That moment when you lock yourself out of the client’s house and you gotta take the jumping beans home for the rest of the afternoon 😂 At least Pawpi and Chico have been here before and didn’t mind hanging out for a few hours. (Ignore the mess they had fun with the toys)

Cracks me up that they think that they’re tough 🤣💕 Currently doing daily walks for Pawpi and Chico.

Flash almost fell asleep during his shave down 🤣 this is what happens when you train a dog from a puppy to tolerate grooming and handling. Flash is 3 and knows the routine.

Muzzle training on a walk from a couple weeks ago!
Unfortunately, I’m going to have to announce that I will no longer be offering dog training services until further notice. Since my car accident leaving me disabled, as well as sharing a vehicle because I don’t have one, traveling has become difficult for me. I have also expanded my other business, Motor City Menagerie which leaves me with a tight schedule between reoccurring doctor’s appointments.
I’m still offering sitting/boarding services within 5 miles of Roseville (except drop offs).
I will still try to attend this business page with training tips and If you’re a previous client of mine I’m more than happy to answer any training related questions.

Life hack: the price of dog plush toys is ridiculous! They are all some fabric and cotton.

So guess what, we get marked down holiday kid’s toys from the grocery store or we go to the thrift store. Both of these plushies were under $5 each and I actually prefer that they have no squeaker 😂

Sometimes when we dog sit, the pup in our care is not very interested in eating because they are confused or nervous about being outside of their home. They can go over a day without eating. Sometimes when dogs go long periods without eating, they throw up bile from an empty stomach. So a good way to prevent this, is by sprinkling a little bit of Parmesan cheese on their food. The cheesy aroma usually does the trick and makes them eat! I learned this trick after working in a kennel.

Article: When to Stop Using Food Rewards in Dog Training

The answer to this question is NEVER.

Really good trainers will never stop using food rewards. What they do is manage how often they use food in their training.

When people train with food rewards, they will always meet people who say how foolish they are for training with FOOD TREATS.

They say it’s only a matter of time before we ask our dog to do something and we don't have food with us, then what will you do?

This is the reason why it is so important to understand exactly how we reduce the use of food rewards in our training program.

When we start reward-based training, our dogs are put on a continuous reward program. The dog is rewarded every time it performs a behavior correctly.

In fact, we often jackpot rewards by giving the dog several food rewards in a row. Jackpotting helps maintain engagement after the behavior.

When we start teaching a new behavior, we often reward the dog for just TRYING to perform the behavior. That’s called successive approximation.

Successive approximation during the learning phase builds the dog's drive to figure out what we want. As it gains accuracy, we gradually wean the off successive approximation and back to rewarding when the dog performs correctly.

There is a fine line between using continuous rewards and weaning the dog off the reward....

Hero is a bit of a nervous nelly, so we’ve been giving him the space he needs. However, his owners do an excellent job of training him, like crate training. Hero actually prefers to be in his crate because it’s his safe space. This is why we recommend crate training every dog.
He has been a bit explorative today 🪴🐾

Grooming flash
Grooming flash

Flash almost fell asleep during his shave down 🤣 this is what happens when you train a dog from a puppy to tolerate grooming and handling. Flash is 3 and knows the routine.

Properly conditioning your dog to a muzzle is very important. If you have a dog that requires frequent muzzle use, you want them to have a positive association with it. Dogs benefit from use of a reward system and making their own choices. This not only helps the dog, but me as the owner to easily put this muzzle on. Can you imagine wresting a 140lb dog who doesn’t want to follow directions? Benefits of muzzle training are very diverse and doesn’t only apply to dogs deemed aggressive.

Dogs learn by association! They do really pick up on our words. Flash here is demonstrating that. He is very food motivated, as you can see. Flash volunteers to go into his crate when we say, “crate” “do you want to eat?” & “are you hungry?” That’s because most of our dogs eat their food in their crate, a very important step in the crate training process. Flash will now wait for us to feed him in the morning by sitting in his crate. (Excuse the messy bedroom!)
