Please make sure your dogs are kept safely indoors and as comfortable as possible this weekend. Fortunately these flyovers are predictable for the next few days in SF. Just like darling Screwy Louie’s mom demonstrates in this video, please work on desensitizing and counter conditioning puppies in their socialization period to these sounds #. And for dogs uncomfortable with the planes, please hang out with and soothe them, you can’t reinforce and heighten fear doing that. And for Dog’s Sake, pull out the high value treats for the furkids (if they’ll take them).
Good luck my dear #dogsofsanfrancisco #puppiesofsanfrancisco

"Go to mat" is one of the behaviors first taught in Puppy 1 that puppies get to build up in Puppy 2, where the behavior is strengthened with the "3 Ds", distance, distraction, and duration! If your puppy knows "go to mat", but can't stay for useful periods of time when distractions are abound, sign them up for Puppy 2. Our next session starts July 25th!

In Puppy 1, puppies learn many things using treats as lures, and THEN how to do the behaviors for verbal cues with no lures in sight! This helps them learn that good things come from doing the behavior, not as bribes to do the behavior.

We have so much fun in Puppy Two! I love watching these pups improve their skills and helping families take their relationships with their dogs to the next level.
What would your dog do if you dropped a large treat near them and ran away?
That epic moment when the puppy realizes that the reward comes from not trying to get it.
This is what I call a lightbulb moment; the moment the puppy "gets it" and realizes what needs to be done. It is always so rewarding to watch... and even more rewarding the first time they leave that nasty pile of who knows what on the street.

Wondering what Ruby has been up to? She’s been hitting the streets of North Beach for socialization, enjoying all of the fantastic smells and sounds and wishing she could go to Florence and Roma this summer. #bernesemountaindog #bernesemountaindogpuppy #sanfrancisco #northbeachsf #northbeach #puppiesofsf #sfpuppy #puppysocialization #environmentalsocialization #pizzadog
Puppies play and parents (and kids) learn every Tuesday and Thursday night at our puppy socials.

Play, smiles and laughter at our Puppy Socials. The kids are entertained, the puppies are learning to dog, and the parents are starting to recognize the body language of puppies having a good time and learning to communicate as they play. #puppysocials #sfpuppysocials #puppysocialsinsf #puppyplay #puppysocialization #puppysocializationclass #puppiesofsanfrancisco
