Let's talk leash walking. 🐕 While there are so many ways to teach basic leash walking, here is one of our favorite ways to start starring board and train puppy, Daisy! 🔹Follow The Leader🔹 The basic concept of this game is to teach your dog what to do when they feel leash pressure. Here are the steps: 1. Have plenty of tasty treats handy and have your dog on a regular flat collar or slip leash. Find a calm, quiet place where your dog can focus on you easily. 2. Walk in a random pattern (similar to what you see if the video). Try to stick to 90 or 180 degress turns. 3. Your dog will probably hit the end of the leash when you turn. Don't stop when you feel that pressure, keep walking. As soon as your dog turns and starts following you, telling them "Good!" and offer them a treat in the position where you would want them to walk. (refrence the video to see where we offer the reward.) 4. Don't ignore your dog if they are walking right next to you when you turn or while walking. This is a great time to continue rewarding them for walking next to you. 5. Keep sessions short, 3-5 minutes at a time is ample time. You want to keep training fun and simple. 🔹 Let us know how these tips help you below! 🔹🔹🔹 Need more help with leash walking?

Awesome outing with board and train Athena yesterday afternoon! One of our big goals for Athena was to help her with confidence around sudden movements and sounds. This outing was a huge win for us! Lots of exposure at the park with runners, people playing sports, and lots of kids playing on the playgrounds. Seeing her confidence grow has been so rewarding! Good job Athena! ▪ 💻 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com 📞 910-988-5346 📨 [email protected] ▪ ▪ #raleigh #dogtraıner #bensonnc #obediencetraining #raleighnc #ncdogtraining #bbk9 #battlebridgecanine #dogtrainer

How much exercise does your dog get?🐕 Exercise is a crucial part of any dog’s mental and physical wellbeing and is a huge part of our day to day life here at BBK9. Why is exercise so important? ▪️Physical Health: Regular exercise helps reduce the risk of obesity, arthritis, and other related diseases. It helps maintain a healthy weight, boost cardiovascular health, and helps keep muscles strong. ▪️Bonding: What’s a better way to build a fun and engaging relationship with your dog other than appropriate play? ▪️Mental Health: Dogs need engagement to be fulfilled. Exercise can satisfy this need. Actives such as running, problem solving, and exploring can help reduce the chance of boredom and destructive behaviors. ▪️Behavioral Health: Exercise helps reduce restlessness and helps maintain energy levels. Dogs who are exercised appropriately are more likely to be calmer in the home, reducing the likelihood of problem behaviors such as digging, barking, and other destructive behaviors. 🔹 Ready to start training? 📞 910-988-5346 🌐 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com 📧 [email protected] 🔹 #dogtraining #raleighnc #raleigh #ncdogtrainer #BBK9 #BattleBridgeCanine #boardandtrain

Day 6 update on Dahlia and Grizz, as well as some clips from their first outing with us today! These two pups are doing incredible! Still doing lots of luring to build that solid foundation and understanding while slowly adding in distractions and duration to the equation. Let's give these babies a round of applause!

What is one behavior I think every dog should learn? Settling! 👉🏻 learning to be calm and settle down is often an overlooked skill that SO many dogs could benefit from! ▪️▪️▪️#dogtrainer #battlebridgecanine #ncdogtrainer #bbk9

I unfortunatly didn't get much video of Jazzy when she dropped off, but we promise that her progress has blown us away! 🙌 Jazzy came to us to work mostly on leash walking and proper greetings toward strangers and her family. We have seen such a huge improvement in her leash walking and not jumping on people. She is now capable of settling right next to a complete stranger without feeling the need to steal all the attention! We are excited to continue to see her progress with her family now that she is back home! 🔹 🔹 🔹 Ready to start training? Reach out today! 💻 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com 📞 910-988-5346

We have been busy with outings these past couple of days! Today was Lincoln's turn to go out on his first outing. Our main focus was engagment and helping him feel better overall about being is busier environments. We spent some time working on his obedience as well as working on settling around a playground full of children. Couldn't have asked him to do any better! Good job Lincoln!

Awesome outing with Jazzy today! Lots of heel work and learning how to be calm and obedient around new people. Good job Jazzy! 🙌
