Merica! May this year be filled with good decisions from Americans (trying not the think about if it goes the other way)

When using punishment methods it may look like your dog is improving but often punishment just suppresses/hides the unwanted behavior. The better route is to train with positive reinforcement to teach the dog what you WANT THEM TO DO in place of the unwanted behavior.

This class is so much fun! It is a drop in style, meaning sign up for the date(s) that work for you, no weekly commit. We teach new behaviors each class and are open to requests of what you would love to learn.

Our Stay and Train program provides an excellent opportunity to instill good manners in your pup. This immersive 14-day program, extendable if needed, involves your dog staying with us, and working daily with Trainer Emily to achieve individualized training goals. We establish foundational skills AND coach you on maintaining them. You’ll be delighted with your pup’s results, as the program prioritizes daily private training sessions each day, alongside the maintenance of general house manners and playtime with other guest dogs (pending personalities). Our program underscores a positive approach to training, integrating it seamlessly into your lifestyle with your pup as your sidekick.
We also understand the importance of the pawrent education as well and include two follow-up lessons for you to seamlessly apply your dog’s newfound skills and you become part of the Pawsitively Pets family.

Requirements:
-Must be crate trained and not exhibit separation anxiety.
-Must be neutered/spayed and over 7 months of age.
-Must not have a bite history or exhibit dog or human aggression (leash reactivity is okay).
-Must be up to date on vaccines.

*We are a PACFA-certified facility, licensed, insured, and have over 20 years of training experience.
*We practice positive reinforcement training methods and promise to never use fear, intimidation, or corrective collars on your dogs.

Think of training skills as school grades, you need to go through each grade to be successful with the next skill. They all build on top of each other.

Socialization does not mean just meeting new people and dogs, there is a lot more to it. Finding the right balance of socialization is also important, as under or over-socialized can lead to challenges.

Excited to have Obi with us for the next 2 weeks.
We did some training with his pawrents 6 months ago but they were wanting a bit more of a training boost with consistency. No better timing to send him to school while they have some out of town commitments. He jumped right in with being comfortable with me and my place (since it wasn’t new to him) and made instant friends with my pack. Looking forward to seeing his training skill progress! Bonus: he ❤️ to snuggle! Follow him 😍

The first weekend of April 2024 was spent with 500+ positive reinforcement trainers (trainers for all variety of species, not just dogs). We networked, learned, and listened to great presentations from 30+ leaders in the pet training industry.

Over the past 2 decades, I have attended many zoo-related conferences but this was my first time attending Clicker Exop and it didn’t disappoint.

Pictures:
1. Alaskan Klee kai Tikanni and Emily in front ot the conference sponsor banner. I also now get to go on a tour of Kong headquarters (in Denver).
2. A panel of trainers gathered to talk about Behavior modification and aggression. Led by and speakers Dr. Chris Pachel, .monaco.torelli
3. An adorable beagle showing off a cute trick to get some attention….. it worked!
4. Tikanni at the FitPaws booth showing off her balance
5. Tiklanni lying on her mat in a presentation that she and I got to hold a working spot in. The Presentation focus was on cue stimulus control and duration.
6. A handful of the cute dog attendees. It was fun to have dogs there AND people who all understood respectful dog interactions.

I often see inconsistent communication between pawrents. They use slightly different words or hand signals than their partner which can cause confusion.

Puppy brains are sponges, remember to be patient with them and help teach them what you want them to do.

Sometimes these happen naturally and sometimes we use it as a training method (not a go-to for us).

02/06/2024

Did you know that operant conditioning goes hand in hand with classic conditioning (see post from a few weeks back for that definition).
When you use OC, CC is in the back seat, as the animal is actively noticing what things go together to to create consequences.

These 2 principles are the core part of most training plans.
