Cleveland dog training for dogs and puppies of all ages and breeds!

Another day, another snow storm. After a brief break in the weather yesterday, we are back to house manners practice and doggy gym today until the weather cooperates. Chestnut says “no biggie, we love hang out days!” ❄️

12/04/2024

Since we’ve been snowed in for the most part, we’ve been renovating our training space to make it warm and home-y. One side of the area is our “dog gym” that has two DogPacers and a Grand Carpet Mill, and the other is a hang out space where dogs can relax and watch a movie with us. Being able to give the dogs a home setting during training is a game changer when it comes to their comfort levels. Kevin is slowly settling in!

12/04/2024

Kevin is at a really critical age for a malinois. It’s “now or never” as far as getting him acclimated to changing handlers and environments. We’re going to do everything we can to build his confidence around new people, and set him up for being able to live a full malinois life of play and training. The next few days will be important for our relationship and will require skillful handling so he can have some positive experiences and minimize bite risks.

After this walk, he hung out with Jess and I while doing some cleaning, took some food, and drank some water. He’ll come around and realize we’re pretty cool peeps, and speak the language of the pointy eared brown dogs.

What do we do on a snow day morning? We hit the gym! ❄️

Training walks for Remi, Hondo (still available for adoption), and Spud this afternoon before the rain ☔️

11/19/2024

Meet Chestnut! He’s a thirteen week old mini Aussie who is here for four weeks of training, with a focus on crate and potty training. He’s almost NEVER gone to the bathroom outside 💩 to potty, so four weeks will give me time to build some good habits before he returns home. Plus, all the benefits of puppy training done by a professional like proper socialization, confidence building, traveling to new places, and obedience. Pretty stinkin’ cute!

11/10/2024

Welcome to training, Re*****on! Remi is here for four weeks to work on leash walking, impulse control, confidence building, and to help with resource guarding of household objects.

11/08/2024

Hondo had his first groom at the school today and exceeded expectations. This boy is definitely ready to start looking for his new home. Please share, and reach out if you are interested in learning more about this 10 month old GSD puppy!

Happy graduation day, Fiona! It’s been a treat having you. We’re all going to miss your snorts around here 🐷

Hondo update

Spent some time checking out Hondos potential for sports today. He did well! Definitely ready to start thinking about potential homes for him. Hondo will be available for adoption soon.

Urbana field trip

What’s the opposite of Sunday funday? Probably a bulldog in a down stay. 😂

Meet Hondo, my newest training project. Hondo has incredibly severe reactivity for his age (9 months old) and at over 80lbs already, it is important we get this resolved. This is his first training session since arriving yesterday. #dogtraining #behaviormodification #germanshepherd #cleveland

Reactivity is one of the most common behavioral problems dog owners experience with their dogs. Lunging and barking on leash is seen across many spectrums of dogs; friendly dogs, who "just want to say hi", fearful dogs attempting to scare off a trigger, and dogs who are confident but not particularly friendly, and feel good when they bark. What does reactivity look like in dogs, and how can we do our best to avoid it from developing? Dogs who lunge and bark on leash are not necessarily aggressive. Many dogs, especially those who are OVERsocialized but have not learned critical life skills (impulse control: heel, come when called, stay when told, ignore dogs/people on walks) may lunge and bark on leash out of frustration and demanding. They're agitated that they can't access that dog/person/squirrel/bicycle, likely due to inconsistent behavior from their owner in the past. If a dog owner allows their dog to pull them towards SOME other dogs out in public to "say hi" but not others (or if the dog attends off leash play regularly, where they are free to charge up to dogs), over time that inconsistency may cause reactivity to bubble up. This generally begins as pulling on leash, fixating, refusing treats on walks, and whining, but very quickly can escalate into a frothy-mouthed, aggressive display. That same dog is likely very friendly off leash, where they are not being restrained from doing as they please. These dogs eventually become full-out obsessed with interacting with their "trigger", and their owner may as well not even exist when it is around. These dogs need less social interaction with their triggers, and more obedience training. Fearful dogs who lunge and bark on leash have learned that acting aggressively gets them left alone. They are lunging and barking to tell the dog/person/etc to "BACK OFF", and it is generally very effective. If you own a fear aggressive dog, think about the last time someone continued to let their dog come visit, or that a person

Importance of Play

We should all probably play with our dogs more. Learning to play properly is a skill set like anything else; we humans have to put time and effort into learning how to tap into a dogs desire to chase and tug, believe it or not! Winston has been doing very well with his obedience skills, so now it’s time to throw in appropriate outlets and exercise. He thought the barrel tug was pretty dang cool.

A little post training flirt pole with Honey!

A flirt pole is a great tool to help expend some energy and let your dog utilize their natural prey drive. Keeping the prey “alive” by popping on the line helps keep dog engaged, as if they’re chasing a real rabbit. 🐇

Meet Honey! She’s here for four weeks of obedience training and confidence building. Her mom reports that she has “low food drive” which is a common report from pet owners. Often, that food drive can be increased simply by adding MOTION to reward events! Dogs like to move, so by making the reward less about eating and more about activity, dogs tend to get more excited about training. This is her FIRST training session… can you see the attitude change happening already?! You go, Honey! #frenchbulldog
