🤔Who’s walking who on your walks?
😒Want to enjoy trails but your dog is a menace?
🫣Does your dog injure you by pulling you over or dragging you
😱Is your dog all over the place?
😍Come to our Leash Walking Intensive and we’ll fix it! Give me 3 Saturdays and I’ll give you a dog that’s on their way to beautiful walks.
The link is www.petbehaviorconsulting.as.me/lwi82024 and it starts in August. Learning how to have pleasant walks changed my whole relationship with my dogs and it will do the same for you.
Also, once you complete this, you can take trail etiquette and a bunch of other, higher level courses!

We’d like to apologize to western MA for the rain. It seems that every step we took away from shelter caused it to rain harder. Of course, when we came back from the walk and went inside, the rain abated. Regardless, enjoy this relaxing video of soothing rainfall and happy dogs. #rainyday #rainydaystillplay #lakelandterrier #bordercollie #daytraining #dogenrichment #exercise #positivelyeffective
Hello. This is Dino. Dino decided to harvest a poop nugget in his perfect fluffy Corgi butt. As much as I admire his style, we simply cannot endorse the collection of poop nuggets. Imagine if everyone collected them. It would be pure mayhem. Dino had a long soak in the spa, complete with the finest of products designed to gently release any collectibles. Dino was not impressed. Dino gives the rules here a 4/10. Would not recommend. I am not deterred though. The utter perfection of his fluffy Corgi butt, sans nugget, is worth it. I give that Corgi bottom a 11/10. Enjoy this video of Dino cursing me out for stealing his collection. He was very sweet to tolerate the bath and toweling, it wasn’t his favorite 🐾🫶🏼

Does your dog attack the vacuum? I have a dog staying here that likes to eat vacuums so I took a video of our session.Here’s what you need to know… 🐾 She has a lot of obedience training on her resume. But, she has a tough time listening when she’s excited (like she’s a terrier or something). 🐾 She also has a history of shutting down and checking out. She won’t play or take treats. It’s been a challenge for some of her trainers because when she opts out, you’re stuck. 🐾 Somewhere, lines got crossed for her that arousal will be punished so she gets stressed when she gets excited. 🐾 There’s no point in punishing her since it hasn’t stopped her vacuum eating habit. I also don’t want to punish her. I don’t want her checking out, mistrusting me or seeing me as an obstacle blocking her access to what she wants to do. 🐾 I need to convince Audra that 1) we are a team, 2) if she can keep her sh** together we can play a game that includes eating the vacuum in moderation, 3) arousal won’t be punished, she’s NOT in trouble and she doesn’t need to check out to cope. 🐾 My strategy is if she can offer a Down, she can attack the vac. I teach her the rules by asking for some Downs, rewarding her and encouraging vacuum biting. I work through her mistrust. I get her to engage and then I start raising my criteria. 🐾 The entire session is here, nothing is omitted except boring clips of me vacuuming where. I tried to keep the juicy parts in but there are some parts that are a little long so you can see exactly how it goes. 🐾 My training mechanics aren’t anywhere near perfect. I can point out a ton of little mistakes. I say this because if you are a pet owner, you can totally do this. 🐾 My rug is really clean! #positivelyeffective #lakelandterrier #vacuumattack #realtimetraining
Don’t be that guy! Buying a new pet takes so little time compared to the time you have to live with, care for, and manage behavior of that pet. Training is effective and fun! It saves tons of dogs from being returned to breeders/shelters/rescues, helps avoid behavioral euthanasia, and honestly feels GOOD since it builds the relationship.

It’s cool when your dog nails it in class. It’s cute when they do tricks at home before getting their Greenie. But it ROCKS when you can take your dog out and feel confident you can handle whatever comes your way and if there’s an embarrassing event, it won’t be because of your dog (come on, we’ve all had THAT dog 👀). Join us for some real life adventures with real life trainer @linsey.wenzel in real life locations in Western MA. https://petbehaviorconsulting.as.me/reallife2024 Yes, there are prereqs. See class link for details! #reallifetraining #dogtraining #trainyourdog #reallifeclass #positivelyeffective
