The Good Dog Academy

The Good Dog Academy Sit Starts Here Our dog training philosophy is based on my education at Triple Crown Dog Academy and the book, How Dogs Learn by Mary Burch, Ph.D.

and Jon Bailey, Ph.D. I train using conditioning and positive,negative, and differential reinforcement. All positive training can be done, it will take much longer to accomplish your goals and it is not reliable, as the dog will only respond when he wants. I believe it is important to use all the tools at your disposal. When using negative consequences, remember to use just enough to be change the

behavior, I caution owners to be fair, just, benevolent leaders. I work with all sizes and any breed. All dogs need a leader who imposes rules and boundaries. First I tutor the human, and then train the dog. Once you understand why your dog acts the way it does, how dogs learn and what motivates your dog, then lines of communication are opened making behavioral changes much easier to achieve. Dogs innately want to please their leaders and by showing our pets what we like and don’t like, we make our expectations clearer, thereby creating a “good” dog. Dogs can’t tell us in English what they are thinking, just as we can’t speak dog to tell them what we want. Once we understand how dogs communicate with each other, essentially understanding dog language, we can quickly ascertain what your dog is feeling or thinking. Understanding dog’s behavior and language is an ever-growing process but there are to key elements that can give us a basic understanding and a starting place. In effect, we want to discourage or prevent unwanted behaviors and reward wanted behaviors. It is a simple guideline that can make drastic changes in your dog’s behavior. As much as we may want to treat our dogs like babies or humans to express our love, we must remember that is not how we create love and loyalty. Your dog will love you and be loyal to you, because you are a just leader who deserves his respect. Strong leaders can earn respect in subtle ways; everything you do and don’t do concerning your dog teaches him something about you and your expectations.

Update***
We just dropped the border collie pups off with BCSave. Thank you so much for getting us in touch with them. I feel assured that they will have a good life. They are going to one of the volunteers that does sport dog stuff and he is going to see if they have the drive for it or if they are just awesome companion dogs.

Thank you all for your likes, comments and shared to help these pups!

🚨 Urgent: Two Adorable Border Collie Puppies Need a Loving Home! 🚨

Meet Hank and Zeke—two AKC-registerable Border Collie brothers who’ve overcome a rough start and are now ready for a brighter future! 💙 These clever pups were born on June 3, 2024, and recently rescued from heartbreaking conditions. After receiving the care they desperately needed, they’re now happy, playful, and thriving. 🌱

🐶 About Hank & Zeke:

Hank: A quick learner and energetic pup. He’s working through food aggression, and with the right guidance, he’ll continue to improve.
Zeke: A bundle of joy who loves to play and explore. His curiosity knows no bounds!
Both boys are incredibly smart, full of love, and need a home where they can continue to grow into the amazing dogs they’re meant to be. 🏡❤️

🌟 The Perfect Home: We’re looking for a family or individual experienced with dogs, especially someone who can help Hank overcome his food aggression and provide a stable, loving environment. These boys will do best with someone who understands the needs of Border Collies and can offer the time and care they deserve.

If you or someone you know is ready to give Hank or Zeke their forever home, DM me or leave a comment below! 🙌✨
