I get asked a lot about how to teach kids how to interact with their dog. Our son is almost three and is very fast. But here is what we try:
-Avoid rough play with dog in front of toddler (toddler will try it too!)
-Sit with our toddler when he wants to pet our dog (this helps comfort our dog too.)
-If our son starts to get too rough, we try to calmly correct our son. If we were to yell or panic, it could startle the dog and our child.
-We watch our dog’s body language very closely and break up the situation if our dog needs. Our dog’s ears typically go back first, she will also yawn, show white in her eyes, and overall look at us like, “help me!”

I think it’s more important to consider your lifestyle, breed traits, and consider the individual dog. If you can provide proper outlets for a dog, such as an Aussie, then it’s less likely to have behavior issues. My family has an Aussie with no anxiety. She has a farm to freely run on.. and we offer plenty of enrichment when she’s at home in the city. She played “volleyball” last night while we were watching the Bengals game by hitting a beach ball with her nose. I don’t think it’s fair to breeds to offer such generalizations without context.

ONCE you’ve made the decision to get a dog, you’re then faced with arguably the trickiest part of the process – what breed to go for. With hundreds to choose from, it’s impo…

These pups have made so much improvement over the last several weeks! They graduated from my level 2 class at Feeders Supply. Two of the dogs are interested in doing pet therapy work!

Sunny Day Dog Training shared a post on Instagram: "This is a first step you can take. Some dogs may not be ready for you to touch their nails. If this happens, start smaller and work your way up. An option is to try your dog’s paw and then see how they respond. Try to stay as calm as possible and...

So true!! 8-12 weeks is the prime time to get puppies out there and experience the world.

🐶 So true! It is sooooo important to expose your puppy to LOTS of stimuli.
🐩 However, without the help of a professional, you could accidentally over expose and cause an aversion to a certain stimuli. That can be difficult to undo as the dog matures.

“When our walks with our Great Pyrenees puppy started to be full of frustration and stress, we knew we needed to find a great trainer with the patience, expertise and skills to help us build confidence to manage our 60 lb puppy!! Over the last 4 weeks, we have completed one on one level 1 puppy training sessions with Cassie. Aside from walking on a leash, Cassie has really helped us understand our dogs behaviors and strategized with us to address her jumping up on humans. Our dog Luna is 10 months old and we were having trouble getting her to walk on a leash which caused dreaded and stressful walks.

Cassie took the time to meet with us to assess our dog Luna and to really listen to OUR goals for the training. After just 4 weeks, she walks like a well trained puppy. Cassie set us up with realistic expectations from the start and empowered us to introduce basic commands like “look” to establish eye contact; leave it/take it; come and stay. Cassie has made training fun for our whole family. We really appreciate the time she sets up week to week to problem solve behaviors as they arise! This type of supportive environment brought tons of success to changing our dog’s behaviors and never once stressed our dog or our family out! We loved our training sessions with Cassie and have now signed up for Level 2 training with her! We are lucky to have found Cassie as our trainer! She is truly a PRO.”— Anne

I don’t train to receive compliments, but it’s really nice to hear when I’m making an impact. We’ve only done 2 sessions so far and their owner told me she’s seen a night and day difference with one of the dog’s leash walking. Using a harness that clips to the front of chest + training works wonders!

Yes, the kids and their puppy are doing push ups. 😂😂 Roscoe completed his puppy course! I loved working with this family. So much fun teaching the dog + the kids!

🎓 Elmer graduated our puppy course! 🎓 I’m going to miss working with them!! These two have worked soooo hard with their puppy. I’m especially impressed with Elmer “stays!” He’s such a good boy!

We worked up to this and look at Roscoe go! “Leave it” is such an important cue! It can save your dog’s life.

Need to get out some of your dog’s energy without going outside? Grab a licki mat like what Sarah E. Kmetz’s Ursula has!
✅ This is canned puppy food and plain yogurt

✅ Kids can put food on the mat and safely get involved in training. Just make sure they stay back while the dog has the food!

✅ Grab a licki mat or check out more activities on my website www.sunnydaydogtraining.com/toys. Note- I’m an Amazon affiliate.

My son’s look says it all. PLEASE WALK YOUR DOG ON A LEASH!! PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG CONTAINED. Nearly every time we walk, we encounter a dog that’s freely roaming the park or sidewalk. Our dog Sunny is now very reactive towards dogs after she was brutally attacked by a large dog this past December. She is on the offensive. Your sweet dog could easily walk up to a dog like Sunny and get into a dog fight. Your dog is still a dog. Your dog is not a stuffed animal. Your dog could spot a squirrel and chase after it and get hit by a car. Accidents happen no matter how well trained your dog is. Instinct is still instinct.

We used to allow Sunny to be in our front yard while we did yard work and NEVER AGAIN. She always stayed by our side but it was a risk that wasn’t worth taking.
