What do you think is the hardest thing to train with a puppy???….
This is Roger, he’s cute and he knows it, but he also knows: come, sit, down, stay, drop it, leave it, crate trained, and go outside to potty - why… because mom and dad were proactive with training (even the kids got in on the training)!

So what was the hardest part of training Roger….?
Drop your guesses👇

Learning to read your dog is a critical step in understanding them. Too many people focus on “communicating” with their dog and forget that communication relies on listening and understanding, not just taking.

To truly communicate with your dog you must first be willing to understand how they communicate with you.

Hailey is officially available 🥹 share this to help her!

This sweet, beautiful girl had a great life until mom suddenly ended up in the hospital. …and won’t be returning home in the foreseeable future.

Hailey is a golden retriever (AKC unknown). We suspect she is more of a working line than show line because she does well with lots of exercise and clear rules. I will be providing free training in the San Diego area to help her get settled in her new home.

If you are interested in knowing more about adopting Hailey email [email protected]

🚨DOGS ARE NOT ROBOTS🤖

But, have you ever wondered how long it would take to train your dog? 🤔Or have you wondered how your trainer knows you need a 6 week board and train vs a 3 week?

Here is how you can ESTIMATE a timeline for your training.🧮

This is an extremely loose example - in an effort to help you see how many repetition your dog might need to develop a new learned skill.

#️⃣How many behaviors are you teaching?
⏱️What time frame are you looking for?
📚What method of training do you want to use?
📆How many times a day do you want to practice?

Remember 💡 dog training is NOT an exact science 🧫 there are factors such as - your skill level - your dogs drive - your relationship with your dog - if your dog has previous contradictory behavior - etc etc etc that will impact training.

As a pet parent, do you find this helpful?
