Canine Transformations Learning Center

Canine Transformations Learning Center Difficult Dog? Transforming problems into positive solutions since 2006. Privates; Workshops; select Classes We focus on results. Four students ONLY.

Canine Transformations expertly works with dogs in distress or chronic/acute stress, which causes reactivity and aggression. We work with the dog from the inside outwardly as an individual, and we also work with the human end of the leash so that a positive relationship and bond can be established. In solving aggression problems we use a seven-equation approach from identifying the issues to relea

sing stress and maintenance of behavior. We work with multi-dog families fighting in a process called acclimate-tolerate-accept or ATA Dog. We work force free - your dog will never be exposed to pain devices of any kind - solid, science-based force free methods are employed with every dog and dog owner. Client coaching sessions range in price for challenging dog issues - always start with a $250 functional assessment; individual sessions then are $110 per session (in packages of 3, 6, and 10 - with 10, 15 and 20% discounts respectively). A Canine Emotional Detox is a part of the assessment IF the dog owner implements it under the direction of their trainer. (goal is to reduce stress so the dog learns faster, retains longer and is a happy learner). Private Puppy Classes (include socialization to people, other dogs, and objects) - can share cost if there are two pups. $75 per session 1.5 hours in length. Focus is on teaching pups to live in real life while giving them breaks that include enrichment - toys, play, intelligence games, problem solving and relaxation. We have Day Training Packages for busy clients - 1 hour; 1/2 day and full day options. 90 minute sessions are $150 (at cTLC or at your home - would add travel expenses); 1/2 day - 3 hours $250; and full day - 6 hours - $350 to be paid in advance. Canine Transformations takes credit cards. You may also purchase a block of day training sessions at discounted prices (3 sessions for 10% discount; 6 for 15% discount; or 10 for 20% discount) Any unused sessions can be refunded within 6 months of purchase. Reactive Dog Classes - "Peaceful Transformations" are held 2X a year - May and August - and run six weeks at $350 per class. Pre-requisites are required. Extended packages are available also:

Engage/disengage dog reactivity - dogs in distance. Distance, duration and distractions are key. Keep distance at what dog can handle; duration just minutes at first and increase from there; and keep distractions doable - what can dog handle one dog? Two? Can use engage/disengage with other behaviors as well.

Be careful here. Know that not all dog walkers or boarding situations are the same. How do you want you dog, as an individual, cared for. Don’t be too trusting, do your homework not just once but two and three times. https://www.abcdogsnz.com/post/the-very-real-down-side-to-dog-day-care-and-pack-walks?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3-EeoSg2tCsKbk1jLwiHYzpiOudWPJdQgwkXpOSDAEd4VgzjftEX72DFE_aem_yMAl0VsaOWl0WHkSiWcaaA

These two are coming along so well. We worked with Logan today on some areas he is weaker on. One take away is Libby (their guardian) and I talked about the ptsd in humans when their dogs fight or have other serious behavior - you never forget it because it is so horrible. It is always there with you. It is double- edged sword sword because while it can be a motivator to work hard to change and transform the behavior, it can also make it hard to progress when you are afraid of what might happen. Libby had to work up to this point with her dogs. Short duration here, distance to what dogs can handle and aware of distractions, which can trigger reactions.

To get here the dogs have done a CED, my ATA dog process (they are on last stage, #5 safety and maintenance), and on last week now of from guarding to sharing my RG program. We’ve also worked on triggers separately. So proud of this team!

Today Logan was very comfortable on mat and went from a distance, stayed there and chilled.

It was great getting back to LIVE zoom teaching sessions today. Resource guarding and ATA dog specifics with Libby Montague-Brown, who works so hard with her dogs and it shows! Did cue proofing with Willow on right today. There are 17 cues - all excellent!!! Great job Libby!!

My Resource Guarding online course is available at Grisha Stewart’s Dog Academy here: https://school.grishastewart.com/courses/resource-guarding/?ref=0954a3

I also do one-on-one private sessions via zoom (more expensive, of course, but you get customized sessions focusing on YOUR challenges).

Testimonial:

"This course was wonderful from start to finish! Diane's training plans and protocols leave nothing to chance and inspired me as a trainer. This in depth and thorough approach to resource guarding gives hope for even severe cases. It has armed me with valuable knowledge and built my confidence in working with these kind of cases. "

From time to time I will recommend professionals I know and trust. Friends, dog professionals in California, a wonderful dog groomer is in the San Jose area. Please spread the word. Mary Kniskern, is a positive groomer, and mobile. She is amazing at what she offers and does. Mobile Spaw is the one to trust if you want a dog who loves their grooming sessions. If you want or need positive, professional dog grooming give Mary a call. You will be glad you did and so will your dog.

I got to know Mary when she was in Sequim and spoke at a workshop she held on stress in dogs, stress in grooming.

Leading exercises can influence behavior. This girlie is a beach walker - on lead only - this Frredom Harness easily converts to one point to allow movement forward freely or two points for keeping her close maneuvering distance to dogs not following rules, to duration and safety and through multiple distractions. Teamwork.

Three sessions and things are done much better. Guardian said today “Thanks for today. Z stayed in her bed. The whole drive to the beach! She seemed much more confident on the beach and was exploring more away from me.”

Not bad for an anxious girlie. Sound desensitization is going well. They head to California for five weeks so saving session four for when they return.

Ttouch is quite amazing. Working with an anxious, touch sensitive, car sensitive, sound sensitive Australian Labradoodle. After week one: "We’ve had two days driving to the beach without the head, shaking and panting. Using both light patches, no vest.

I’ve been playing the thunderstorms during my lunchtime in my office when she’s sleeping and it’s been fine with her." said guardian.

Session two today and lots of reports - not responding to thunderstorms sounds, even when a louder decibel played accidentally. Rain also was a trigger thunder is coming, and desensitization work is going very well. New car behavior, actually getting in her car bed, and settling in with head down between paws - never did this before. Today she did not stress going to car and getting in, after we did Ttouch bodywork and leading exercises.

Goal are four sessions to prepare for a five week trip to California with hope of minimal stress and anxiety.

We are noticing she is licking much less (she licks people, her guardians). She is worried about "new things". We fed through putting on her "new" harness - went well - and during leading exercises through obstacles for focus and confidence.

Guardian said: "We drove in the truck that has a continuous seat to the beach yesterday, and she had no shaking at all. "

No photos today, our work was flowing so did not interrupt with photos or video.

These two Staffordshire Terriers reside in New Zealsnd. They were fighting although they had been fine as puppies, in adolescence some serious fights broke out. We’ve worked hard starting with a stress release program; then my ATA Dig process for multi-dig households fighting; and now working through a resource guarding private. This photo was taken today. In past on walks they were not always civil to each other and would stay away from each other. They have come far. Guardian is amazing with them and has learned some new ways to look at their behavior.

Canine Transformations has the best clients. Lobo lives in Germany and is Romanian Street Dog rescue. He was very shut down at first and could not even leave the bed he was in, let alone the room. He was so scared. His story is in my book, Stress Rrkease for Dogs:The Canine Emotional Detox. The rest is history.

An update for the Lobofans: still going strong 🏋️ ♀️! Lobo will be lt early this year. Pass agile 15 years old and don't think of giving up at all. He's pretty fit without health construction sites, he sees and hears, runs, mots, cuddles and lets himself be cuddled. He can do it easily on the sofa. He takes care of his weird quirks (he may! ) and still handles the newer dogs effortlessly well without bothering anyone. They accept that without complaining - he just can. Of course, he retreats more, but in the middle of it, he has never been happy anyway. To the next years, dear Lobo! 💪 ❤ 🙏

Karen Pryor changed how I taught dogs for the better. The question became “where have you been?” I embraced clicker training, positive reinforcement fast and passionately, all because of Karen. She touched my life and so many others and is a legend of change in the world not just with dogs, but marine mammals. She will be missed. https://karenpryoracademy.com/remembering-karen-pryor-the-legacy-of-a-trailblazer-who-ignited-a-global-training-revolution/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2j4AXSpI6YOLgKP1CGZRfm-FQ8cOGyk6AuEiggMIi_c2Bs2Bkg1yBVUoQ_aem__Nh_ffJelNpYrKir9_pMpA

First session of the year. TTouch session 1/4 we have scheduled. This is Z**i an anxious Australian Labradoodle. And some photos and video of my office today. Second photo is after TTouch. We added a x39 Lifewave patch (her humans patch too). We’ll be talking more about that - and we did a brief thunder sound session.
