Taking your dog to the vet and youāre already stressing before youāre there?
Here are some things to think about before going in!
Unfortunately a vet office has ALOT of smells, memories & already anxious dogs before you walk in! You can always try taking your dogās favorite treats and rewarding them for calm behaviors!
Always remember, just because your dog is friendly, does not mean everyoneās elseās dog in there is too! Keep your dog on a short leash close to you. Vet offices are sometimes on the smaller side and we want to avoid any scuffles breaking out!
Teach your dog a reliable down command around distractions. This will help when going to places of high arousal or stress by keeping their mind busy in holding that position. Plus it will help keep them out of the way while waiting or checking out.
Follow along for more tips!
Yes you guys got the selfie side todayš¤£

Weāve been working with stay positions inside the home with Beau and heās doing great! But when we go outside we do lessen the criteria for those stays! Whys that?
Puppies are super curious, their attention span outside is much less than in a controlled environment inside the house. So to set Beau up for success we shortened the distance for the āstayā to make sure he would hold it under distractions!
This doesnāt mean heās never going to have a bigger criteria to meet, once heās showing us he can handle behaviors under distractions, we will start to increase the distance & duration!
Maverick is coming along nicely in his training!
This pup will be getting training by us and is being placed through @valorcanines with a survivor of human trafficking!
If you havenāt done so already, please give them a follow and check out their website! Donations are always appreciated š«¶
Loading up in cars!
Some of our more nervous dogs can have some issues getting in / out of cars. Dexter here was one of those nervous Nellyās and would not want to go any where near the car.
Using leash pressure, weāve shown him that pulling away from the car wonāt turn off the pressure, but walking and jumping in will. We then paired it to ā load upā command and now heās killing it! šŖš¼

How we pair the E collar to loose leash walking once the dogs are conditioned to it.
It tools a couple reps for Goldie to get the hang of weāre expecting from her walks, but she quickly picked it up!
We use @ecollartechnologies ās Mini Educator system for our training dogs. For reference the levels go up to 100, miss Goldie was at a level 6. We high advise any one that is going to use an ecollar to do their research on brand, level consistency, and learn how to appropriately use it before putting it on your dog!
Remember ANY tool used incorrectly can be harmful to a dogs well being, not just prongs & ecollars š

Letās talk engagement.. AGAIN!
Engagement is the moment a dog realizes youāre an automated food dispensary as long as they keep giving you attention!
This is the first step of training and making sure the dog thinks itās their own ideas that are making things happen š
