I know I talk about it alot, but taking the time to form a clear relationship with your pup, I feel is and should be a requirement when bringing a dog into your home.
They need to be taught how to do life with us. They do not come preprogrammed. What they do is natural to them and living with our dogs allows us so many teaching moments. It’s not just about nagging them forever and always telling them no, IF we take the time to show them how! Showing and teaching = less nagging and No’s.
A solid relationship involves; clarity, consistency in what’s okay and what’s not, boundaries and fun!! All of this needs to be done in a way that makes sense to them! Need some help learning how to “talk dog”? I got you; visit my website to learn how and to reach out. dogonitomaha.com

Open door is not your dogs invitation to go out of it!! We have to help them know what they need to do to go out and that is checking in with you! #dogsofinsta #checkin #clarity #teaching #patience #balanceddogtraining #omahadogtraining #omahadog #omaha
Zora here and I absolutely love that I get to eat my meals in whatever the heck this is. Teach Diana introduced it to me a few years ago to keep my mind busy and now this is just how I prefer to eat.
This is a great interactive tool for dogs of all ages to utilize some brain work, and also get their meals. https://amzn.to/3Y74p5C

Hey all, I’m Milo and I just met my new human family and so far so good! They took me to school I guess so they can learn all about how to help me navigate this world and not have my name become no! I was a little nervous of this wobbly thing at first, but you guys there was food involved so I just had to get on there!! I had so much fun!!

Pearl and her momma working hard on a new communication method! The E-collar is a great tool we can use with our dogs that “speak” their language and allows less pressure. Pearl caught on so well and just looks so happy following her moms guidance!!

Miss Koda is known to be quite excitable when walking past other dogs. We worked on helping with the walk last session and getting them equipped with the right tools and correct communication. They worked hard and you can see it all paid off!!! They said it was the calmest she’s been walking past a dog!! Nice work team!

Cara just doing a little swinging on our Sunday morning! 💜 I took her to the park to work on positively exposing her to different surfaces, elevations, etc. I brought food and we had fun!

Miss Nala has developed some food resource guarding so it’s been a work in progress. She doesn’t like when people are close and has made this clear with growling and lunging. Her owner has mentioned now that she doesn’t really want to eat out of her bowl. I feel there has been too many conflicts involved with the bowl so I said let’s try something else. As you can see, just changing what the food is in has helped with her wanting to eat. I think she felt too much conflict with her bowl so let’s make it easier and take baby steps with it. She eats fast so the cookie sheet still makes it harder to inhale it. All dogs are different and we must take an approach that works for them!

Miss Cara and I working on the walk. We keep them short and really work on engagement with me. We must become more important than everything else out there in the world! She’s got some mad focus and is doing so good!

Miss Cara wasn’t so sure about the pool at first, but with the help of Ruby and I she realized it was actually quite fun!!! Make sure you introduce your puppy to new things daily and do it in the most positive way!
Ruby helping out being a distraction with Benny and some recall! We have to become more important than everything else and Benny and mom are doing great!!

Don’t forget about your older pup when bringing a new puppy home! They need to know they are still a priority and get to do some of the same things they did before puppy! They both need separate time. When training a puppy, you will be much more successful doing that one on one without the distraction of the other dog. Ruby loves her time at the park so she will get that; just the two of us!! 💜

This makes my heart so happy!!! It can be tough for our older pups when we bring a puppy home. You must make sure to advocate for your older dog and not try to force the relationship between them. Ruby is never aggressive toward any dog, but really just doesn’t care much about them. I wasn’t sure how her and Cara’s relationship would be and just a week in Ruby is loving playing with her!! 💜

A lot of people ask me when you should start training your puppy. Right away is always my answer!! You want to set the stage for the behaviors you want from day one! Notice I did not verbally ask anything of her. But I have made it known they she will not get the food if she is barking and being crazy. Because of that she has caught on to what behaviors are wanted and gave this to me!! 👍
