“Scent Work Fun with Hercinia! 🔍🐶
Morning walks aren’t just about exercise; they’re about keeping the mind sharp, too! 🐾 Today, Hercinia and I mixed it up with a little scent work, hiding a metal tin and letting her use that amazing nose to find it. 👃✨ We did this a few times throughout our walk to re-engage her brain and work together—such a fun way to strengthen our bond. 💛🐕🦺
Do you try scent games with your dog? 🎾 It’s such a great way to add mental stimulation to your walks! 🧠🚶♀️

🎉 Celebrating Success! 🎉
I couldn’t be prouder of Jamie and her adorable 7-month-old BernieDoodle, Moose! 🐾✨ This week, Moose showed tremendous progress with loose leash walking on the collar for the first time, despite his size and youthful exuberance! 🌟
Jamie, your dedication and hard work are truly paying off! 🥳🐶 Moose is a big, lovable ball of energy, but with your guidance, he’s learning how to navigate the world with more focus and calmness.
Clear communication and consistent training got us this far. Remember, training doesn’t have to take up lots of your daily time—what matters is that it’s effective and efficient. 🐾💪
Keep up the fantastic work, you two! Watching your bond grow stronger and seeing Moose’s progress is incredibly rewarding. 💖👏

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from dreamlike4paws! 🎆🎉 As we celebrate, here are 6 tips to keep your furry friends safe and happy:
1. Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area indoors with their favorite toys and blankets.
2. Skip the Fireworks: Loud noises can be terrifying for dogs. Keep them at home in a calm environment.
3. ID Tags Up to Date: Ensure your dog’s ID tags and microchip information are current in case they get scared and run off.
4. Comfort Your Dog: It’s a myth that comforting a scared dog enhances their fear. Offer them reassurance and comfort.
5. Play ‘Treat Fireworks’: For anxious dogs, turn fireworks into a positive experience. Every time a firework booms, throw a treat on the ground for them to find. It helps shift their focus and reduces anxiety.
6. Daytime Walks: Take your dog out while it’s still light and on a leash. This helps avoid the sudden noise of fireworks and ensures they get their exercise in a safer environment.
Enjoy the festivities and keep your pups safe! 🐾❤️

DO YOU LISTEN TO YOUR DOG?
Dogs know what they want and need.
It is good to listen to our dogs, as it will help our bonds with them. I know that my girl loves the heat, so when she came over to ask for some warm hairdryer air, I was happy to give it to her. Many times she joins me now and asks for some. - Of course she gets it :)

Does your dog pull you around & is reactive while you walk? - then let’s start back at the basics and train to focus & walk loose on the leash while there are low distractions!

Teaching a gun dog to sit on whistle & hand signal while facing you is a process but so fun. This is how it can start.

Winter is coming to #colorado and it means lots of snow, ice and ice melt. Before moving here we didn’t really need to worry about it, but now we train wearing shoes to keep those paws healthy and safe #positivedogtraining #doginboots #dogtraining #dreamlike4paws
Lots of smell distractions this evening but he still did good in correcting his positions by himself and trying to focus #dogtraining #heelwork #sunsetwalk #goldenretriever

😎RELAXING😎
Learning how to relax is for dogs very important, especially if your household is usually very busy.
Hot days are great to teach your dog to relax. They usually already don’t want to do much, so it’s great to spend time together and just relax.
Use some frozen Kongs or lick mats of they need some calm entertainment. 👅
