Shoutout to the amazing CLEAR staff at Ontario Airport! ✈️🐾 They’ve been so welcoming and supportive of our service dogs in training. Pro tip: Always have your DOT paperwork ready—digitally or on paper—for smooth travels with your service dog. Thanks, Team CLEAR, for making travel easy and efficient! #HopeDogTraining #ServiceDogs #TravelTips

Ever wondered what makes your dog nervous? Try looking at the world from their perspective. At the airport, it's all feet, wheels, and bags on the move. It’s like a game of 'What’s that?' on high alert! 🐾👀 #DogTraining #PupPerspective #TrainingAtTheAirport

We’re continuing our training at the airport! One of our favorite spots to work with the dogs is right where the action happens—buses, carts, and lots of movement. 🚌🛒 These sessions are all about desensitizing the pups and keeping them calm in a busy environment. We focus on down stays and provide plenty of rewards to reinforce their hard work. 🎉🐕 Fun fact: Smart carts are a key part of this training! Dogs often find the moving wheels tempting or intimidating. By exposing them to these everyday airport sights, we help them build confidence and stay focused. Great job, pups! 🐶👏 Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes training moments.�#HopeDogTraining #ServiceDogInTraining #AirportTraining #Desensitization

Villi has been diligently working on overcoming distractions, particularly moving objects like bikes and other wheeled items. These focused training sessions are critical to ensuring that, when he’s on duty at the airport, nothing takes his attention away from his job. Great job, Villi! 🐕✈️ #ServiceDogInTraining #FocusAndDiscipline #HopeDogTraining

Walking with Brixton and his buddy at the airport! 🐾✨ This training session focuses on desensitization and building confidence. From mastering a heel command to navigating busy areas and practicing sit-stay at corners, Brixton is learning to stay calm and focused in this bustling environment. Pro tip: Always give your pup a bathroom break before heading into high-energy spaces like this! 🐶✈️ #ServiceDogTraining #HopeDogTraining #FocusAndConfidence

Training a dog's nose is like guiding them through a barbecue—it's all about working with the wind! 🐾💨 By positioning the dog into the wind, they can catch scent trails more effectively, just like how we smell what's cooking when the smoke blows our way. Watching a dog pick up the scent, bracket the area, and work towards the source is pure magic. Once they lock onto it, their excitement is contagious! This kind of training showcases the incredible bond between dog and handler—and the amazing capabilities of a dog’s nose. #ScentWork #GoodBoy #DogTraining #HopeDogTraining

Hope Dog Training is taking on Ontario Airport! 🛫🐾 Service dogs in training need to be ready for anything—including flights! That’s why we bring our pups to the airport to experience the real-life sights, sounds, and energy of traveling. Stay tuned as we share highlights from our field trip day and show you how we prepare these incredible dogs for the important job of supporting their handlers in every environment. ✈️🐕 #ServiceDogTraining #HopeDogTraining #AirportAdventures

Did you know dogs are visual learners? 🐶 They pick up on our body language, facial expressions, and even the patterns we create! Actions like reaching for treats before giving a command can become part of the cue, making it harder for your dog to generalize commands in new situations. ✨ Training Tips ✨ Give commands before reaching for treats. Keep treats away from your body during training. Fade food lures after a few successful reps to build independence! Clearer cues = smarter pups! 🐾💡
