Puppy training tips:
I like to end most of my puppy training sessions with a kennel nap. Puppies, similar to children, absorb and process information in their sleep. Giving them a structured rest time after training allows the things you worked on to really sink in. Teaching a command like “kennel up” makes it easy to crate your pup. Crates are very useful for dogs of all ages, but especially puppies! ❤️🐶

How to teach a puppy manners for eating meals:
I am requiring Boomer the Boxer pup to sit and wait while I put his food down and give me eye contact before I release him to eat. We’ve done this a few times, but he’s still pretty new at it. Think of his butt and the food bowl as a teeter totter. The bowl can only go down if he’s sitting. If he gets up, the bowl also comes up. I don’t want to prompt him with a “sit” every time. I want him to learn the overall idea is to sit and look at me to earn his food. The key here is to be consistent, patient and quiet! Give your puppy time to figure this out on their own. You shouldn’t need any words, treats, or a leash for this. Each day should get a little better until it finally clicks!

Just a small sample of the dogs I’ve been able to help so far this year ❤️🐶
10 tips to get the most out of walks with your dog ❤️🐶
1. Get your cute dog ready
2. Find the correct training tool and have it properly fit to your dog
3. Practice good manners going out of gates and doors
4. Encourage and reward a loose leash
5. Correct a tight leash by stopping forward motion and/or leash pops
6. Practice obedience like come, sit, and stay when cars go by
7. Reward check ins and eye contact from your dog
8. Allow sniffing and exploration as long as the leash stays loose
9. Teach good manners around other animals and people you may encounter
10. Don’t forget to provide lots of affection after the walk for a job well done

While physical exercise is extremely important for our canine friends, mental exercise is equally as important. Providing physical exercise without mental exercise can create a marathon athlete in your pet that will always need more. If you provide enough mental stimulation as well as physical, your dog will be healthy, happy, and fulfilled. And more likely to behave better 😉
One of my favorite ways to provide both needs at once is “obedience fetch.” In this game, your dog has to listen to each specific command (make sure you always change up the order) and complete a series before the next throw. It’s fun, engaging, fulfilling, and your dog will have earned a nice nap afterwards❤️🐶

It’s been a minute, but we’re back to shed hunting practice. This is such a fulfilling job for Tiki. She has so much fun and she gets to work her brain and her body at the same time, so it’s a win-win for me. I love this girl ❤️🐶

An update on Tiki. She’s not perfect but she’s on the right track for 5 months old. Loving this girl 🥰 ❤️🐶

Enrichment is hugely important for your dog. Allowing them to use their nose and practice “dog behaviors” is a great outlet and can help burn mental energy. Use a puzzle toy or a snuffle mat, like the one shown here, to feed your dog their meals or treats ❤️🐶

Adoptable Dog Alert 🚨!
Meet Onyx! Onyx is just around one year old and our best guess is that he is a Great Dane and Pointer cross. He is a big boy that both leans and points! Ha! Onyx has pretty serious prey drive so shouldn’t live small animals. Onyx plays very well with some other large dogs and absolutely loves it! He is incredibly smart and knows all his basic obedience. He walks well with his sidekick leash (like a gentle leader) and loves to run and play with toys. Onyx is very affectionate and would love to find his forever home soon so he can get all the cuddles. Reach out to @gcpetpals for more information or to visit Onyx 🐶❤️

Here is a great example of appropriate play between the alpha of the pack and the baby of the pack. It’s very mutual and Daphne gives great corrections and body language at the end that she is finished playing ❤️🐶

Please welcome MMDTs own Tiki! Tiki is an 11 week old yellow lab. I will be posting her progress to help you with your puppies. ❤️🐶
This is our first session working stay. This was impromptu while I was in my pjs, so I apologize for me not being in the video. Tiki had never heard the word stay before, but she knows place and knows that she gets paid for being on the place board. Things to remember:
🐾 Stay includes distance and duration. I always start with duration first ( you see me move away from Tiki too soon at one point but she picks it up quickly)
🐾 My philosophy: as long as the dog is staying, you can remind them to stay
🐾 I only say the command and Tiki’s marker words. Not a lot of extra talking going on
🐾 She’s only 11 weeks old! Puppies are smart and capable
🐾 Keep training short and sweet. This video is less than three minutes and the whole session was less than five

Door Routine: I love teaching this to dogs. There is no command here being asked. Bandit has learned to respect the boundary of the door and wait for my cue to go out the door. This is a great way to teach calm, give meaning to eye contact, and prevent bolting out the door ❤️🐶
