Here’s a training challenge for you to conquer while you have some time off and can relax with your pup! Not only is this a good exercise to teach them overall control, but it could also be something that saves their life someday. Good luck! And happy holidays! … #dogtraining #worldsbestdogactor #actingdog ….. Follow pup: @musikdog … 🎥 🎶 🐶 🤩 …. #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
It’s very important to teach your dog to not grab things out of people’s hands. Even if it is their toy or food, they need to demonstrate restraint. If not, inevitably, they will take something out of a child’s hand or from someone who is sitting eating food etc. …. And it will not only make the person whose food they took upset, but it also might be dangerous for your dog if they get chocolate or something else unhealthy or fatal for them! …. So make sure you train your dog to understand when they are allowed to take things from people‘s hands, and when they are not. #dogsafety #politedog 🎶 🐾 ... #dogmodel #dogactor #worldsbestdogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
Remember to keep your dog warm and safe in windy and rainy weather! High winds means objects are flying and can easily hit them and injure them. Walk them in protected areas without tree branches and garbage! #besafe
Working dog. Hard at work. But having fun! #servicedog @musikdog 🎶 🐾 #dogmodel #dogactor #miniatureschnauzer #merleschnauzer
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
