Todo's Translator Indy's In Home Dog Trainer A better behaved dog, an informed owner. Does your dog ignore you? Does your dog have behaviors that make you frustrated or embarrassed?

Would you enjoy having a dog that greets politely, walks nicely on the leash and listens when you ask something of him? If you need help with your dog you've come to the right place! I've helped several clients solve their problems with their dogs. Give me a call or message to tell me about your situation.

Im so impressed with Salisbury's dad. Look at these leash handling skills! If I've ever told you to adjust your hand like a joy stick this is what I mean. Also notice how smoothly he shortens the leash at the very beginning. Who watched this and guessed that Sal was leash reactive? He didnt act like it today!

Seven isn't pictured but he went with to help distract Sal... and Salsbury was unperturbed no matter what Seven did! Seven even swooped over and licked treats out of Sal's dad's pouch before we even knew what happened 🤦‍♀️. And Sal took all of it in stride.

I'm so incredibly proud of this team!! Living on the Monon is going to be a lot easier for this wonderful pair of bachelors and I'm so grateful that I got to help achieve this 🙌🫶

Look what my super reactive friend, Kona did yesterday! We've been working at the reactivity for a while now and finally yesterday it all seemed to fall into place. From here she needs *lots* of repetitions to make this response the new habit. Good job Kona!!

When youre the vet's favorite and get your own dedicated can of cheese and your name written on the table 🥰

The staff at our clinic argue over who gets to treat Seven when he comes in. They tell me he is their favorite corso ever. Why? We put in WORK to make the clinic his favorite place to be. He didnt always love it.

On another note... I apologize for my lack of posts. I'm 2 weeks post surgery and should be back to posting more in the next couple weeks.

Not to brag but when we walk past the crate this happens. This was offered, not asked for. Next I will spread their crates apart to build independence from one another. Anyone else have a dog that looooves the crate?

Socializing is getting used to all the strange things in this world. At a certain point in puppy raising you need to balance socializing with working through distraction. This video is a wonderfully boring example - I gave her space to observe and get comfortable. Then I gave her space to think about what was asked of her. If she hadn't figured out what I was asking I would have shown her by moving backwards in the training. She then got rewarded for maintaining the down.

Shout out to my awesome mechanic who has come to expect I'll be walking a dog while they do my oil change. Photo in comments.

Anyone else have a spa day lately? Not going to lie, this guy was RANK. 🤢

These dog wash stations are fantastic. To get dogs used to the idea of the DIY dog bath I like to do happy visits just like at the vet. Go to the pet store, pop in the bath room, allow sniffs and reward for getting in/clipped and then leave the wash station. No big deal. If I hadn't done the prep work who knows what the fallout from this 125lbs of muscle would have been. He may not love it but he will load and stand still waiting for his snacks and that's enough.

I love them sooo much! 😍

Ever meet one of those dogs that puts their front feet into the car willingly then looks back over their shoulder to you like they're saying "ok, you do my butt"?

Now what if that dog were an 130 lb Great Dane? 😅😆 Needless to say, Ella's mom can't lift her big ole dump truck into the car for her.

Here's where I come in.

BIG props to Ella's mom for being prepared with a ramp and even ready to break getting Ella used to the ramp into smaller, more achievable steps by practicing the ramp in the living room.

But we only need smaller steps (think addition in math) if the dog isn't able or ready to do the harder steps. (Think geometry)

So I wanted to see what we were working with and we started with the ramp attached to the car because I was pretty sure Ella has come far enough where she could handle it. If we had needed to go backwards in the training we would have.

But it turned out Ella was playing us.

She learned the ramp pretty quickly. We wondered if Ella could do more.

Turns out Ella absolutely COULD jump fully into the car allllll by herself if she had the proper motivation.

Chicken hearts. 😳🤢 She's *ecstatic* to hop in the car for chicken hearts. That's what it costs for this Dane to move her bum 😂

Pic: Ella just chilling in the way back of the SUV cause it's no big deal

Sunset walk anyone?

It's time for one of my silly human examples...

You live a comfortable life in a nice big open concept home in a great neighborhood. Your family has everything they could need. But in order to provide that you live an incredibly busy life. Would you allow your 14 year old child to do whatever they want with the wonderful resources you've provided? Not just for a day or a weekend but forever?

At some point that teeneager is going to start making mistakes with the freedom you've given them. When they do would you continue giving them complete freedom to do whatever they want with the beautiful lifestyle you've provided them? Over and over again no consequences for the wrong choices until one day you're surprised when they take your favorite car - the one under the tarp - out for a joy ride and crash it and someone gets hurt.

This handsome Australian labradoodle is Bo. He's an amazing dog. Sweet and gentle and occasionally super silly and playful. He likes to lay on the back of the couch like a cat. And he, of course, excelled at puppy class.

Bo has also bitten a delivery driver and a dog walking past in front of the house.

Sweet Bo is a ✨️LIABILITY✨️

How did he become a liability? By being given too much freedom with a wonderful life. He was potty trained and didn't chew up the house so he had earned free reign to so as he pleased. Then he would get overarroused about something and no one corrected it or taught an alternate behavior. Over time Bo got more and more aroused at triggers until eventually he became sooo over aroused that he became a Biter.

Bo's family didn't do anything wrong. They did the best they could with the resources they had. Their dogs are *incredibly* loved and well cared for. They just didn't know how to handle Bo's overarousal.

If you've made it this far I'm going to tell you the most simple, easy and overlooked part of training.... that if your dog is making mistakes repeatedly and escalating they have too much freedom. Limit their ability to make the wrong choice. USE - THE - LEASH!

Bo is progressing super well. His impulse control, leashwalking, staying under control during play are all so much better. He's also responding to corrections.

If you feel like you just don't know what to do with your dog's behavior - that's what I'm here for. To show you how to use management, teach an alternate behavior and correct the unwanted one.

Would anyone be interested in adding a malamute to the family? Rika is 5 years old, vaccinated and spayed. Unfortunately her owner passed away last week and family has run out of options for her. She lived a small life at home and doesn't know much of the world so she will likely be shy and need time and patience. She is a sweety pie with humans and unknown how she does with dogs.

Note: I do not know this dog personally. Her owner was the brother of a previous client.
