HOPE Dog Training

HOPE Dog Training specializes in off leash control, even around major distractions. We teach advanced obedience and help build your bond with your dog.
(36)

In addition, we're now serving the Lubbock area! ANY BREED!!! ANY AGE!!! Dogs are pack animals, and when you bring a new dog into your home you have now created a pack, even if it’s only the two of you. It’s hardwired into a dog’s DNA to either lead or follow. Without proper structure and leadership, EVERY dog will assume the leadership role, no matter how uncomfortable they may feel in that posit

ion because dogs know that a pack needs a leader. This is what leads to unwanted behaviors from our companions; fear, anxiety and aggression to name a few. Whether it’s a super excited puppy, high energy working breed, aggressive, possessive, nervous issues, or you would just like consistent obedience; We at H.O.P.E Dog Training believe THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE, no matter how far gone you think your situation may be. Every dog has their own personality, just like people, and at H.O.P.E Dog Training we understand that without a proper evaluation of your dog, your goals, and the big picture, there is no way to give a proper recommendation for your expectations and goals to set your pack up for success. We at H.O.P.E Dog Training strive to teach you how to consistently be trusted and respected as the pack’s leader. There's always HOPE!

The beginners herding class is something we do to help owners tap into a job that the dogs were bred to do instinctively. There are many different herding styles and many, many breeds of dogs that excel in the activity. Most people think of border collie, Aussies and cattle dogs when they think of herding dogs, but not many people think of the breeds not known so much for herding like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Corgis, shelties or even mixed bred dogs with herding breeds in them.

Herding is great mental and physical exercise for your dog. It's also a fun bonding activity that many people get hooked on and decide to do more with their dogs, possibly competing.

Herding is beneficial in many ways. Aside from the obvious physical exercise aspect of it, when we start working on rules and control with herding, this transfers over to normal life in the form of impulse control, listening while in drive, attention around high distractions as well as consistency with commands while distracted.

If your in the Lubbock are and would like to see how and what your dog does with sheep or ducks contact us and find out how you can join our Beginners herding classes. [email protected] or 8067788732

Physical Exercise
Physical exercise, or lack of adequate exercise, is the leading cause of behavioral issues. Dogs were designed to move and they LOVE to run. Lack of physical exercise can cause a range of problems, from over excitement to stress and anxiety. Providing physical exercise for your dog also creates another avenue for mental stimulation. It gets us out doing something, it's another bonding activity and dogs love it. Physical exercise can be anything from biking, jogging, playing fetch or agility, to nose work and hiking. A walk is a dogs mental work, there should always be other avenues of releasing physical energy.

When the physical energy level is at 0 it triggers the mind to rest. This puts them in a more relaxed, balanced state of life. A tired dog is a happy dog! Even if you have a yard for your dog to go outside, it's still not adequate physical And mental stimulation needed for most dogs.

Tye has been working for the past couple of weeks and is now starting to enjoy the fruits of his labor. He's now seeing that he can enjoy and explore more when he listens. Of course, he still wants to do what HE wants which is why I randomly give him commands to show him that even during free time, he still has to pay attention to me and obey what's being said.

So many people think their dog is fine off leash, until a distraction comes around and their dog ends up in the street, in a fight, jumping on someone or running further off than they're comfortable with.

Using the long leash allows me to give dogs more room and freedom when they earn it. Using the long leash also allows me to grab it and follow through (or Enforce) commands when they think they don't have to respond to me. When dogs think there's no consequence for not listening, they will do what they feel is more rewarding before they decide to listen to what your saying.

Using the long leash allows you to get more OFF LEASH consistency around distractions. If you've skipped this step, it could be the reason your dog isn't reliable off leash when he gets distracted.

Tye came for training to help with his dog aggression. He's a very dominant dog and wants to dominate and control everything. This leads to dog fights, less walks and no freedom or fun.

He's now learning that he's not in control and it's not the end of the world. By following my leadership, he gets to explore more, meet more people and dogs and has the opportunity to have more fun. It's a process and won't be fixed overnight, but he's learning the way.

If you aren't seeking distractions, you aren't planning to grow. Enforcing Rules, Boundaries and consequences builds a solid understanding and relationship. The better the understanding and relationship, the more you'll be able to do with your dog.

To train as you live makes training a part of life and not something that you have to remember to do when you get a chance. Training as you live also builds consistency and fair expectations. If you aren't teaching your dog the proper way to respond and handle new environments and distractions, it's not fair of you to get upset when they react in a way that you don't like.

Atlas
Morning Pack Walk, working on Atlas's dominance. He's not aggressive but he wants to be dominate over other male dogs, especially other unaltered males. Even though he's not trying to fight, this can and will definitely lead to fights. It's my job as his leader to teach him better interactions and communication so that other dogs don't have to. The better his understanding of communication, the more dog friends he can have.

Lucy - (People and Dog Aggressive)
What a great week Lucy has had. She's learned to work through the teasing of the cats, she's now working OFF LEASH, and she was able to attend and be a part of the 2023 Critter Fest Event at the Science Spectrum.

Who would've thoight that the dog that was attacking other dogs and lunging (actively trying to bite) anyone in site, only a few weeks ago, could be a part of such an event. And on top of everything, she's enjoying herself, actually wanting attention.

Understanding, direction and consistency goes a long way.

How do you, "Train As You Live"? If you're only working on commands during training sessions or feeding times, you can't expect your dog to be much better than average. When you Train As You Live, you maximize your time by making your dog work while your working. Your work can be chores, cooking, cleaning, getting dressed, showering, taking care of the kids ect. If you give your dog a job to think about while your focused on your tasks, then when you're done you can both relax together. This gives you the opportunity to show your dog that you can be a fair, consistent leader, thus earning more trust and respect.

Critter fest 2024 Penny and Gage rocking it!!! Penny and Gage came to stay with us to work on different issues. Penny is a control freak that gets stubborn then insecure when she's not in control, and Gage is just a young puppy that has been afraid of the world due to lack of socialization. Using them during the event allows us to work on many of their weaknesses while building trust and confidence. Life is full of tests and opportunities, we just have to learn to make the most out of what we're given.

More Poodle Power 💪🏾 Are you more stubborn than your dog? If you aren't able to stick with what you're telling your dog to do, they will learn that and use it against you. When you tell your dog to do something and they don't, and you move on, they learn that your commands are optional.

Penny Penny is a sweet girl but she's as stubborn as a bulldog! She's had a few years of doing what she wants, so she came to training to learn that she's not in control. She's going to learn that she actually has more fun and freedom when she's able to listen to commands and respond accordingly and not only when she's in the mood. If you're not using Place to work on Impulse control, independence, time out, and overall mental work, you're missing out on likely the easiest, yet extremely efficient part of training.

Whose time does your dog work on? WHAT happens is not as important as WHEN it happens. If your dog jumps on the couch because it wants to, it's in control. If it has to wait for permission, you're in control. If he's jumps on you for attention, he's in control. If he waits until he's invited for hug, you're in control. If your dog eats when it's ready, it's in control. If your dog works for their food or eats when You're ready, You're in control. If your dog has free time when it's ready, it's in control. If it has free time when you say it's time, you're in control. He that decides what and when things happens, is in control.

Cosmo Cosmo working on his Off Leash commands. He really wants to chase the sheep, so I'm using them in the distance as a distraction.

Cosmo's Cosmo has been showing dominance with the other dogs, so we spent the morning enjoying a nice day while he and Astro worked on Place. We used this opportunity for him to learn that he can't control what the other dogs do. As expected, this stressed him out, not being in control. After a while, he finally laid down and relaxed.

Cosmo Cosmo came for training to learn that he isn't in control. Like most young dogs, he used his intelligence to manipulate and try to get what he wants. So many people, even trainers don't understand the importance of hand feeding meals. Hand feeding meals is different from hand feeding treats because meals are a source of life while treats are merely a reward. This is why many dogs lose interest in treats and people find themselves trying to find a higher value treat. Hand feeding meals also adds value to you and what your doing, teaching them that nothing in life is free and allowing them to EARN their meals like they would in the wild. This gives them more purpose and teaches them that you're a team and they WANT to work with and for you. With hand feeding, every meal becomes a training session, setting you up with more opportunities to work on the new skills, consistency and getting better compliance.

Astro The children in Astros house haven't been able to enjoy having a dog because every time they would try to interact with him, he would jump and nip and be out of control. He's now learning even when little kids are rubbing him or even running around, that's not grounds for bad behavior.
