We LOVE seeing progress like this! Meet Team Shadow—they’ve been working tirelessly to help Shadow manage his excitement around other dogs.
🐾Shadow dreams of being social, but learning the right manners takes practice! Together, we're teaching him how to:
✅ Check in or sit politely instead of pulling toward other dogs.
✅ Respect his handler’s “leave it” cue and stay calm.
This journey has been a big challenge, but their hard work is paying off! Check out their progress in this video. 🐶👏🏽

You gotta laugh at yourself sometimes, I tried posting this video last week and when I hit “post” Facebook asked if I wanted to turn it into a reel, sure, I click on turn into reel and post. Lol since I am learning how the algorithm works i wasn’t aware that turning the video into reel will shorten the video to 1 minute! 🤣 the video I posted had a Great point behind it, but Facebook cut out the whole point to the video, so because of that mix up I got in return messages with tips on how to parallel park and even got comments from friends that were happy for me, 😂 I can’t! 🤣 hey at least a girl know who her support system is! ❣️ Anyway, if you have read this far this is the whole video and I hope you had a good chuckle with me thorough my learning experience. Reels = very short video! 🤣 🤦🏽♀️ Yall were great with parking tips, how about facebook tips, 😜 #facebookpost #learningisfun #LaughOutLoud #forcefreedogtraining #positivedogtraining #happydogshappylife
This is what progress looks like! Our dedicated handler and their pup have moved from chaos to calm, and now they’re walking as a team. The leash is loose, the dog is focused, and the handler is in control.Before the dog reaches the end of the leash, the handler gets their attention and redirects them to the reward zone—right where success happens. With an effective and reinforcing “conversation,” the handler is speaking their dog’s language and building trust step by step.This didn’t happen by accident; it happened with consistency, patience, and clear communication. Imagine what your walks could look like with the right guidance! 🌟 Ready to transform your walks?�✔️ Like this reel to cheer on this team!�💬 Drop a comment and share your biggest leash training challenge.�📲 Follow us for tips, tools, and more inspiring transformations.Let’s keep growing, learning, and celebrating these wins together! #forcefreedogtraining #positivedogtraining #happydogshappylife
Meet my client and his determined puparoo! At the start of the session, this energetic dog was pulling to the end of the leash, creating tension, and even jumping and biting the leash when redirected. We are using a ball as reinforcement for focusing on handler. But with just 20 minutes of focused training, look at the transformation! 🙌🏽Watch the next reel to see this pup learns to focus on their handler, adjust before reaching the end of the leash, and build a foundation for ongoing progress. 💡 Training isn’t about perfection overnight—it’s about small, consistent wins that lead to long-term success.❤️🔥 Ready to strengthen the bond with your dog and achieve amazing results like this?Double-tap ❤️ ❤️ if you’re inspired!💬 Comment what you’ve been doing to help your dog overcome their leash pulling.📲 Share this reel to if you believe that progress is possible with patience and guidance!Let's grow this community of motivated dog owners—follow us for more tips, transformations, and training wins! animalhouseacademydogtraining .com #forcefreedogtraining #PositiveDogTraining #happydogshappylife
In the wild (or for stray dogs), they use their senses to detect food from great distances. They sniff the air and ground, while their eyes scan for movement. Using their paws, noses, and mouths, they investigate to determine if something is edible. After a meal, they often rest or sleep, as eating triggers the release of hormones like serotonin and insulin, which make dogs feel drowsy. This natural response encourages rest and relaxation after eating.
If your dog is a picky eater or tends to scarf down their food, it might be time to switch up their boring bowl-feeding routine. Try hiding their food in a snuffle mat, or better yet, scatter it in your backyard so they have to "hunt" for their meal. This not only stimulates their natural instincts but also makes mealtime more exciting and interactive, strengthening their bond with you!

Hey there, amazing friends and dog lovers! 🐾💛
We’re so proud to share something truly inspiring with you today! In this week’s Inspirational Thursday post, we’re celebrating progress, teamwork, and the incredible bond between a dog and their owner.
Check out the video of Blue and his owner as they work together to master impulse control in real-life scenarios! 🐾🙌🏽 Through dedicated work on conditioning emotional responses, using counter-conditioning and desensitization techniques, Blue has transformed his reactions to small dogs and other triggers.
Where barking and lunging once took over, Blue now sniffs the ground to signal his owner that he needs space—an incredible milestone for both dog and owner! 😀
🆘🛟 Helpful Tip for Reactive Dogs: If your dog struggles with reactivity, try teaching them an alternate behavior (like sniffing or looking at you) to communicate their feelings. Pair calm moments with positive reinforcement to create new, more manageable habits.
Remember, every dog’s journey is unique, but with patience and consistency, progress is possible! 💫 🐶

⭐️ Happy Tuesday Dog Community! Let's dive into learning one of your dog's signals that often gets overlooked, Ever notice your dog sniffing every corner, like they’re on a secret mission? 🕵️ 🐾
This signal isn’t just boredom—it’s their way of telling you they need mental stimulation! Dogs experience the world through their noses, and sniffing helps them explore, learn, and even relieve stress.
🦴 Try doing this to help your dog out:
Interactive Play: Introduce scent-based games like a treat treasure hunt. Hide treats and let your dog sniff them out!
Enrichment Toys: Puzzle feeders or snuffle mats keep their brains and noses busy.
Structured Training: Teach cue word like "find it" or "go sniff" to channel their energy productively.
A mentally stimulated dog is a happy, well-behaved dog! If your dog seems restless or needs help with training, call us today to learn how we can turn sniffing into skill-building! 🐕✨
