Teaching your dog to sit and/or down at the threshold until you release them will keep them from bolting through the door. Threshold drills are simple to train and don’t take much time at all. To start simply walk the dog to the door(I would start on leash), have them sit or down and reward. Everything else at the threshold is built from there.

I get asked a lot about ecollars, most commonly known as “shock collars”. The ecollar is a wonderful tool when conditioned and used properly. This tool gets a bad reputation, a big part of that is because people do not do their research before using an ecollar.

In many cases an owner wants to extinguish an undesired behavior, such as digging in the yard. They purchase a collar turn the stimulation up “high” and use stimulation to correct the behavior. In more cases than not, this causes more issues.

If you think the ecollar may be something you want to look into as an option for your dog, educate yourself before moving forward. Reach out to a trainer to help you properly condition the dog to the ecollar. When conditioned properly it is a great and versatile tool It can also offer your dog some off leash freedom he/she may not otherwise have.

Exercise is important for dogs and helps them stay healthy just like for us humans. This is just one of the ways we exercise our dogs.

What activity do you use to exercise your dogs?

Can an owner’s anxiety affect a dog who is already leash reactive?

In my humble opinion, owners who show anxiety (I like to call this handler reactivity), in situations where reactivity is triggered in their dog, can very well play a part in increasing the issue at hand.

For example, Sally is walking Fido, who is reactive to other dogs while on leash, on a downtown sidewalk. They meet another individual walking their dog coming head on. When Sally’s body tenses up and she draws in the leash adding tension becoming a ball of nerves. Fido knows that she is stressed, not only by her body language but by the change in her cortisol levels (the nose knows). Sally’s anxiety and “fear” of what is about to come will play a big factor in how Fido handles this situation.

Train your dog to walk nicely on a leash. Once your dog knows how to walk nicely on a leash walk with confidence (your dog needs a confident leader) and begin exposing your dog to these situations a little at a time.

Will this fix the issue completely? No, there will still be some work to do; however, it is a very good starting point.

TIMING….what’s the big deal?

Timing is important for two big reasons when it comes to not only training a dog but living with a dog.

1. Reinforcement- When you want to reinforce a behavior timing is important. You want to reinforce the desired behavior the moment in time the dog offers it.

2. Correction- Corrections must be timely and appropriate. When a dog offers an undesirable behavior the appropriate correction must be made right then. Failure to correct an undesired behavior is just as bad as reinforcing it.

Koa finished up her customized training program today. This little pup made loads of progress as she and her owners went through their training program. Yesterday and today I got to spend some time with Koa and one of her owners training in some areas riddled with distractions. Koa had some issues with reactivity on lead; in the last two days she has progressed by leaps and bounds in that area. I look forward to seeing Koa’s continued progress in the future; thank you Jamie and Jenn for trusting JB Canine with your training needs.

Whether you’re talking about the working dog world or the pet dog world, so many people want an “instant trained dog”. They do not realize it’s the journey that shapes you into the handler and/or trainer you become. Many times they do not want to take the time to put in the work required to shape the dog into what they envision.

Life with dog is a journey that never ends; and if the work and effort are put in it will be a journey full of growth for both dog and handler that will draw the best out of dog and handler.

Meet Kyra the Boxer; she started our Puppy Training Program today. During this training program, we will start to build the bricks of her foundation for what the future holds. Her family is active and plans of integrating her into that lifestyle. Today we began with teaching her leash manners. I look forward to seeing the progress Kyra and her owners make together during their training journey.

Charlie and his owners had their last session in our Basic Obedience Training Program today. I am especially proud of how far they have come; both dog and owners. Thank you David and Glenda for trusting me with your training needs. I look forward to seeing your progress continue.

A little work in the snow. Here is a short video taken during a ball session with Koda where I mixed in some recalls. You can make your play sessions productive for your dog by mixing in some training exercises.

Let’s see those pictures of your dog enjoying the snow. Post them in the comments.

You get the behavior you reinforce. This is the most important principle for any dog owner to understand. It sounds simple, but so many people do not grasp the concept.

A short afternoon track with Koda. A work in progress; She blew the second article but continued working. Once she got to the road crossing I was happy with how she worked it out. We are usually tracking to articles; so tracking to a toy at the end caused a little confusion for her. All things considered, this is the first track we have ran in about 3 weeks; so I was happy with the way she worked. Never stop training!

A snippet from a push/pull drill with Charlee. In this context push refers to sending the dog away and pull refers to calling the dog back to you. You will notice she is slightly distracted; there were several birds that entered the yard and I was fighting genetics at that point.

Training never stops. We took my wife’s dog Archie with us on a short vacation. After taking him to potty by a nearby pond, I decided to take advantage of an area rife with distractions such as people, other dogs, golf carts going to and from, etc… and do a little leash work; something we tend to let get slack with this little fella.

How do you train complex behaviors? You splice it into individual behaviors and when the dog has an understanding for the individual behaviors you start putting them all together. Here I am working with Koda on waiting until released to go get the bumper. I started by placing her in a down and moving my arm in a tossing motion. This was the first session working this behavior. There is a small amount of confusion but she is starting to put it together. The next step will be to swing the bumper in a throwing motion by the rope attached to it. Then moving on to short tosses and so on…

Taya helped me introduce Archie a couple months ago. Archie’s is my wife, Whitney’s dog; and due to being fairly busy here lately we haven’t had the time to work with him like we should have been. Here is a recall drill I worked on him with today.
