Teaching Tali Off-Leash Recall:
The Role of Corrections in Training
Training Tali for off-leash recall ensures her safety and enjoyment outdoors. Start with basic obedience on a leash, gradually increasing distractions and distances.
Introducing corrections when necessary helps reinforce the command and address any missteps, ensuring Tali understands and responds appropriately. By balancing rewards and corrections, Tali can master off-leash recall, enjoying more freedom while staying safe.

Tucker is killing it with all of these distractions! His training with us is coming to an end, he's almost ready to go home, and were ready to continue training at group classes! 🐶
Something you will hear in this videos is Dalton correcting Britney and advising her to move to the next command. This is something you will see and hear at the time of go home. Our job at this point is to be sure you, as the handler, are confident and comfortable with the command so you can continue education at home and keep up with training! Training doesn't end when you leave the facility!

Let's talk about an important topic - the misuse of service dog vests. While the intention might be well-meaning, putting a service dog vest on an untrained pet can have serious consequences.
Here's why:
1. Undermines Legitimate Service Dogs: Legitimate service dogs undergo extensive training to assist individuals with disabilities. Misrepresenting an untrained pet as a service dog undermines the credibility of those who rely on highly trained assistance animals.
2. Behavioral Challenges: Untrained pets may not be prepared for the unique challenges of public spaces. Service dogs are carefully trained to remain calm, focused, and well-behaved in various environments. An untrained pet in these settings can lead to disturbances and potentially unsafe situations.
3. Stigma and Distrust: Misrepresentation erodes public trust in the legitimacy of service dogs. It creates skepticism and challenges for individuals with legitimate service animals, who may face increased scrutiny due to the actions of those with untrained pets.
4. Legal Consequences: Falsely representing a pet as a service dog is not only unethical, but may also have legal consequences. Many places have laws in place to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities and their service animals.
What You Can Do:
Educate Others: Share this post to raise awareness about the importance of respecting the role of service dogs and the potential harm caused by misrepresentation.
Promote Responsible Pet Ownership: Encourage pet owners to invest time in proper training for their pets, ensuring they behave appropriately in various situations.
Support Legitimate Service Dogs: Be an advocate for those who genuinely need the assistance of service dogs. Respect their rights and the hard work that goes into training these amazing animals.

Let's debunk a common misconception: the idea of service dog registrations and certifications.
🚨 Spoiler alert: they're not a real thing!
Myth: Service Dog Registration Exists:
Contrary to popular belief, there is no official government or nationwide registry for service dogs. Purchasing a "service dog registration" online does not grant any legal rights or certifications.
Reality Check:
No Legal Requirement: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not require service dogs to be registered or certified. Legitimate service dogs are defined by their training and the tasks they perform for their handlers, not by a piece of paper.
🌐 The Role of the ADA:
The ADA is the gold standard when it comes to defining and protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities who rely on service dogs. According to the ADA, businesses and establishments can only ask two questions to determine if a dog is a service animal:
1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
Beware of Scams:
🚨 Purchasing a "service dog certification" online might be tempting, but it holds no legal weight. Scams take advantage of well-intentioned individuals seeking legitimacy. Always prioritize authentic training and adherence to ADA guidelines.
Educate, Don't Validate:
Share this post to help educate others! The more we spread the word, the less confusion there'll be. Encourage people to focus on understanding and respecting the rights of service dog handlers.
Let's build a community that values accurate information and supports the rights of those with service dogs! If you have questions or experiences to share, drop them below. Together, we can dispel myths and promote a more informed perspective! #ServiceDogFacts #ADACompliance #EducationMatters #servicedog #servicedogs #dogsarefamily #ADArights #spreadtheword #supporteachother
Original Post from TikToker: @Servicebearmabel
Over the years you've learned a multitude of new skills that you didn't know previously. Each one having the potential to be overwhelming and unknown territory, but over time it eventually became second nature, not only are you able to do those skills with your eyes closed but at levels of excellence.
We all at some point have been ignorant dog owners, lacking the knowledge needed to even start training your pet. We've all done dumb stuff, we have made excuses, felt overwhelmed, given up when the going gets tough, and blamed it on the pet being stubborn or even untrainable but the reality is, its not the dogs fault, is it? What we really had is a knowledge to self development gap!
🚨THAT IS OKAY! 🚨
Now that we are here we have the ability to make a change and start the journey to training not only for the dog but for ourselves too. What it really required was true desire and commitment. We can go from "dog owner" to "owner of well trained dog".
All that to say, you don't have to become a dog trainer but you do have to become the equal of dogs problems and goals. This is absolutely available to all of us who have struggled- We have been there too.
Like anything, you currently have only desire for, you simply have to be determined enough to improve. PERIOD!

Understanding a dog's body language is crucial in respecting their boundaries and ensuring a harmonious interaction. Dogs communicate primarily through their body, and being attentive to their signals helps prevent overstepping boundaries and promotes a positive, respectful relationship.
Why Reading Body Language Matters
Dogs express themselves through subtle cues like posture, facial expressions, and tail movements. Observing these signals allows us to gauge their comfort levels and emotional state. For instance, a relaxed posture with a gently wagging tail signals contentment, while stiffness, lip licking, or a tucked tail might indicate discomfort or anxiety.
Respecting Their Space
By understanding their body language, we can avoid invading their personal space unintentionally. Approaching a dog too quickly or ignoring their cues to back off might make them feel threatened or stressed. Giving them the choice to approach and respecting their need for space fosters trust and mutual respect.
Building Trust and Boundaries
Recognizing a dog's signals helps create boundaries that align with their comfort. It's about establishing a relationship based on trust and understanding. Learning to interpret when they want space or when they're open to interaction builds a stronger bond.
Stay Attentive and Mindful
Being present and attentive during interactions with dogs is key. It allows us to adjust our behavior based on their cues, ensuring a positive and stress-free environment for both the dog and ourselves.
Educating Others
Sharing knowledge about dog body language is crucial, especially for those unfamiliar with canine communication. Educating others helps prevent misunderstandings and promotes safer interactions, reducing the risk of conflicts or uncomfortable situations for both dogs and humans.
By respecting a dog's body language, we honor their individuality and build a foundation of trust and understanding.
