Happy Holidays from my family to yours! 🐶🐾❤️

Treat delivery! 🤩

Feeding your dog a treat straight to their mouth is common but do you ever get creative with your treat delivery?!

Other ways I deliver treats is to have the dog catch them or play training games such as “find it” and “get it”. The delivery depends on the individual dog and specific context of the training session. 🐶

What are your favorite ways to deliver treats to your dog?

Digging! I know a lot of us humans think this is a bad behavior but for a lot of dogs, it is a natural behavior. I love finding safe areas for my dogs to dig!

If you have a dog that loves to dig, you can either build your own dig box or buy your dog a plastic kiddie pool. You can fill it with sand, dirt, play chips or a bunch of dog toys/balls. This can give them an appropriate outlet for their natural instinct to dig!

Giving them their own space to dig can save your gardens and plants. Will they need help and guidance to learn that the dig box is for them? Absolutely but well worth the effort! 😉😁

The chin rest! This is one of my favorite cooperative care behaviors to teach. Is it easy? No. Does it take time? Yes but worth it! ❤️

The pictures are of Hula performing her chin rest for an exam

Hula held her chin rest perfectly for the examination of her back end but her front end was more challenging. I do not consider this a failure for either one of us. It was actually a huge success! 🤩🎉 This was great information for me on what area we need to focus on as we continue to progress on this behavior.

Just a fun post! Aloha’s DNA definitely gave her a splash of black on her tongue. 😉❤️

This is your reminder to take a minute and just breathe. ❤️

Thank you Dill, the Husky, for this perfect picture that reminded me to stop and take a deep breath in this crazy busy thing we call life. 🥰

Happy Birthday Radar! I can’t believe he is 7 years old! He is still active, spry and playful! He is “technically” a senior but he doesn’t act like a senior. Although, he does enjoy a good nap! 😉❤️

Figured I would post a few pics of him posing and then a few pics of his true self. 🤣

I am so proud of my girl, Hula! In April, she got to fly with me in cabin for the first time. We went to a continuing education conference in Portland, OR. This girl is a rock star. Not a peep on the plane and was fabulous no matter what was happening for 4 days at the conference! ❤️👏

The first picture is of her waiting to board the plane in San Diego.

The second picture is of her and I waiting for my bag at our destination. I had her out of the carrier on leash to let her stretch her legs but instead she hopped back in after getting a much needed drink of water. 🥰

Needless to say I couldn’t be more proud!! 😁🐶🤩

Perching! This is when your dog(s) jump up on an object. It could be a boulder, bench, short cement wall, etc.

Perching is great for:
1. Creating more enrichment and fun on walks and/or hikes.
2. Letting a fearful dog perform a known behavior that will create more space from oncoming “scary” triggers (people, dogs, strollers, etc) while out and about.
3. Getting out of people’s way on walks and/or hikes to let them pass.

**Please note: Perching is for dogs that are physically able as to avoid injury. Consult your vet if you have any physical concerns about teaching this behavior.

This girl. How is she 9 years old today?!

Words can’t describe what she means to me! I am so pleased with how she continues to learn and build confidence! Just goes to show that we are never done learning and blossoming as we age! ❤️

I wanted to share a huge honor that I received! Aloha Positive Dog Training won the 2023 Small Business of the Year for Bonsall! Thank you Bonsall Chamber of Commerce as well as the members that voted for me! I am beyond excited about this award! Forever grateful! 🥰👏🥰

Capture & Reward!

If you recognize and reward your dog for behaviors you like them doing on their own, then you wouldn’t have to say “no” and “don’t do that” as much.

This could be not barking, not jumping on you or guests, laying down on their bed, and chewing on a toy or bone.

Rewards can be calm praise, treats, toy play and/or affection & pets. The reward may be different for every dog and every captured behavior.

What behaviors do you like to capture & reward with your dog?

This is what walks with my dogs typically look like: Walking, sniffing and a bit of doggy parkour. 🐶😁❤️

I tend to give my dogs a lot of freedom on walks yet they are still aware that I am at the other end of the leash. I can call their names at any given time and have their full attention.

I have also taught them to check in with me when someone is approaching so that they are close and attentive when people (without or without a dog) are passing by.

*Please note that Tibbs (Coltriever) is concerned in the parkour picture. I had a treat in my hand and he was concerned as to when it was going to be delivered. 😉
