Slyvia D'Entremont, a client of ours, was looking to get rid of a treadmill and asked if I'd like to take it off of her hands. I said yes. Years ago, Arturo had learned how to use a treadmill when we were training with my mentor Felix Rosado . As Arturo is getting older and his cognitive function is declining, I've been looking for a less strenuous way, out of the elements to keep him both physically and mentally healthy. I wondered if he'd remember how to use the treadmill. Not only did he remember, but seemed to really enjoy it! Once he gets more comfortable we'll try to bump it up a notch lol.
So grateful for this! Thank Slyvia β€οΈπΎ

Hamil and I went out to Westlake Ace Hardware San Angelo to do some training and he did great! He's such a well-behaved but fun pup! β€οΈπΎ

How to help a puppy understand that jumping on people is not the way to get attention.
This will take some persistence on your part, but once your puppy is conditioned to sit for attention, it'll hold up for their lifetime. Make sure your family and friends understand that jumping is not to be rewarded or given attention to. You'll need everyone on the same page if you want to be successful in teaching this.
The amount of heart Hamil has is humbling. Only one week into his board and train and he's grown so much! Not just training wise, but behaviorally. Helping him come into his own has been so rewarding.

( The food station used in this video is for smaller dogs than Gwen. Make sure you get a set up that's sturdy enough for your dogs weight to prevent wobbling and possible collapsing of the station )
Only 3 days into his training and Hamil is flying through his basic obedience! Such a cool lil guy! I love working with him β€οΈπΎ
Just a nice little melody to get ya'll going this morning βοΈπΎπΌ
Knowing and understanding how to effectively manipulate and communicate with your dog through the leash is so important!

Good morning and happy Friday ya'll πβοΈ
Just working some obedience through play with my girl, Zion
When their story is horribly boring but you're doing your best to show interest and not fall asleep.
It was a very brisk walk, but we had an awesome turnout for our dog walking group this evening ππ
Being able to have fun with the training and enjoy the time with your dog. That's what it's really all about. I love this clip of Blanca working her first training session with her 3 month old puppy Nola.

All my dogs are crate trained. Meaning, they understand that their crates are their safe space. Their dens. Not a punishment. It's where they can go to relax and sleep in peace.
I can send them in or guide them in gently.
They get rewarded for going in at my request.
There's no barking or whining. They settle right in and are comfortable doing so. They have a daily routine that helps them know when it's crate time and when it's free roam time.
There hasn't been any dogs that I've taken in or boarded that weren't able to catch on and get use to their crates. You just need to know how to do it properly and have the patience to follow through the first couple of days.
Petting your dog is super relaxing and a stress reliever! Don't take my word for it though, just listen to what Paul has to say!
