This boy right here is doing FAB U LOS!!!😎
Fynn hardly ever pulls on leash anymore (unless we see another dog— we’re working on it) as shown by this amazing little video….
AND
He made the choice *on his own* to ignore a little fluffy bunny rabbit looking puppy walking by on a way too long flexi and reoriented himself back into HEEL position!!! OH EM GEE!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎉
And thecherry on top??? It’s in this video toward the end… FYNN knows what FOOS (heel) means!!! 🎉🎊❣️

Fynn (2 years old) and I playing around with this balance beam kit on Amazon. My granddaughter Kehlani wanted to see if we could get Fynn walking on it since he has AMAZING balance skills. (He can walk on his hind legs!) Fynn will do just about anything for food 😍
Please excuse my messy house (grandkids! LOL) and baby Cooper yelling for his turn in the background! Hee hee)
Do you know what I’m the most proud of??? 💕MY STUDENTS🌟!!!
This AH-MAZING video is of almost 10
month old Lulu, who was adopted by her owners from a local shelter at 8weeks old. We started working together shortly after adoption— yes lessons as a baby puppy—and she and her people have worked very hard together!🎉🌟💫
This morning at the end of a lesson with Lulu and her mom, she and her DAD demonstrated this FABULOUS game that Dad created with Lulu! I have watching all of the SKILLS Lulu uses here!!! 🤩Lulu is one cute little smarty pants!!!
KUDOS to Team Lulu!!! 🤩🎉
Working MY brain this time toward finishing Michael Shikashio’s Master Course— Aggression in Dogs. 😎😁
It IS the Little Things…🌟
As many know, Fynn was found stuck in a service area frontage space behind a chain link fence ON the freeway, SO, for Fynn, vehicles rushing by are NOT cool. We also don’t know how long Fynn was on the street, (and his brain is now only 21 months old LOL) so, getting and *keeping* his attention has become a big goal of mine, as well as helping to grow his confidence in himself and in me having his back.
During one of our very first practice sessions just in front of my house, a Fed Ex truck drove by and he took off for my front door! After I composed myself, I was incredibly thankful for two huge things: 1) he ran TOWARDS my FRONT DOOR and 2) I had a solid strong leash attached to my waist! BUT, it reminded me that Fynn had a big issue with vehicles—- well duh!?!?
Since then, we’ve been really working hard on loose leash walking, learning to just settle and watch cars pass our yard, and lots of self check-ins. (A tip— seriously think about using a longer leash for this!!! I took an online webinar on this and now I use either a 10 foot or 15 foot biothane leash. Adding the length actually works extremely well!)
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been also sneaking in smidgins of heel work, and walking confidently on a short section of the busy 4 lane street we use to get to get into my neighborhood. It’s been a process.
Well, today, my sweet, silly boy was a ROCK STAR! 🤩He was able to do several short sessions of heeling, only pulled for the first couple of cuckoo minutes, and he did DOWN STAYS on a busy 4 lane street!!!! (Granted it’s a Sunday morning so the traffic volume is much lower than normal) Fynn STAYED and he was actually quite relaxed!!! 🤩🌟🎉I’m so proud that I have tears in my eyes. 😍
AND AND AND he self corrects his position in the second video after the treat bounces! OMG I didn’t notice that until I watched the videos to post!!! 🎉
Cooper training session 9 1/2 weeks
I recently read on a couple of local trainers websites that puppies younger than 12-14 weeks are “incapable of learning basic obedience type skills.” 🤔 Personally I’ve found this to be quite the opposite. (And current canine behavioral research supports my experience.) The key is very short sessions and making it FUN! Here’s Cooper, aka Mr Smartie pants, at 9 1/2 weeks old and 18.2 lbs showing what he knows. Enjoy!#rottweilerpuppy #fresnodogtrainer #dogtrainerslife #dogtrainerfresno #dogtrainerclovis #clovisdogtrainer #rottweilersofinstagram #puppiesaresponges #sharkweilerintraining
