Help for your dog during a thunderstorm
Sharing a quick video of what I do with my dog during severe storms. He is a highly food motivated dog so keeping him moving to find food has been very helpful for him and many other dogs.

Sniff Walks: Let your dog be a dog!
Your dog needs mental stimulation just as much as physical exercise! Be sure you are allowing time for your dog to be just a dog. No training, no commands, no having to walk by your side.
Fancy Footwork Friday!

Scooter is reminding you to get out and enjoy this day!
Gizmo is in our day train program learning to have manners out and about! Itโs not enough to train your dog only in your house and then expect your dog to perform at the same level outside or with distractions like inside a store. In trainer jargon, we call this โProofing.โ
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
Recall progression with 4 month old Kaia. The 1st toss of the ball is to avoid her anticipating recalls. The 2nd toss of the ball, she comes back to me mid-run. No need for e-collars here!

When youโre outsmarted by your own dog

Building/reinforcing your dogโs confidence is important! My dog Scooter is overall a confident dog and not scared of much. Here, he was hesitant to retrieve his ball that rolled between the water dish and gate. I think he was concerned the gate would fall if he touched it getting the ball. Anyway, you can see in this video how I encourage him and praise him when he gets the โcourageโ to get his ball. While I was tempted to get the ball for him, I took this opportunity to build his confidence.
