Puppy Tip-Recall/ Coming to you- You need a puppy who not only pays attention to you but comes running all excited to you every time you call him/her. Make sure when your puppy comes to you the puppy does not relate anything negative with coming.Do not put them in their crate or give them a bath after calling them. Give them treats and pets after having them sit or put a leash on them and walk them over. Coming to you should be the most exciting thing you puppy can do.
Do not call your puppy if you do not think it will listen. You are just reinforcing ignoring you. Be careful not to use your puppy’s name over and over. Never use puppy’s name as a negative correction. #

Puppy Tip Tuesday:Training is Fun- You want your puppy to get excited when it is training time. Training should be the best time of the whole day. Not only does puppy get to interact with you but he hears happy voices and receives treats and toys.
My puppy classes are my favorites because they are fun for puppy and human.
Set a time special time for training not when you are frustrated, tired or upset.

07/14/2024

I have an opening for my sport class. This class has been moved to Thursday July 18th at 4:00pm. This class is for anyone who may either be interested in participating in Obedience, Rally or agility in future or just wants to build on your dog’s confidence and impulse control.

07/14/2024

Unconditional love and the best protectors against anything scary.

07/09/2024

Puppy Tip Tuesday-Bite Inhibition- Some puppies are naturally softer mouthed than others. Some puppies have started to already learn from their mother or littermates how to control their bite. .Puppies need to learn how to bite in play or when warning other dogs or people without causing damage. Also, it is proper to bite the rope and tug but not proper to bite my pants and pull. Never let a puppy chew on you unless it is gentle or bite at you in rough play. Do not hold puppy’s mouth closed or use your hand as a weapon in anyway. This is where playing with other well- balanced dogs that will tell puppy “no” in a correct way is important. You also need to remove yourself when puppy is playing inappropriately.

Training the dog in front of you. My thoughts as a positive-reinforcement trainer.

Celebrating Veterinarian Appreciation Day can be a wonderful way to show gratitude for the hard work and dedication of veterinarians. Veterinarians have a very important part in our pets lives. Most people do not realize also a high su***de rate and depression. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate:

1. Personal Thank You Notes: Write personalized thank you notes expressing your appreciation for their care and dedication to your pets.
2. Social Media Shout-Outs: Use your social media platforms to publicly thank your veterinarian. Share a story or photo of how they’ve helped your pet and use relevant hashtags like .
3. Gifts: Consider giving a small gift, such as a gift card, flowers, or a basket of their favorite snacks. Homemade treats or a thoughtful item like a personalized mug can also be a nice touch.
4. Office Treats: Bring in treats for the whole veterinary office. A box of donuts, cookies, or a catered lunch can be a great way to show your appreciation to the entire team.
5. Leave Positive Reviews: Leave positive reviews on websites like Yelp, Google, or Facebook to help their practice grow and attract more clients.
6. Donations: Make a donation to a veterinary-related charity or organization in their name. This could be a local animal shelter or a broader animal welfare organization.
7. Support Staff Acknowledgment: Don’t forget the vet techs and support staff who work alongside veterinarians. Small tokens of appreciation for the whole team can go a long way.
8. Educational Opportunities: Offer to support continuing education opportunities for the veterinary staff. This could be in the form of sponsoring a webinar or providing access to veterinary journals and resources.
9.. Artwork or Pet Photos: Create and present a collage of photos of pets they’ve helped or commission a local artist to create a piece of artwork for their office.

By taking any of these steps, you can help make Veterinarian Appreciation Day special and let your veterinarian know just how much they are valued.

Sterling tucked herself in. Please ignore clothes everywhere last day of camp. Like many dogs, she instinctively seeks out a cave-like space. Without crates available, Sterling created her own version of a cozy retreat.

06/06/2024

Another day at camp! We were busy playing demo dogs, teaching other pups how to respond to a clicker, walk nicely on a leash, and be good citizens. We also got to go on walks and explore the flowers. Naturally, we had to strike some poses for pictures at the beach.

This what happens when you “party” all night.
9:00 am and you do not want to get up for breakfast.
BTW party means chasing 🐰🐇

04/11/2024

I would definitely agree with this list.

The worst dog food brands in America are also some of the most popular brands, even if they are unhealthy choices for canine companions.

Do your research. Yes I vaccinate my dogs and then do Titer test to see if they still have immunity. It is more expensive but I feel worth it. Unfortunately county still requires actual rabies vaccine.

Many people have been warning about these collars even though Vets and Pet stores have still suggested them.

A class action suit was just settled against the Seresto collar for $15 million! Owners are eligible for payment for collars they purchased, as well as some medical costs. See https://shorturl.at/jrsR7

Nicki thinks getting beautiful is exhausting but We wanted to wish you all a Happy 4th of July!!

Puppy tip -what to teach your puppy beyond sit and come...Proper chewing habits- Puppies need to chew. How do they know the proper toys to chew on? Puppies only learn proper chewing habits if supervised, so you can redirect and stop bad habits. You need to provide them with different kinds of toys. I recommend buy one stuffed, one rope, one ball and one rubber toy. See which they prefer. Another tip if you have children with toys or small things around. Put a drop of vanilla extract on dog toys and spread out toys with kids toys. Reward only when puppy picks the one with vanilla extract. #puppytips #puppytraining#sparksdogtraining #puppyclasses #renopuppytrainer#4paws

National Walk Your Dog Week is a great opportunity for dogs and their owners to spend some quality time. This holiday was started by Colleen Paige an animal advocate. Who wanted to help the dogs who are overweight and behavioral issues from not getting out. It is a week-long event is celebrated every year in the first week. Walking your dog is not only good for your pet's physical health, but it's also great for their mental well-being. Give lots of adventure and sniffing along their walks but always practice your obedience. Dogs are social animals and enjoy spending time with their owners. A daily walk can provide your dog with the exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Walking your dog is also beneficial for you. It can help improve your own physical and mental health. Walking can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and help you maintain a healthy weight. Besides it is a perfect time to get out and enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. So, get out enjoy and share some adventures with us. I would love to see your pictures or favorite places to visit. #dogwalking #walkthedogweek #dogexercises #dogadventures #leashtraining #walkingthedog #walkthedog #puppywalks

Very fun week! My goal was to get my pups to sit and stay at the end of the pier. They were too nervous about it last spring. I think Sterling‘s favorite was the lure course. She caught the lure-”plastic bag”. She bit it a couple times, then laid down on it to make sure it could not go anywhere I had to drag her off of it. that is why we waited till Friday to do it because it’s next to the agility field.🍁🍂🌲#tahoedogs #renodogs #laketahoe #lifeofadog #campingwithdogs #agilitytraining #lurecourse #paddleboardingdog

Rocky did so well today. He sat would asked and did it happily.

I wanted to share because many people would interpret this dog as being a stubborn dog. It would make my job easier if I could ask my dog how it feels. But dogs do communicate. As was said by Orhan Pamuk — 'Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.'

Rocky shuts down when asked a command especially out walking. This is where my training differs from other trainers. I could force Rocky into a sit with using pressure but he is already showing signs of distress by just be asked to respond to me. So I choose to wait him out and celebrate when he decides to respond to me.

Caught again…

Tried to catch them running and romping through snow but instead they caught me watching through the window

Trying again posted the other day but it cut off on my pages. Sharing one of my favorite products from Superzoo, Lickimats.So many uses medication, grooming time, bath time, and they just came out with one that sticks to car window to keep them busy in the car. Even has a lip to keep your car from getting slobber all over. #stresseddogs #puppytips #doglover #dogtrainingtips #dogsofrenotahoe #4paws #lickimat #superzoo2022 #nobarking

Getting spayed or neutered is never a happy time for our pups. I am trying to make it as comfortable as possible. I will be sharing tips for giving your pups stuff they can do to keep them busy.#doglife #calmdogs #suiticalfordogs
