Meet Koby and Jasper! We are having a great time together! Both are learning a lot with day training. We are working on greetings, some basic skills including leash walking skills, and trying some fun new enrichment.

Day training is a great option for busy families. It’s efficient, effective, and convenient. I do the “heavy lifting”. I work with your dog individually, on specific skills and/or behaviors, in your home at least two times a week. Once a week I meet with you and your dog to transfer those skills. We will practice what your dog has learned together and apply it to real world.

Started off the day just right with the Parkour Play Day! So much fun! And we got out there before it was too hot. Some tired pups at the end.
Thanks International Dog Parkour Association for the play day!

Dogs do what “works”. (We all do)

They act in a way that benefits them. (We all do)

Dogs bark out the window at people passing by and UPS because it works . . . the people stayed away. I’m a HERO!

Dogs counter surf because sometimes they get a tasty treat. YUMMY!

Dogs steal your shoes because it often results in a game of chase. FUN!

Reinforcement drives behavior. Dogs do what they do because it is reinforcing to them.

If your dog is behaving in a way you don’t like, try to figure out what they are getting out of this. What is driving them to continue to do that particular behavior and find a way to fulfil that need and reinforce a different behavior.

Punishment suppresses a behavior, it doesn’t teach them what to do. Using rewards teaches your dog what you want them to do.

Try instead to

Reinforce your dog for looking out the window without barking. Make that work for your dog.

Or teach them to relax on their bed while you are eating or cooking in the kitchen.

Rather than chasing your dog and rewarding them for stealing your shoes, plays games with them that you both enjoy and teach them to leave socks and shoes alone.

It’s all about reinforcing the behaviors you want your dogs to engage in instead.

I am here to help if you need it. Please feel free to give me a call 770-971-6093 or email me at [email protected]

I am having so much fun with Mazi and Marley! It is truly rewarding to see them both grow and change. Positive reinforcement, consistency, and practice are key. And remember the dog determines what they find reinforcing. It is important to try different things and see what works.
