Willow and I are luckier than most. And I am forever grateful for that. We were blessed with this life. To be able to take what we know and share it with others who need it too. But the way we operate and how I expect other to operate are totally different. For us, I work from home and I instruct humans how to train their dogs. So, that’s our life. We do this day in and day out. And every day is basically the same. We have our routine and all the time in the world to give her all the things she needs to thrive.

Do you know I still get the guilt bellyache? Like, opposite having butterflies. Am I giving her enough food? Do I crate her to much? Am I unfair to make her stay in my room when I have dogs and people in another when I’m teaching? Should I do more? Should I do less? Even knowing what I know to do I still doubt and question myself daily. The funny thing about it is, she doesn’t and never will. She doesn’t have the ability to been worry about that stuff because all she cares about is what’s going on in any given moment.

Our human emotion will always try to take the best of us but just know that no matter how your lifestyle looks, having that dog in your home (or with you no matter what “home” is) and doing right by them, you are enough for them. You may need to work at it. Actually, you WILL need to work at it. But that’s what all relationships are. Work. And it pays off. They are worth every second of that work too.

Another new day means another day of training. Why? Because every day is training day. And sometimes it doesn’t have to look like this. But literally every moment with your dog is a training moment. After I post this I’ll be laying with Willow working on handling in desensitizing to her paws! Dog walking later for someone then a private lesson at 2pm! Awesome day here and I hope you all have an awesome day!

Need your dog to learn to shut off? Have you shown them place? Have you set up some management in the home? A crate, exercise pen, cot and back tie? Dragging a leash inside? Hand fed and worked on a stay with 3 d’s? What are the 3 Ds? Not sure how? I can help! Send me a message 🙂

Radar got a lesson in proper tug play today. Amongst many other things we worked on. Great session, as always. 🐶🥰🙌

Nala (left) Zeke (right) had their first session today. Talking about utalizing the crate to help with separation anxiety and pack mate codependency. We talked about the art of marking & rewarding and how to do small training exercises using meal times to build value in the handler as well as mentally working them in a positive way! We have lots of work to do and we only scratched the surface today. They did a great job! Looking forward to more classes!

Our afternoon play/train session. We also had a nice walk as well. It’s cold. It sucks. I hate it. She doesn’t. It makes her happy. So it makes me happy. She’s down for a nap. My first session of the day coming soon. Then she’ll come out of the crate and we will walk again and she’ll be back in her room for another session I have later. Balancing out the day each day for what we need to do.

What is a trained dog?

In my opinion, it's a dog that can perform known tasks in known environments under known circumstances.

Otherwise they are in training.

Winston

Winston came by with his mommy who happens to be a very good friend of mine. He has lots of energy and she wanted to learn new things to do with him. This was one of the things we did with him! #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa #dosomethingwithyourdog #dogtraining #leadbyexample #itworksifyouworkit

Note to self…invest in snow pants #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa

I’m messing up my words and any time she’s released to get the ball it should be “yes” but a few times I have hiccups and say “okay”. She knows both. But she was confused at first in the beginning. That’s my fault that I need to be more mindful about. This was a fun few minutes of play before she has breakfast. #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa #dosomethingwithyourdog #dogtraining #leadbyexample

Afternoon out with Willow

Had a fun afternoon out! Now it’s time for Willows nap and my lunch time. Then another walk before dinner. Happy Saturday!! #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa #dosomethingwithyourdog

Puppy Obedience week 2

Jolene stopped by for her 2nd week of obedience training with her handler. We expanded on what we learned in week 1 then learned three new skills! Watch me, find it, and leave it! Here’s a clip of her learning “leave it”! Great work all! #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa #dosomethingwithyourdog #winter2024 #dogtraining #puppyobedience

Foraging

After a night in the kennel a great way to get some energy out is to let your dog sniff and explore out their food. This was an easier way as I didn’t make it to difficult to find the food but imagine doing this in the grass. In here, it takes her 10 minutes. If it was in the grass I bet longer. Then that brain winds down a bit I’m able to do some training. Then it’s back out for a potty break and then a nap. Rinse and repeat. #thezenwaydogtraining #nepadogtraining #susquhannacountypa
