Let's talk doggie day care! Pet Partners Lex now offers day care services and this is why!! 👇🏽

As a trainer I've noticed a tremendous influx in owners whose pups began exhibiting undesirable behaviors seemingly out of no where. The commonality here is that these dogs had been going to traditional day cares. While there ARE some good ones out there the majority of them have the same set up 1.) Community setting i.e. 10+ dogs in one area for 6-8 hours. Or 2.) Individual rooms + community time i.e. each dog has their own room and is let out 3 or more times a day to play with the other dogs, potty, ect.

-The community setting is largely unregulated, employees are often not taught proper techniques for separating dogs let alone how to prevent confrontations to begin with. This is where pups learn bad habits like being pushy with dogs who don't want to play, demand barking, urinating indoors ect. Think about it like this, if you go to the dog park how long do you stay? Certainly not 6+ hours this would be mentally and physically draining for both you and your dog! Additionally if something happens you have the time and space to remove yourself from the park. Community settings give dogs no escape to relax and unwind and tend to be very stressful for sensitive, young, and especially older dogs.

-The issues I see with room/community time derive primary from the fact that dogs are olfactory driven animals. Even if a dog is in their own private room the smells of all the dogs before them and the current occupants in one space, dozens of different humans, cleaners, ect is enough to stress them out. While this option is certainly more preferable than the latter there's still not the option for your pup to totally relax.

⭐When you set up day care with Pet Partners Lex your pup will be taken on outtings for structured socializing with an experienced handler, enjoy plenty of supervised play in a large fenced in back yard, given frequent naps/down time, and spend their time with no more than 2 other dogs per day. Our goal is to create calm confident dogs in safe sterile environments! A relaxed dog is a happy dog. 🐾

Reese and Rhodie hanging out on place! Place is a great skill for dogs to learn. It gives them somewhere to go when they need to relax, when company is over, at dinner time or anytime you need your pup out of the way and in a safe place! When learning place it's important to keep in mind the three D's. Duration, Distance, and Distraction.

- start by leading your dog onto their cot, bed, or crate with the leash ~ reward when they have all 4 paws on place then invite them off

- continue guiding them onto place until they do it naturally then reward, slowly incorporate the command "place" after they have stayed on place

- begin asking them to stay on for longer periods of time

- at this point your pup should start self soothing and sitting or laying on place by them selves (you can always ask for sit or down to get them there too)

-begin building distance by stepping away from place and rewarding your dog when they remain on

- eventually you should be able to create more distance, if your dogs tries to get off place simply use spacial pressure to reset them

- introduce distractions slowly by walking around them while they're on place or grabbing their favorite toy and making noise that would normally excite your pup

-once you've nailed the 3 D's you can start taking your dog into more busy environments and work on place with greater distractions

Remember to stay calm, confident, and collected when you're working with your dog especially if they are a puppy! Sometimes you may have to simply wait and let them figure out what you're asking. Be patient, be consistent and most importantly HAVE FUN! Your dog will thank you for it ❤️🐶

Happy 4th of July 🇺🇲🎆! A few quick tips to make this holiday easier on your pets.

🔴Give them plenty of exercise early in the day. Focus on mental stimulation, the goal is to have them physically and mentally drained before fireworks start.

⚪Create a safe place, if you have a basement or well insulated interior room use this as their area for the evening. Make sure all windows and blinds are closed. Cover their crate with a blanket and turn on a TV to help mask the fireworks.

🔵If you know your dog is reactive/fearful avoid taking them to any parties today. If your dog does well with large groups of people ensure that you have a quiet, calm, space for them to safely relax during the fireworks.

Have fun, be safe, and thank the ones who gave everything for our freedom!

Little Reese is a 12 week old Rhodesian Ridgeback with some pretty steller owners! When raising a puppy its pertinent that the whole family be involved in feeding, walking, and building the foundation for a happy balanced life. After her first session and with alot of consistency on her family's part, Reese is already understanding boundaries and what is expected of her in the home and on the leash! If you're considering getting a puppy this summer keep in mind that training begins the moment you bring them home. ❤🐕

Let's talk motivation! Many dogs are treat driven some are toy driven and others will do anything for affection! Finding what motivates your dog is key to keeping their focus during training. If you struggle with getting your dog's attention I encourage luring them with a high value treat. If that doesn't work bring their favorite toy and offer it to them after they complete a command. Lastly offer them a high praise and assess their reaction! Every dog is motivated by something discovering what it is, that's half the fun! For affordable training DM us today and we can build a personalized training regime to bring balance to your dog.

This little girl will forever have my heart!💕 When I first met Mimi she was 7 years old and had never been on a real walk. She was extremely fearful and reactive to almost everything. After 7 months of intense love, exposure, and rehabilitation her owner and I were able to rehome her with a wonderful family. Mimi taught me that with the right attitude, a little hard work, and a whole lotta love anyone (dog or human) can be healed.

I'm so happy and greatful for my OFFICIAL logo thank you SO MUCH !!! This small business journey is ongoing and having a logo that truly illustrates what I had been envisioning is a wonderful feeling. A few things I've learned while growing my business; take advice from other people whether that be friends, family, or fellow business owners. Follow your intuition. Take risks! When life gives you a chance take it. Stick to your opinions and morals when it comes to your business practices. Focus on your goals and don't let other peoples opinions or doubts bring you down. Celebrate every victory. And throughout the journey HAVE FUN! Thank you to all of my wonderful family, friends, and clients that have helped Pet Partners grow this past year you mean more to me than you know ❤

Lexi visited Eastern State Hospital today and gave some employees a much appreciated puppy break 😷🏨. For dogs that have insecurities, problems jumping, or are reactive in busy places it is pertinent they are exposed to as many places and people as possible but ONLY with a knowledgeable and safe handler. If shyness, cowering, or barking is something your dog needs help overcoming Pet Partners is here for you! We offer affordable and flexible training sessions suited to fit your needs. Text, call, or DM for me details. ❤

Two very good girls in this throw back to warmer weather! One of the best ways to help foster a positive relationship between new dogs is to walk them together! Before introducing make sure both are exercised so they are not in an excited state of mind. Pay close attention to their body language, in particular any tension in the body, concern in the eyes, and overall signs of discomfort. If your dog has issues making friends and needs guidance Pet Partners can help! We rehabilitate unsocialized dogs and teach owners how desensitization is accomplished in overreactive dogs. 🐶💜🐕
