🐾 If your dog constantly tries to run out the door as soon as you open it, try this technique. Work with your dog for 5 to 10 minutes at a time and practice opening the door while they are in the Sit position. As they are in that position slowly open the door, and if they get up from of that position, shut the door and place them back into the Sit. If they get up before you give them the release command, shut the door. Repeat these steps until they are able to stay sitting long enough to fully open the door. This will teach your dog that they cannot barrel through the door each time it opens. It’s important to practice as much as you can to allow them the opportunity to succeed. 🐾 #dogtraining101 #dogtraining

🐾 We are accepting new clients for Private Training classes as well as Group Training classes! Our Next Group class starts on March 8th. Group classes are good for any dog who hasn’t been around a whole lot of dogs and need to learn how to properly coexist with each other, for those who are easily distracted when working on obedience in public places, or even if they are puppies and they need help with learning some obedience skills. In our Private Training classes, we can work on a variety of things including: • Puppy Training • Kennel Training • Potty Training • Redirecting Problem Behaviors such as: Jumping, Barking, Play Biting, and more. • Leash Training • Muzzle Training • On leash Obedience • Off Leash Obedience And more! We believe that not all dogs learn the same way, just like us humans. To better understand what each dog needs individually, we will use multiple techniques in order to figure out what works best for them! If you are interested in joining one of our Group Training classes, or if you are interested in Private Training classes, please message us or text us at 402-209-2268! 🐾 #womanownedbusiness #dogwalking #puppylovers #puppiesofFacebook #dogtraining101 #lakehavasu #mansbestfriend #obediencetraining #workingwithdogs #leashtraining #dogs #businesswoman #dogtrainer #shelterdog #havasudogs #dogtraining #supportlocal #petsitter #lakehavasucity #smallbusinesssupport #dogwalker #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogobedience #puppytraining #dogsoffacebook #muzzletraining

🐾 Buddy the reservation dog from Parker, AZ has come so far in his training. Of course he has some more work to do but we are so proud of how far he has come. In this video, we worked on the Recall Command. While your dog is on a 20 or 30 ft leash, place your dog into a sit or down position, and then walk to the very end of the leash. Once you get to the end of the leash, recall your dog. If they don’t come to you right away, reel in the leash like a fishing line. Once they get to you, place them into a sit position and then treat/praise them. 🐾

Honey was found and is now on her way back to WAHS!

UPDATE!!! She is safe and on her way back to Havasu!  We are currently in Parker, Arizona, trying to look for a dog who was recently adopted from the Humane Society and Havasu. Don’t know the situation exactly but all I know is this dog is scared and she needs our help to find her and bring her back to safety. If anybody is available to come help, it would be greatly appreciated. 

🐾 We are at The KAWS for the Small Business Shopping Event today from 9-12pm! Come check out all of the amazing vendors and stop by our booth and see what yummy dog treats we have available!

🐾 We have been working with Max the Corgi on redirecting his reactivity towards other dogs. Here, we are walking along the channel to allow him to see and smell different things before we work on the reactivity. This is also his first time walking around the channel. When taking your dog to new areas, you want to take them for a walk around the area before you work on any training. This allows your dog to smell and investigate the area to ensure they are in a safe place. If you encounter another dog and the owners want them to meet, I always advise AGAINST dogs meeting on leash. Some dogs may get protective of their owners and therefore an altercation may occur between the dogs. Don’t be afraid to tell other passing by dogs and owners that your dog needs their space, whether they are nervous, or aggressive, or even if they are in training. If someone tells you “It’s okay, my dog is friendly”, stand your ground and avoid that interaction. Not all dogs are going to like each other, just like humans, but they need to learn to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately. If you need help with training or have any training related questions, message us or text us at 402-209-2268! #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogwalking #dogtraining101 #leashtraining #dogtreats #dogtraining #dogobedience #supportlocal #dogtrainer #lakehavasucity #puppiesofFacebook #womanownedbusiness #businesswoman #workingwithdogs #dogs #mansbestfriend #puppylovers #havasudogs #smallbusinesssupport #dogwalker #puppytraining #lakehavasu #obediencetraining

🐾 In one of our group classes, we worked on walking side by side each other. I know it may not look like much, but for some dogs, it is hard for them to walk side-by-side each other. Some dogs get overly excited and some dogs may get nervous. When working on leash training, you want to make sure that they are not pulling you the whole time you are trying to walk them. Once they start pulling on the leash, stop in your place and allow them a few seconds to calm down. Place them into a sit position, and after a short period of time, you can release them from that sit position and continue walking as you were. 🐾#dogtraining #dogtraining101 #leashtraining #dogwalking

🐾 We had our last class for one of the group training classes last Saturday. I’m so proud of everyone’s progress and I hope everyone keeps working on what they learned outside of class. #dogs #dogtraining #dogtraining101
