And on attempt #3, we got it! You can see how happy & proud Musik is to have accomplished this feat! 👏🏼🎉 #keeptrying #challengeyourdog …. #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
There’s always time to practice training. And it’s especially important to do it in different conditions so your dog is always prepared to listen to you in case of an emergency. 🚨#alwaystraining #dogtraining #dogsafety #policedog …… #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
As a follow-up to a previous viral video where a few people slammed me for asking my service dog to be part of the delivery process, here is a video we just took as an example of how happy most people are. This guy actually came back to my door and asked me to text the video to him so he could have a copy. Then he texted me a little later me to thank me and say how happy he was to get the video! Musik brings so much joy into people’s lives. It’s sad when there are people who are afraid, and it’s even worse when there are people who get angry and mean about trying to brighten someone’s day! 🙃 #tipdeliverydrivers #bekind
My previous video showed me trying to see if Musik would walk on this wooden plank. It was unsuccessful, so we tried again a couple days later. Here are our 2 next attempts, where you can see she gained confidence and did a great job! 👏🏼 🎉 …. Once you have an overall confident and well-trained dog, they learn extremely quickly because they trust you and are excited to try new things. #teamwork #alwaystraining …. #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
Here’s an example of me trying something new with @musikdog . I always check in with her and make sure she feels safe when trying new things. Here is an example of her hesitating, and so I stopped immediately. I did not force her since it’s not necessary and I was just trying to gauge her comfort level. Don’t push your dog such that they lose trust in you or get injured! Pay attention to their signals and let them communicate to you what they can and can’t do comfortably…… #dogtraining #besafe ….. #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
Musik trying to figure out what hail is! Helping your dog to understand that strange things are safe is very important. No need for them to be stressed, and it helps build your relationship and trust.
The hardest thing about dog training is that many people will not listen. Often, people don’t follow the trainer’s instructions. Other times, friends or family won’t help people with their dog’s training by allowing them to jump up on them, beg from the table, get on the furniture, etc. …… It’s our job to communicate to people what our dogs need and make sure they get it. If you want your dog to sit politely to get petted, tell your friends it’s important to you and make it happen. Even if people are being difficult, with enough instruction, they can usually pull through. Even this idiot….. (He was actually torturing Musik, and could’ve caused her to fall down the stairs, which really annoyed me!) …… #dogtraining #frustration #listentome ….. .#dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer #schnauzersofinstagram #schnauzer #schnauzerlovers

GET IN YOUR BED! How to train your dog to lie down on or in anything.…. Giving your dog a place to settle can be a huge help in teaching them to stay calm and not jump on people, beg from the table, or otherwise be annoying. If they know that they should be lying in a bed, that gives them their job to do and helps them understand what you expect from them. …. If you just keep shooing them away, they will just keep coming back because they’re getting attention. And because they don’t know what you want them to do instead. So teaching a dog to lie in their bed, for instance, while you’re eating, is a great task to teach them so they can relax and let you enjoy your dinner as well. …. Learn how to easily teach them here:https://www.poochcoach.com/get-in-your-bed/….. Thanks again, Roverlund ! We love our new travel bed. 😍… #getinyourbed #calmdog #miniatureschnauzer Musik

Dogs can and should be trained to not fear loud noises! SF Giants had fireworks night last night, and we watched from our deck. It was one of the loudest shows we’ve ever heard. But even during the finale (as you’ll see here), @musikdog remains completely calm. She had already had fallen asleep during the middle of the show! #fireworks #nofear
