CozyDawg Dog Training

Welcome to CozyDawg Training! I focus on positive reinforcement training, based in creating clear c My name is Elizabeth Poore-Jennings, and welcome to CozyDawg.

I have been training dogs and horses as a hobby for about 20 years, and professionally for two years. I spent one year teaching some pretty amazing people and dogs at Petsmart in San Mateo, CA. Now I am back up in Washington State, and open for business. I have experience with basic service dog training, rehabilitation for poor early socialization, resource guarding, puppy training, potty training

, and more. I do not at this time work with truly aggressive animals, as a qualified animal behaviorist is necessary for such cases. I can, however, consult with you to determine if aggressive behavior is resource guarding or true aggression.

Someone asked me about life rewards and I thought bid share an example. Sorry for poor video- I was focusing on the dogs.
The black dog is Riley, who's been with us only a week. He went to puppy class before his mom got cancer and was home bound, so it's been a while. He does know "sit", but doesn't understand that he needs to do it on cue to get what he wants. He's learned to "cute" his way through, or just bulls through doors and gates etc.
So he really wants to run through the gate, but doesn't want to sit. River and Fezzik both sit to go through, and you can kinda see Riley think about it. I do repeat the cue, but only after a long pause for him to think on it a bit. He eventually recalls that "sit" gets him a treat, and may get him this, as well.
The marker "yes" gets him the reward of going through the gate and playing with the others, which works just as good as a treat.

The more different situations in which I ask for and get the behavior, the more consistent it will be. This is called "proofing" the behavior.

Life rewards and proofing is important to take your pup that next step past introducing the behaviors and is important whether you are rewarding with treats at first or never use treats.
