🐾 We worked with Zarah the other day underneath the London Bridge in the English Village and she did great! This is a great place to work on training with distractions as there’s always people and/or other dogs that walk around.

When taking your dog to a new place, it’s important to let them sniff around and explore to allow them to feel safe and comfortable in the environment around them. Once they are calm and comfortable, that’s when you can start working.

If you are interested in signing up for Private Training or Group Training classes, please message us or text us at 402-209-2268! We are taking sign ups for our Group Socialization classes as well as AKC Star Puppy classes! 🐾

🐾 We will be doing drop in visits for this family next month so we did a little trial run yesterday.

It’s always important to let them make the first move when they are unsure of you. To help them warm up to you, you can toss treats to them so they make a positive association with you and the treats.

Some dogs will warm up to you faster than others, so take your time on those who are a little more reactive.

If you need help with reactivity or need help with any training commands or problem behaviors, message us or text us at 402-209-2268! 🐾

🐾 Blitzen demonstrated how to perform the “Focus” command during our group class today.

Working on the “focus” command is essential for building the bond between you and your dog, and there are many more benefits of using this command such as:

•Foundation for Other Commands-Ensures your dog is engaged and ready to receive instructions for cues like "sit," "stay," "come," or "heel,".

•Safety- A focused dog is less likely to become distracted by potential hazards such as cars, other animals (like squirrels or cats), or people.

•Better Communication and Bond- Teaching your dog to focus on you improves communication and builds a stronger bond and mutual trust.

•Managing Distractions and Reactivity- It gives you an effective tool to manage their behavior in distracting situations.

•Improved Overall Behavior- It can help manage issues like excessive barking, jumping on guests, or pulling on the leash by giving the dog a clear, positive alternative behavior.

•Building Confidence- Successfully learning and performing commands, especially in new environments, builds a dog's confidence.

By teaching the focus command, you establish yourself as the most interesting and important thing in your dog's environment, making training a positive and effective experience for both of you.
