Tomorrow is Maizey’s 1st Birthday! 💜🥳

Check out one of her awesome recall reps at the park this afternoon - it can be challenging for young dogs to come away from hard distractions (like running and sniffing at the park!) on their own so it’s our job to manage the situation to make sure she’s set up for success. To do this, we’ve been using a long line to prevent her from not coming when we call, while also rewarding her heavily when she does respond to our call and when she checks in with us on her own. 🤓

Nosework is a fantastic activity that you can teach to your dog year round and for a very low cost. This is how we personally start the process but there are many other ways to approach it. We love starting this process with our excursion dogs as well.

Recalls are such an important skill for dogs to learn - being able to come when called, even around distractions, can be life saving!

I love to reward dogs for checking in with me on their own along with practicing saying their name and running backwards, rewarding them when they catch up to me. The world is an exciting place, so the more fun & valuable we can make it for our dogs to come when we call, the better. 🐶

Sometimes when dogs are in a new place and really excited, unsure, or overstimulated, they aren’t interested in taking treats. This is very common and normal! The world is an exciting place and it’s our job to teach our pups how to confidently work in new places. What I’ve found is that being patient while they take in the new environment is key. Distance is your friend, get further way from whatever is overwhelming your pup if possible. And often times getting on the dog’s level can help a lot! I take some time petting Ashton and waiting for him to get comfortable before trying to ask anything of him. When he did start taking treats, I tried making the session really fun by tossing treats and running with him. What are some ways that you help your dog get comfortable in new places? 🤓

Excursion pup & pretty girl, Teddy working on leash skills outside of a grocery store 🐕 I’m rewarding her on the ground next to me to help build value for walking at my side. I’m also doing lots of turns to help set her up for success in this busy environment! www.totallyepicdogtraining.com

Cone training
Cone training

The “cone of shame” isn’t very fun for most dogs to wear, but we can work on making it a positive experience! My goal here is for Maggie to shove her face into the cone herself, to give her more confidence with putting the cone on. I highly recommend working on this (and similar behaviors like teaching your dog to put their nose into a muzzle) before you they need to wear one, that way you can take your time making it a good learning experience. 🤓
