DTSD Puppy Class - Week 3
Today the kiddos went back to school and worked hard on their Puppy Push-ups ๐ช then got to have some fun coolin off in the pool. Introducing your pup to water in a fun safe space so they can build confidence is key! These pups played chase around the pool for a while (Neptuneโs fav game) but after 2-3 minutes they were jumping in and out of it! Success โญ๏ธ #puppyclass #poolpawty

Does your dog have an issue protecting his/her food or toys?
Our new resident DTSD pooch, Rubio who we recently adopted looks like a terror in this video. He is guarding his Bully Stick and does not want to be messed with. This behavior is not welcome! At times we have thought it was funny if he has a ball and we fake him out to take it away.. he growls, it escalates and he lets out this screech bark but ultimately this needs to be addressed and dealt with. You should be able to approach your dog at anytime with whatever type of food, treat or toy and take that away at any moment without the fear of them guarding it or biting you.
Stay tuned for some tips on how to navigate this resource guarding behavior tomorrow on our #trainingtiptuesday post with @sara_maguire_ #onguard #resourceguarding #notinmyhouse
Fun Friday teaching tricks! Besides being a lot of fun, teaching your dog tricks is an awesome way to bond, understand how your dog learns, and improve your training skills. Every Friday, we share tricks that you can try with your pooch!
Our pack can speak Wookie apparently... We tried deciphering this convo between Topher and Atticus!
Topher: Yaag ruggwah maw huah huah? ("How do you give your fur that shine?")
Atticus: uughguughhhghghghhhgh uughghhhgh uughghhhgh huurh raaaaaahhgh
(โI use this awesome oatmeal conditioner for sensitive skin, you should try itโ)

Name Game
Happy Friday everyone! Today weโre playing the Name Game. The goal with this game is to encourage your dog to be more responsive when they hear their name. We use our dogsโ name so many times without attaching any meaning to it. Then when they hear their name they donโt understand that their focus shold be on you โ so thatโs what weโre working on today!
Friday Fun: Charge Your Mark
Todayโs Friday Fun is called Charge Your Mark. This game teaches your dog the meaning of a reward marker. A reward marker is a word or sound that lets your dog know that theyโre doing something you like. Itโs a great way to improve communication with your dog.
<< Reminder -->> INSTA LIVE with Sara this Sunday @ 10 AM PST. The topic is QUARANTRAIN. Weโll discuss the challenges of being cooped up with your pooch and what you can do...Send us your questions in the comments, drop us a DM, and join us live.
