If I were to start over with my dogs, here are the exact steps I would take to have well-trained and connected dogs!
👉🏻 if you’re new here, my name is Marina and I have been a dog trainer for over 6 years. I currently have 6 dogs of my own and here is the exact system I use for them and my clients dogs! 👇🏻
1️⃣ Build trust by making your dogs life predictable and safe. Have a set schedule and follow it daily. Take away all of your dog’s decision making and limit freedom inside the house (for now!) Have your dog on a leash by you and give free time only when they are supervised so you can communicate behavior expectations.
2️⃣ Time to teach and train! Teach any commands you want your dog to follow. Use enticing motivators or make it fun for your dog.
3️⃣ Teach boundaries and redirect any unwanted behaviors. Dogs will do what they perceive they are allowed to do. We must clearly communicate when your dog is making a mistake and show them what we want them to do instead.
4️⃣ Add in distractions, start advanced training, and go on fun outings! Start enjoying your dog in new and exciting ways.
This system has worked for hundreds of dogs and it will work for yours! Comment or DM me “DREAM” and I will send you a video on how to get your dream dog!

Why you NEED to bring your dog on outings! I know it can feel daunting and hard, especially if your dog is used to being home with you, but taking your dog’s on an outing is so important, not only for training purposes, but for their mental and physical well-being. You get to practice good behaviors in diverse settings, improve your dog’s socialization skills and build confidence, and create positive memories with your dog. Sounds like a win for me!If doing this alone makes you freeze with fear, don’t worry! I will support you!

How to increase your dog’s mood using the neurotransmitters in their brain! We all know that these things are good for our dogs but here’s how it works on a scientific level! You want to go in the order of increasing serotonin -> oxytocin -> dopamine. First we make sure the foundations are set: we feed a healthy diet and get outside every day for exercise in the sunlight. We build a connection with love and pets, and then we do some fun activities like fetch and playing. This isn’t to say that the dopamine giving activities aren’t as important, but if you are lacking in the other neurotransmitters, it can’t do all the work on its own!
