to correct other behaviors and can help focus/center nervous dogs. Not all prongs are equal though. We love the Herm Sprenger brand as they are long lasting and don’t break as easily.

Need a prong collar for your pup? Check out Sierra Canine Supply to order your prong today! www.sierracaninesupply.com

Happy   to our Ryker regulars Luna, Millie and Rufus!

When controlling the impulse to get up when you hear every little thing gets to be too much mental work for your brain. 🤣 “Chill” or “relax” is not in Sylvie’s vocab so we’re working with her on staying on Place despite distractions. Her little brain was on over drive and started for fall asleep towards the end of her session.
