I'll give you one guess what's in these cute little jars..?

🍎💡♠️⚡Tips and Tricks Tuesday! Decorative Treats Jars

⚡Access to treats is an essential and pivotal part of effective training with your pup! As an alternative to the irritation and inconvenience of keeping a bag of treats on you at all times, consider getting appealing, air-tight jars for around the house!⚡

🍎 Especially when it comes to behavior modification for the often more serious training, reward timing can make or break progress with your pup. If you're always having to run to the one drawer or cupboard where the treats are every time you notice a targeted behavior or stepping stone, you might miss out on key communication opportunities! But keeping cookie jars full of some canine cookies in various rooms of the house can help you more quickly promote positive change in your little monster. 🍎

What has worked for me, Makeba, and our besties:

💡 Placement near the doors of the house is essential for maintaining control when guests arrive, and for grabbing a few treats on the way out to the backyard to mitigate continued barking. 💡

💡 Utilize any sized doggy snack you have laying around by cutting them up into smaller pieces, perfect for a repetitive training process across the day. 💡

💡 Pick patterns that you will love looking at every day! 💡

Washington State Park turned out to be an awesome destination for my Native American Heritage Hike - Adventure Daycare with the besties! It took us a bit to track down where the over 1000-year-old Petroglyphs were hiding, but the uneven terrain was fun along the way!

Making more progress on perfecting the DIY turf installation guys, slowly but surely. Makeba is a seamingly good assistant, although he wants to play tug more than hand me staples. Plus a bunch of cute photos of him! 🖤

🍎💡♠️⚡Tips and Tricks Tuesday! Playtime Boundaries

⚡Notice about 10 seconds into the video that I have boundaries set with Makeba to release a pinned playmate! ⚡

🍎 Pups can play rough sometimes! And depending on the personality and the pair, that's perfectly normal! You can find many sources explaining how healthy playtime can involve many of the same actions as real fights, such as growling, biting, teeth-baring, barking, and pinning..! The key difference, in my interpretation, being LACK OF TENSION.

For example:
✅ Loudly, freely barking and growling VS ❌ low-pitched, throaty, controlled barking and growling
✅ Showing teeth with a wide open mouth VS ❌ snarling with a closed, tightly clenched jaw and curled lips
✅ Moderate, inconstant mouthing of the face, neck, legs VS ❌ swift, sudden, successive biting or audible snapping
✅ Bouncy and temporary pouncing, body-checking, and pinning VS ❌ prolonged holding down 🍎

What has worked for me and my besties:

💡Just as important is that YOU are comfortable with your dog's play style! Set playtime boundaries with your pup by interrupting play when they are doing something that you're uneasy about, and rewarding them when they turn their attention to you. Eventually they will listen to your commands right away even in midst of active play! You can also interrupt and then direct them towards a less aggressive action, then reward.💡

💡 If a pup is being overly dominant with a certain dog or all dogs, have them lay down in a submissive position and call the other dog(s) over. Reward them with scratches and treats and "good boy/girl"s for taking a turn submitting. Soon they will do so voluntarily with their playmates! 💡
