The right treats make dog training fun and successful.

What does your dog like?

Itโ€™s got to be something that your dog enjoys and is motivating to him or her.

For some dogs, that is cheese, hotdogs, hamburger, and chicken. For other dogs, they are motivated by dog treats, such as Zukes, Blue Buffalo Bites, Bill Jack Treats, etc. ๐Ÿฆด

Or does a toy work better for your dog?

Your dog has to be in a playful mode for toys to work, and you have to use the toy that your dog wants. Is it a ball? A tug toy? A stuffed toy? A squeaky toy? ๐ŸฅŽ

"I just finished the group obedience class at the Geauga YMCA with Johanna and had a really great time! She was very helpful and did a great job not only training my dog, but also helping me understand how I should be training. Being a first time dog owner, I didn't know what to expect and Johanna made sure it wasn't too overwhelming. I highly recommend Four Legged Scholars for your dog training needs!"

Happy Veterans Day! ๐Ÿ˜Š

"Many brave troops return home with scars โ€“ both seen and unseen โ€“ that make it difficult to transition back to civilian life. At the same time, millions of wonderful companion animals wait in shelters for a forever home. Pets for Vets is the bridge that brings them together.

When a Veteran is matched with the right pet, both lives change for the better. The Veteran saves the animal and welcomes him/her into a loving home. The pet provides the Veteran with unconditional love and support, easing stress, depression, loneliness and anxiety. Together, they share a Super Bondยฎ that provides them both with a whole new โ€œleashโ€ on life."
- Pets for Vets

Whether for a veteran or your family, if you are looking for training for a new dog or puppy in your life, look no further.

The world seems to be moving faster and faster. We all want a quick fix, and to put less effort into reaching our goals.

A big training secret is that, to create peace of mind, you need to dedicate yourself to consistency and persistence with your dog training.

Dog owners maybe disappointed at first to realize that they have to put forth much effort. However, in the long run, knowing this will help you reach your goals.

Like anything else, you need to take the time to do something right.

Linda called Four Legged Scholars in distress. Her German Shepherd, Evie, was pulling so hard on the leash that Linda was getting injured.

As a result, Linda had not walked her dog in ages!

When I met her, I was surprised how hard Evie pulled on the leash. Despite her hard pulling, I knew that I could help them.

We started training calm behavior with the leash indoors first: Evie got rewarded when she was calm and just saw the leash.

She then got rewarded in baby steps:
โ€ข for being calm when wearing the leash indoors
โ€ข when the front door was opened
โ€ข outside the door on the porch
โ€ข walking down the stairs

Doing this all in stages, and with the right rewards, made a huge difference.

Soon Linda and Evie were safely walking again! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Here are some tips to help you with leash walking:

โ€ข Keep your walks short and successful. Long walks where your dog is pulling is stressful. Start with just 5 - 15 minute walks until both you and your dog are ready for longer walks.

โ€ข Give frequent rewards for walking on a loose leash.

โ€ข Start training in your home or other low distracting areas. Move to more distracting areas when both you and your dog are getting the hang of the loose leash walking concept.

โ€ข When your dog pulls on the leash, do one of the following so he will learn that pulling does not work: stop walking, change directions, or take a few steps backwards. Your dog will begin to learn that pulling on the leash means he doesnโ€™t get to go forward. Once the leash is loose again, resume walking forward.

โ€ข It can be tempting to use choke collars, prong collars and shock collars to train loose leash walking. But these can create aggression and fear problems. If you feel that you need to, use a front hook harness instead, such as PetSafe, the Freedom Harness or a Gentle Leader. These are much more humane and will create more positive results.

We'll be offering a new Junior Outdoor Leash Walking Course in the Spring.

Are you feeling that you just cannot get your dog to listen?

One of the common issues that we notice is people learning the training tools and then expecting that their dog will listen.

Unfortunately, this is NOT the case. Your dog will not listen just because ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช know the tools.

First and foremost, you have to practice the tools to get your dog to listen. You have to also realize that dog training will happen ๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™™๐™ค๐™œโ€™๐™จ ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™˜๐™š ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ.

You can work with your dog often and be consistent. These things help, but your dog will learn when he is ready. Just like a child, each one learns at their own pace.

Keep being persistent and positive in your dog training. I promise, in time, it will pay off!
