Archie Malone; the happiest of dogs
I got this ball. Wanna see my ball? Wanna be friends? What a beautiful day! -probably the thoughts of Archie Malone 🤣 such a happy dude. #labs #happydog #labsofinstagram #yellowlab #place #4legs4pets #archie #adventure #adventuredog #sunsout #retriever #dogtraining #zelienople
Fern’s little legs were no match against her malinois brothers 🤣 but she tried! A fun alternative to playing fetch: down stay recall drills! Choose the distance based on your dog’s ability then increase from there. The only rule is they have to hold the down until you release them (and they have to come straight to you 🤪) This drill tires them out and proofs their obedience. We love multi tasking around here. #recalldrills #trainyourdog #dogtraining #fastdog #malinois #cattledog #offleashlife #happydogs #zelienople #cranberrytownship #dogsofpa #racing #obedience
𝑬𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 Chico has really settled in and even played with his toys this morning while other dogs were out! Venom is a great dog to have around the board and trains, whether they’re overly-excitable or incredibly nervous. She adjusts her body language / demeanor depending on the dog, situation, environment, etc. Its one of my favorite things about her. #boston #bostonterrier #bostonterriersofinstagram #terrier #terriersofinstagram #belgianmalinois #malinois #malinoisworld #malinoisdog #belgianmalinoisofinstagram #belgian #dogtraining #pittsburghdogs #pittsburghdogsofinstagram #pittsburghdog #steelcity #trainyourdog #bark #barkbox #barkhappy #playwithyourdog #sunday #sundaymornings #dogsofinstagram #dogoftheday
𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹….If I could only choose ONE command to teach my dogs, it would hands down be a RECALL.
What is a recall?
It is simply coming when called!
It’s the ability to get your dog back to you ASAP regardless of environment and distraction.
How many times have you said “Fido, come!” and your dog looks at you like you have three heads…. No shame, I’ve been there, too!
A recall not only allows your dog to have more freedom, but it also can prevent dangerous or life-threatening situations!
A recall allows us to rely on training rather than luck when you unclip that leash...
Your dog needs a recall.
We can help.
Give us a call @ 878-201-2007!

𝗆𝗈𝗇𝖽𝗂𝗈𝗋𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗋𝖾𝗍𝗋𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾:
What I love most about mondioring is that it’s a game of generalization AKA millions of ways to get creative in training!!! Both the dogs and handlers constantly have to adapt since the “picture” is always changing. The retrieve item could be 10 pool noodles taped together, a cardboard box, a shoe, a jump rope, as long as it’s not metal or glass and weighs under 2.2 lbs…
If a dog can perform a behavior in one environment, but can’t in another, the dog lacks generalization. Perfect example: A dog can hold a 1 minute sit stay in the kitchen for his food bowl but struggles/ is unable to sit for 2 seconds at the park.
So…How do you generalize?
Time and Repetition. There should be a steady progression of generalization to ensure your dog’s success!
The more places you go to train, the more reps you do, the FASTER and BETTER and more RELIABLE they become.

“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning” -Benjamin Franklin Layke has been working on improving his leash manners with me, and we have made some amazing progress so far! Watch how excited this little guy is to show off his refined leash etiquette🤩#cavapoo #layke #cavapoopuppy #leashmanners #progress #wellbehaveddogs #offleashdogs #dogtraining #pittsburgh #pittsburghdogtrainer #dogsofinstagram #smallbusinessowner #adventuredog #dogsofpittsburgh #playwithyourdog #trainyourdog #4qcanine
See that? This is what well mannered, leash trained dogs walk like. Walking these four pups at once was a breeze because of their amazing leash etiquette! No pulling, no barking, no growling. Good leash manners are crucial in insuring the safety of your dog, other dogs you may encounter on your walk, as well as yourself. Looking to improve your pup’s leash manners? We can help!

Muzzle Conditioning with Mowgli
This is responsible dog ownership at its finest. Mowgli’s mom packed a properly fitted muzzle and a bag of high value treats (hell yes).
Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident while handling their dog!

🐾Balancing a multi-dog household🐾
Jane, my 12 week old lab puppy, learning to self-occupy in the presence of our 3 other dogs.
Neutrality, management, creating appropriate expectations and having reliable obedience commands (from the older ones) are 🔑
Jane has many opportunities each day for training, play, socialization, and down time.
It’s all about finding a balance. ⚖️
🧽🧹Lifestyle training 🧹🧽
My new steam cleaner was delivered yesterday and I really can’t contain my excitement.
Mud+ many paws…
(I only offer dog training. No cleaning services,sorry 😉)
Cody is doing a fine job relaxing and working on his place command!
Training opportunities can be created anywhere!
Previous board and train graduate, Harley!!!
She is back for boarding while her parents are traveling!
Of course we took advantage of the weather and spent the afternoon at the park. Chilly but sunny ☀️
Walks were not always this enjoyable, however!
But with good training and consistency, Harley can walk with attentiveness and a loose leash in high distraction areas.
Effective training that lasts 🤩
(The Verizon sales guy told me I should DEFINITELY get the extended warranty since I am a dog trainer. Little did he know I’m the problem 😅)
Positions with Venom
The weather will not stop us from training!
(I said 372 times 🤣)
The best way to evaluate your training is to simply watch your dog.
In the past few sessions, we have worked a lot on “stands” to “sits” and “sits” to “stands.”
On the second command, when I said “down,” she ever so slightly went into a sit before completing the correct command.
So what happened?
She anticipated what I was going to say based on the repetitions we have been doing recently. She QUICKLY realized she performed the wrong command and folded herself back into a “down.”
It’s crazy how fast dogs find patterns (not just in training, but life in general!)
I know what we will be working on this week!
These dogs will always keep us on our toes!
