Dogs just like us have bad days, off days, sick days. Be willing to adjust your criteria and expectations to work with the animal you have today. Not the one you from yesterday or the one you hope they will be tomorrow. It’s a journey and if you are looking for guidance and help with your reactive dog reach out.
Morel of the story Raven is always pooping. Jokes aside. Do you want get your dog off leash capable? Want to work on recall. What about manners for wild adolescent dogs. I offer consults to help you get your dog into tip-top behavior shape ready for whatever adventures you want to do together.
It’s easy to post my hikes they are fun and do wonders for the lucky dogs that get to join. If you didn’t know I actually offer so much more than this. I am a service dog trainer, I specialize in separation issues and anxiety, and have lots of successful reactive and aggressive cases. I offer in person and virtual customized dog training programs that are flexible to meet a wide range of needs.
👏 It takes time but this gal just continues to slowly and steadily improve!
Back from a very fun horse camping trip. Refreshed and ready to get back to work.
I spent 30 min just hanging out with the feathered ones this evening. I miss just observing them and forget to take time to just be in the room with them. Fable was moved to our front living room/my training studio because she is so dusty and not healthy for the other birds to be around. I try to have her sleep in the bird room when I can. ❤️ They just make me so happy.
Adventure + training makes our outdoor camp. 🏕️ Winter camp is coming to an end soon but Spring and Summer camps will be opening for registration. If you think your dog needs more positive life experiences. This is the perfect board and train boot camp for young active dogs. 🐕 Ophelia has been learning and growing so much this week. I’m sure she will be going home tired.
When I first tried to give Alice a bath she was so scared! I only misted her a few times and called it. Now… she actually enjoys her shower time. She came to me with a fear of spray bottles from them being used as punishment. But she seemed to relax as she learned in my hands spray bottles are not bad at all. The most and opportunity to bath eventually out weighed her worry of the spray bottle. I’m sure to stop frequently or at the first sign she is finished. Sometimes she just pauses, because she is worried by something, then calms down and is okay to continue. She is in control of the water. Respect is mutual as it should be in all our relationships with animals.
I haven’t shared a session with Alice for a while. Mainly I haven’t set up video. I tend to work with her for very short and at spontaneous times. It’s how I work with most animals. I find I make a lot of progress this way. I will try to put more into bringing a camera in as I do want to record and show you my training process with the animals I work with.
The magic of Canine Outdoor Camp. Transforms dog lives 2024 training immersive board and train programs are filling up fast.
I give you permission to ditch the dog walks and climb a tree if you want. Hang out. Stop being in such a rush. Training doesn’t have to look like the videos you see of dogs in perfect formation. This was a very important lesson and experience for this particular dog.
Teaching a dog to walk/stay to one side. Training starts stationary and not moving. Walking in a position is a complex behavior that is best broken down into very small manageable steps.
