Training your dog to heel is vital, but so are the turning movements you’ll need to master when encountering obstacles.
Our training programs cover formal heeling at all levels, introduce turns in Intermediate Obedience, and show how to phase out lures in Advanced Classes.

It’s a challenging question, but you need to ask yourself: did you get your two dogs to be friends with each other or to be companions for you?
If your intention was to cultivate a friendship between the two of them, be prepared for the reality that your relationship with each dog individually may suffer and never be as strong as their bond.
When bringing two dogs into your home, whether they are litter mates or have an age gap, your primary focus must be on building a strong bond with each of them. You should prioritize creating a connection where they derive more enjoyment from you than from each other. This process begins with effective crate training, utilizing their time out of the crate to foster bonding, enrichment, and training experiences that come directly from you.
Implementing this approach will significantly enhance the relevance of your relationship with your dog, ensuring that you are not merely the person holding the leash but rather an integral part of their happiness and well-being.
Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Jacob, founder of Fowler K9 Academy! With over a decade of experience, and as a former LE K9 handler, I’ve trained thousands of dogs since 2010. 🐶
As crime rates rise, more people are turning to us for reliable dog training, whether it’s for home protection or fun in dog sports . 🛡️
Join our community and learn from me, not only have I earned multiple titles for my dogs, but I have also helped hundreds of clients achieve their training goals.
Don’t miss the chance to empower your dog with expert guidance! 💪🐕

HELP RESCUE 🛟 DUCHESS👇🏼
We can either compel a nervous dog, increasing its suspicion of the world around it, or we can motivate that dog to push itself harder.
Motivating a nervous dog by withholding what it desires can lead to a canine that learns to invest effort into achieving its goals.
Duchess is exceptionally apprehensive about new experiences. Even the sound of a clicker sends her running for cover. To teach her what we expect, we gradually introduced the platform by presenting her food closer and closer to the desired response: all four feet on the platform. This process demands patience from us and a degree of internal motivation from Duchess. If we were to force her into positions, it could heighten her fear and make her believe the environment controls her outcomes. We want her to understand that her own motivation is what leads her to get what she wants.
Additionally, we're building an association between the electrical stimulation she feels to food and the fact that those stimulations cease when she’s on the platform. This approach is more effective than using a clicker, since the sound of that clicker frightens her more than the sensations generated by the remote collar.

🦴🐾 here’s Duchess again, our sweet rescue with the @pet_adoption_league! ❤️ She’s learning new skills every day to help her find her forever home! Today, we’re working on a simple exercise to get her to accept the leash and putting on her collar using what we call counter conditioning with food! 🌟
👉 Here’s one way we do it:
1. Positive Association: We start by presenting Duchess the food and collar asking her to jump on our legs. When puts her muzzle in the palm, we immediately reward her with the food! This helps her associate the collar with something positive. 🍖
2. Gradual Approach: We gradually progress into slipping the collar over her head while she’s trying to get the food, rewarding after the collar has gone over or is off again.
3. Practice Makes Perfect: Once she’s comfortable, through repetition she’ll start to offer the behavior of jumping to ask for the collar to be put on! 🥳
4. Short Sessions: Keep training sessions short and fun! You can always come back for more later.
By using food to build positive associations, Duchess is learning that wearing a collar and being leashed can be a wonderful experience. Every little step brings her closer to finding her forever family! 🏠❤️
Let’s help Duchess find her perfect match! Share this post to spread the word! 🙌

We recently embarked on an exciting journey with a charming puppy named Widow, purchased for a dedicated client with a vision for her future as a personal protection dog.
From the moment we brought her home, we focused on building a strong bond through consistent training. We began with essential commands like sit, stay, and come, fostering trust while laying the foundation for her development.
Socialization was crucial, as we introduced Widow to various environments, people, and pets. Group training sessions helped her gain confidence, while also enhancing her protective instincts.
As her training advanced, we tailored it to prepare her for her role in personal protection. Each session focused on building both her obedience and instinctive responses to potential threats.
After months of dedication, we proudly tested Widow’s skills through the Working Dogs of America (WDA) and achieved an obedience title. This accomplishment reflects her hard work and the bond we formed together.
Now, Widow is ready to embrace her future as a personal protection dog, equipped with the skills to provide safety while remaining a loving companion. We’re excited to see her thrive in her forever home, ready to take on her important new role!

Name this principle⁉️The less desirable behavior can be reinforced by the more desirable behavior.
Practicing the recall by recalling back to the shade on a hot day will increase the less desired behavior of coming back if the dog needs to seek shade for comfort.
Seeking is a genuine emotion a dog experiences. So if we manipulate the training environment to where the dog is seeking comfort by performing a behavior… we win and the dog learns.
