✨ Keep it Fun✨Making recall training fast and fun is essential because it encourages your dog to respond quickly and willingly when called. Using excitement, rewards, and playful energy strengthens their desire to return to you, even in distracting environments. A positive and engaging approach builds trust, reinforces good behavior, and ensures your dog’s safety in off-leash situations.Put ALL of your obedience commands into use throughout your day, not just during training sessions. This will help create a solid foundation and understanding of the commands.Remember, all dogs are NOT the same when it comes to training. Because most trouble with training comes from the handler, you will save A LOT of time and money by working with a reputable professional trainer.If you are local to Riverside, Ca check out @iheartk9! They offer very affordable group or private lessons from puppy/beginner to advanced.🎥 featuring Ciabatta excitingly listening to her recall command. We are accepting applications for Ciabatta’s adoption💕..#obediencetrainingsaveslives #trainyourdog #trainingtips #dogtrainingtips #frenchbulldog #frenchie #frenchiesofinstagram #belgianmalinois #malinois #dogtraining #obediencetraining #iheartk9 #riversidecalifornia #riverside #southerncalifornia #rescuedog #dutchshepherd #workingdog #dutchshepherd #proplan #recalltraining #practiceeveryday #gsd #bulldog #dogrescue #supportrescues #charity #family #familydog #besties #bestfriends

🐶 Brioche 🐶 endured long term neglect. Malnourishment and lack of treatment for simple to treat ear infection. Ear infections are uncomfortable, itchy and painful. This chronic infection went on far too long, causing inflammation, mineralization and closure of the canals. When she came into the shelter these growths were open and bleeding from her scratching at them. @baloojasfoundation and @deltaforceanimalmission teamed up for a much needed rescue of her and Ciabatta (stay tuned for her update).Both girls were sick and treated for URI’s in addition to pre surgical treatment of their ears.Friday evening, Brioche had her ear ablation surgery!! It was the worst case of neglected ears our vet, Dr. Means, at SoCal Animal Hospital has seen. We are so very thankful to Dr Means and Dana for getting this sweet girl all fixed up!Brioche is home healing and doing well in the loving laps of her amazing fosters Jim & Aleah. Her ear canals are currently open and we are hoping upon recheck that will continue to be the case!

**Why Chewing Matters for Working Dogs: The Importance of Appropriate Toys**
If you own a Working dog, you know they’re high-energy, intelligent dogs with a strong work ethic. But did you know that chewing is one of their most natural and beneficial activities? Giving your dog the right toys to chew on can do wonders for their physical and mental well-being. Here’s why:
1. **Stress Relief and Endorphin Release**
Chewing is more than just a pastime; it’s a natural stress reliever. When your dog engages in chewing, their brain releases feel-good hormones like endorphins. This helps calm their minds, especially after a stimulating activity or a long day of training. A good chew session can turn a hyper pup into a relaxed companion.
2. **Mental Stimulation**
Dogs are problem solvers, and they thrive on mental challenges. Chewing gives them a task to focus on, keeping boredom at bay. Without proper outlets, their energy can turn destructive, leading to chewed furniture or other unwanted behaviors. Durable chew toys provide a safe and engaging alternative.
3. **Physical Benefits**
Chewing helps maintain healthy teeth and gums by reducing plaque and tartar buildup. It’s also a great jaw workout for these strong and active dogs. Providing appropriate chew toys ensures they use their energy constructively while benefiting their dental health.
4. **Energy Regulation**
Working dogs have endless energy reserves, and chewing is a productive way to burn off some of that excess. After a long chew session, you’ll notice a more relaxed dog that’s ready to settle down—an important benefit for both their well-being and your sanity!
Choosing the Right Toys
Not all chew toys are created equal. Look for durable options designed for strong chewers, such as rubber toys, or natural antlers. Avoid toys that can splinter or break into small pieces, as they may pose choking hazards.
By providing your Dogs with the right chew toys, you’re not
