Pattern games in dog training establish predictable and reliable sequences of behaviors or actions, helping dogs to learn tasks by following a predetermined pattern of cues.
These repetitive, predictable patterns serve as a reliable framework for dogs, especially when faced with distractions or situations that might unsettle, excite, or draw their attention.
Within these structured games, dogs anticipate the next steps, allowing them to refocus on their task even when encountering triggers or novel stimuli.
These versatile pattern games assist dogs in navigating through various scenarios, such as handling scary triggers, encountering new and exciting individuals (humans or dogs), or maneuvering through crowded spaces.
Some games involve stationary exercises, while others incorporate movement, contributing to a holistic training approach.
Pattern games in dog training offer a foundation for numerous training scenarios, each contributing uniquely to a dog's learning and focus abilities.

Encouraging behavior through rewards, particularly in animals, utilizes food as a powerful tool to facilitate learning and diminish fear or anxiety. This method leverages dopamine, a neurotransmitter essential for reward-based learning, movement regulation, and emotional responses in the brain.

Training alongside Sadie has been an incredible journey! We’ve fostered so many dogs, but somehow, it’s always so different. This sweet and mischievous girl has been a joy and a little devil! I like devils though, so I’m here for it!
Our focus involves fundamental training, addressing issues like jumping, mouthing, biting, barking, door rushing, and cat chasing. At just five months old and having moved through five homes already, these behaviors are expected for a puppy. We aim to equip her with exceptional skills to ensure we send her to her new home with fabulous skills!

Hosting workshops for dog business professionals has been an absolute delight! We've had the privilege of collaborating with outstanding dog walkers and pet experts at Petwaggin several times a year, teaching valuable skills that help them be the best at their craft!
Our recent workshop focused on breaking down a visit and empowering the new team to create a calming experience for anxious or overly excited dogs. They learn practical techniques to encourage desirable behaviors while steering clear of reinforcing undesirable ones.
The dedication and expertise displayed by the Petwaggin team continue to impress me. Whether you need a dog walker, pet sitter, transportation services, or engaging enrichment visits, they are your go-to professionals!

The happiest place on earth for my dogs.
I have two amazing pups, both with reactivity; I took years to understand and accept their behavior.
I’m beyond thankful for both of them, their behavior, and their sweet little souls.
Decompression walks involve letting our dogs roam freely in their natural surroundings, allowing them to explore and express their innate behaviors.
The priority for our dogs is meeting their daily needs and providing chances for them to be dogs.
This is where my dogs feel entirely secure and seldom exhibit any signs of reactivity.

Okay, here's the scoop on breaking down the door behavior in dogs.
Dogs being dogs, they'll do all sorts of things—jump, bark, bolt out the door. That's just their natural vibe.
What we're trying to teach them is more of our human-style behavior.
Think about it: the outside world is like the ultimate playground for dogs. They've been cooped up inside, itching for some action, and it’s game on when that door cracks open!
So, we’re up to showing Benito how reinforcing it can be to chill out, hang by the door, and wait for his Momma's cue. That way, he knows it's all good and safe to head out.
