Socialization doesn't mean greeting a bunch of dogs. It means letting them experience the world in a positive and safe way.

Today Ruby got to watch a skid steer in action. There were loud beeps, engine noises and dirt and rocks falling everywhere. She did absolutely fantastic!! We started from a distance and moved closer gradually increasing stimulus.

There were also some hula hoop shenanigans and a squeaky tricycle. She didn't even bat an eye!

Watch the end for Ruby's crash after training! 😂

There are multiple factors when teaching a dog "stay". A lot of trainers call it the 3 D's.

✨Duration
✨Distance
✨Distraction

Only change one of these things at a time. For example: Start with giving the cue and waiting 3 seconds. If the dog stays in place, reward. Add another second or 2 next time. If they move put them back in the same place and try again. Maybe ask for 2 seconds if you're having trouble.

Then add distance. When adding distance at first, immediately go back to your dog and reward for staying in place. Start small with only a half step backwards and return to your dog to reward. Add in small steps in multiple directions going back and rewarding.

You want to start in a calm environment without many distractions. Once you get a solid foundation, you can move into a slightly more distracting environment.

If your dog is struggling to stay, try having them stay on a physical object. (Towel, raised bed, blanket, etc.)

Veteran's Day hits close to home for me. I have had extended family serve and I am blessed to have my amazing husband be serving in the military as well.
I want to send out a huge and heartfelt thank you to all those who have served our country and made sacrifices to keep our families safe!

Any Veterans that schedule today will receive 50% off their first session or a service candidate evaluation!

Help me celebrate the men and women who have fought and are fighting to protect our country!

Stage 1 of learning to wear shoes!

There are multiple stages to desensitizing dogs to wearing footwear.

This is one of the first steps! Baby socks are soft and easier than hard soled dog boots. This can give dogs an easier way to get used to the sensation of something of their feet. These are also non-slip socks to keep them from sliding out from under her on the hardwood floor.

I also start with 2 at a time to keep things simple. Once she's used to socks on her front feet I move them to the back. Once she's used to that, I can do both front and back. I also keep the sessions short to avoid negative associations. Some play or treats can make a huge difference to keeping things positive!

Once she's used to socks on all 4 feet I can switch to the boots and repeat the stages. Front, back, then all 4.

Make sure boots are the right size and nails are trimmed to keep from getting snagged or causing discomfort!
