Havana Dog Training

Can you believe this is the same dog? Just a few days of Day Training and Kodak has gone from jumpy puppy with zero attention to a much calmer and focused dog. You can also see he’s in a totally different frame of mind and is ready to listen and learn! He’s ignoring the dogs and other distractions around him. This is why we LOVE day training. Kodak loves the two play groups he gets with his friends each day, but can you imagine how difficult it would be for his owners to walk him on a leash past another dog if all he did was play? He needs the training and downtime to balance out his ability to be calm and listen to commands around other dogs. If every time you take your dog out in public you feel like all obedience goes out the window, Day Training might be just what your dog needs. Learning to listen around other dogs and distractions is huge!

How does your dog respond when afraid? Although this video might just look like a cute trick, it’s really about the dog’s mindset. Does your dog slam on the brakes, flee, bite, or panic when afraid? Using positive reinforcement to make little scary things not so scary is a great first step to change your dog’s mentality about those scary things!

Puppies are little sponges 🧽 Miss Willow had a successful first day of day training! Skills featured: send to place, stay on place, spin/twist, getting into heel position, ignoring distractions (foundations for leash walking), and sit stay! Got a puppy? We can help!

A little glimpse into a morning at day training!

⭐️ Meet Ted ⭐️ Ted loves coming to day training each day! He’s made tons of progress in his ability to relax and not be so anxious. He’s also listening to a variety of obedience commands much more consistently! Ted is part of our ALL ACCESS program. We love hanging out with this goofy boy each day!

It’s Saturday, and what are the trainers doing? Training their own dogs of course! Working on positions and rear foot targets today! Remember, training should be a party, and your dog should be loving it as much as you!

Happy, happy dog!

These two are best friends!

Canine confidence is key to a well-mannered dog. A dog that is confident takes life in stride. He isn’t afraid of new people, new places, and new situations. He is happy and free of anxiety. The confident canine has trust in his owner. He works, plays, and listens eagerly. The owner and dog work together as one. As a team. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and check out our online training course “Confident Canine” to help build the confidence in your dog.

And GO! How cute are they? - - - #havanadogtraining #dogtrainers #dogsofminnesota #doglife #cutepuppy #pets #dogsofowatonna
